These days I'm feeling bent and broken; pulled apart in about a hundred different directions. As Bilbo Baggins once said "I feel thin, like butter spread over too much bread." Or something to that extent, at least. When I say thin, I don't mean weight wise either.

As many 26 year olds feel these days, I'm in awe at the lack of the 'spectaular' in my life. Right from the time we are toddlers we are told that we are special and can do anything we put our minds to...then we hit adulthood and get kicked in the teeth. We're not really all that special. We're not all these intricate beautiful snowflakes. We're just humans, trying to find a place in the world. Working to live, living to work.

It's depressing, degrading, it strips us of all humanity. Everyday we whore ourselves out to the world but get nothing in return

You sound defeated my poppet.


So here's to you:

Wishing you the Christmas that you've always dreamed of, filled with love and joy, light and life.
May all your dreams come true.

Love always, Gnothi x

Thank you very much, Gnothi.

Yes I was feeling very defeated that day. I feel better now, but I still feel like striving for greatness really kills us mentally and emotionally in the end.

Have a wonderful Christmas and I hope this new year brings you all the faboo things that you deserve!

Happy Christmas MP!

I hope you're feeling a bit more chipper now. Don't worry about the 'Quarter-life crisis' you'll get over the hump eventually and realise that it makes the little things seem more special. In the meantime, I'll fish out my Be Here Now CD in your honour...
