In a world of some pretty insane unpredictability and variables that are so far out of our control, don’t forget to keep your eye on how awesome the mundane parts of life can be. At the end of the day, they’re often the things that fill out most of our days, so maybe it’s time we try to appreciate them a little more ❤️

I pray not many people actually understand what this is and have experienced it, but I am sure some will.

The most valuable thing to me is my peace, and I lost it a little while ago.

For years I have consciously worked on my peace and made sure it always came first, as it’s something that keeps me grounded and keeps the noise between my ears manageable.

I gave the keys of the most valuable thing to me, the most important thing I have worked on to someone else. This left the door wide open for what I have worked so hard on to walk out the door, and it did.

My peace disappeared because I gave the keys that keeps it so safe, to someone else who didn’t fully understand the power those keys have over me, and neither did I.

Years of progress locked away in my mind that I can rely on and count on, got up and walked away before my eyes, and I had no idea just how significant that one thing was to me.

I take ownership, and I will work on rebuilding what I lost, but let this be a lesson to you…

Do not give the keys to your most precious thing to someone or something. Whether that be peace, happiness, fulfilment, or whatever it is you hold so closely inside you that you have worked so hard on.
Let things in, hold the door open and choose wisely for other things or people to see what you have locked away, but do not hand those keys over, look after them as if your life depends on it x taken in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia by @_nickrobbo

The words coward and selfish still get thrown around the suic1de conversation. I’m going to explain something to you if this lingers in your mind, not from a professional point of view, not from an observation point of view.
From a real life experience point of view.

Someone crippled with depression continues to live their life everyday for the people around them. Between their own ears, they’re done.
They’ve tried the remedies, the medication, the small things everyday, the big things everyday, but that debilitating thing they have lived with for so many years, for so many decades will not go away.

How can we measure how bad someone’s mind is when it’s full of overpowering, uncontrollable thought processes and a forever lingering cloud over their head. Scans can show the size of a tumour, a cancers progress through treatment, even a broken bone being healed. That isn’t the case when someone’s biggest enemy is what goes on between theirs ears.

Everyday that they hold on for those around them is courageous. It’s done for you, it’s done for the people that tell them they’re loved and cared for so deeply, but they cannot see any further beyond pain.

To comment on this and this feeling and to not have lived it is what’s cowardly and selfish.

A deeply depressed person doesn’t see the light, they just want their equivalent of a terminally ill person that can have access to assisted dying.

Every minute of their life is for other people. That isn’t selfish, that’s isn’t cowardly, that is one of the bravest and strongest things someone can do.
That’s the definition of selflessness.

Hey mate, just boi and me chiming in again with some more thoughts we had recently, I hang out with and talk to this boofhead the most so I realised inevitably we would have to have the same thoughts

Enjoy x

1. Who are we to say what makes someone else happy. They aren’t the same as us, they do life differently, so why should the same two things make us happy?

2. People come and go but you’re the only constant in your life, make sure you have a good relationship with yourself

3. If it’s not hurting or impacting you in one way or another, why let it bother you

4. Being alone and being lonely are two very different things

5. Have a small circle, then don’t be afraid to make it even smaller

6. If you wouldn’t waste your breath talking to them, why waste it talking about them

7. Don’t believe it until you hear it from the horses mouth, and until you do don’t formulate an opinion, that’s foolish

8. You might die soon so you should probably start living mate

I spose I learn things from what I see, what I experience, and what I do myself and would like to do better. I reflect a lot on many different things and realised we all seem to forget about the very simple rule we were taught as kids.

If you don’t have anything nice to say - don’t say it

A truly, TRULY kind hearted person is as rare as rocking horse shit these days, we all show glimpses but can we actually admit to ourselves we are truly kind people? I think we should prioritise that, I’m trying to anyway!

I think I’ll go my whole life not knowing what I’m “meant” to be doing and what my purpose is, wondering what the right thing is to chase or pursue and where I’m meant to end up.
Some people might hit the nail on the head, ducks all lined up in a row, things falling into place time after time…

My ducks don’t have a fuckin clue what they’re doing that’s for sure, but I think there is a degree of normality in that. It’s a shit show sometimes, it all makes sense other times, and I think that’s what life is “meant” to be.

I wish I had all the answers and a crystal ball so everything made sense, but I don’t and I never will, and neither will you.

So I will take my silly little ducks and appreciate the ebbs and flows of what life serves me and appreciate what I have, and what I’ve got at any given time, because that’s all we can do.
Maybe that’s all we are “meant” to do and anything more than that is just a little bonus!

Thanks for listening, it’s nice to be confident enough to post again, for however long it might last x

I actually enjoyed last weeks post which was a nice change… So bugger it, here’s 10 more thoughts that crossed my mind lately in no particular order that I hope you can get something from x

1. There are two types of people, those that listen to respond, and those that listen to understand… don’t waste your breath talking to the first type of person

2. When someone tells you who they are, acknowledge them. When someone shows you who they are, believe them

3. Why on earth would you expect a different outcome whilst doing the same thing over and over

4. To be at peace is such an underrated goal to have and strive for… and we all tend to do the opposite to attain it. Just slow down, with everything!

5. Don’t go borrowing worry from another day. You’ve got today’s worries to worry about

6. If you’re not losing friends, you’re not growing up. We all change, mature, and adjust to life at different rates, of course people will come and go

7. Make changes in your life purely for yourself and your own well-being. See who talks about you, and see who talks to you about it. People are too busy to check in but are never too busy to yap about you

8. The sooner you focus on what is, not what could be, the sooner your mind slows down and you start to appreciate what’s around you

9. We have two ears and one mouth for a reason. Listen more and talk less

10. Will drinking white monster kill you? (Or me because I love them) I dunno, maybe, but so can everything else once your foot leaves the front door - enjoy some things from time to time that may not be in the blue print of perfection, who the frick is perfect anyway

Every single one of us… all 8 Billion of us see the world differently. Don’t get your knickers in a knot if the bloke next to you goes about life a little different to you, if it isn’t hurting you, put a sock in it sunshine x by @_nickrobbo

I spose it’s time again to break another social media hiatus, here’s 10 thoughts that have crossed my mind lately that I’d like to share x

1. You will never know why people make so many of the decisions they do. Fortunately they aren’t your decisions - so don’t lose sleep over it

2. Someone’s ability to tolerate imperfection should never be overlooked. It’s an incredibly remarkable trait to have and something we should all learn to practice

3. People can effing suck sometimes… but so can you. Settle down, slow down, and get off your high horse from time to time

4. People can also be effing awesome sometimes… and so can you! Don’t forget to appreciate how good you can be

5. The exact moment you’re in right now reading these words is the only moment that actually exists. Read that again but slower this time. Be present

6. I’m not a peace keeper, I’m passionate and stand true to my values and beliefs to a point which can be detrimental sometimes. I don’t think there is a right or wrong way to be, but I do think both types of people can take notes from eachother

7. Stop trying to convince yourself people aren’t who they show you who they are

8. Everyone, absolutely everyone has a good side they can show you when they want to… being nice, being generous, you name it. Now ask yourself about how loud their bad side is and don’t ignore that

9. There aren’t 100, there aren’t 1000, there are a bajillion ways to skin a cat. Don’t be so closed minded that you only think your way to do something is the only way. You’re special, but you’re not that special hot shot

10. Chicken nuggets are fuckin yummy and I love my dog, a lot

Be kind to yourself and others, it’s all our first time doing life and who actually knows what the heck we are meant to be doing x by @_nickrobbo
