What It’s Like To Have A Ridiculously High Sex Count

I wish I could tally up all the people I’ve slept with, but the fact is I can’t. Or, putting it better: the task is nearly impossible. To hazard a guess, I’d say the number sits between 100–200. But in all honesty, it could be more. Put simply: I’ve lost my sex count. Of course, it’s not something I’d happily gloat about. Sure, some people (men) … Continue reading What It’s Like To Have A Ridiculously High Sex Count

All You Need Is A Glass Of Water

The miracle elixir… It’s amazing how water, with the simple construct of hydrogen and oxygen, is the elixir of life. One of its primary roles is to flush out our kidneys of the waste it creates. Water also helps keep our minds sharp; without enough of it, we feel drained — both literally and figuratively. And while we all know this, there always comes a … Continue reading All You Need Is A Glass Of Water

3 Things I Want To Do When This Pandemic Ends

When you live in a country that has flipped between hard lockdowns and freedom, it’s quite easy to get sentimental. Possibly angry, too. Currently, I’m in lockdown in Sydney, Australia due to a virulent strain of Covid-19 — which truly sucks considering we were going so well. We could dance in nightclubs, dine in at restaurants, and have sex with irregular partners. But here we … Continue reading 3 Things I Want To Do When This Pandemic Ends

Curiosity Is Not A Reason To Know Someone’s Genitals

For far too long, the world has placed enormous importance on someone’s sex. So much so that we would treat people differently if they were a man or a woman. Indeed, with progression, we’ve come to learn that someone’s sex is not an overarching factor in someone’s character. You can have a vagina and lead a Fortune 500 company and, equally, you can have a … Continue reading Curiosity Is Not A Reason To Know Someone’s Genitals

10 Short Quotes To Enhance Your Life

A good quote is short, snappy, and straight to the point. It never waffles, it just delivers the punch with gusto. And, like every good sentence, they make you understand.

2020’s Greatest Lesson We’ve Yet To Learn

Thirty-three years ago, Former President Ronald Reagan pondered optimistically on how an alien invasion would unite the world. Unfortunately, rather than tackling his central theme, we launched conspiracy theories about possible alien invasions – clearly missing the point. “And yet,” he continued, “I ask you, is not an alien force already among us? What could be more alien to the universal aspirations of our peoples … Continue reading 2020’s Greatest Lesson We’ve Yet To Learn

The One Thing You Must Do Before 30

When it comes to life, there’s no greater cause for alarm than the act of turning 30. Society has built up an ongoing ideal that you have to do everything before your 30, and that’s not entirely true for everyone. Indeed, many of you will have worked towards a career or strived to get married and have children, or even gone on a working holiday … Continue reading The One Thing You Must Do Before 30

Labels Are For Humans, Too

You’ve heard the saying… “Labels are for clothes, not for humans.” As if we don’t require categorisation. But I somewhat disagree because, without categorisation, how do we fit into this wide and wavering world? It’d just be a cliche sea of plain white clothes, mingling without any navigational points. You see, we require labels, not just to shape our own identity, but to showcase to … Continue reading Labels Are For Humans, Too

Overcoming Loneliness In A Pandemic

Let’s face it, this pandemic has dampened our social lives. Is it just me, or are the days just blending together? It seems that all we have at the moment is work and home, home and work. And it feels so polarising. We have to suffer from finding connections through the virtual world, with our friends and family. And when we do meet up in … Continue reading Overcoming Loneliness In A Pandemic

Want To Belong? Then Stand Out!

As a writer, I can’t do what everyone else is doing. Not only is it plagiarism, but it’s also practically impossible since everyone writes in a smorgasbord of different styles, voices and forms. Further, if I was to write what everyone else is writing about, then I won’t succeed either. Nobody wins by following the crowd. Which means, for me to be the best at … Continue reading Want To Belong? Then Stand Out!

How To Practice Emotional Intelligence

Intelligence is not about what you know but how you know. For instance, you know that no other word rhymes with orange – not because I just told you, but because you’re actively trying to find a word that does. You are applying knowledge to a conundrum and finding the truth. This is also true for emotional intelligence. To be emotionally intelligent, you need to … Continue reading How To Practice Emotional Intelligence
