Good Adjective

We no longer hunt for our food on the open plains, we’re not gathering herbs and berries on the forest floor, we’re not catching fish with sticks and rocks. Instead we’re searching the aisles for a Tesco meal deal or queuing up for a dirty burger at McDonald’s, but at the front of the line, Karen from accounts is holding everybody up because she received soggy fries.

We get fulfilment from the high street sale rack; or from an annual week-long vacation to a 4-star hotel in costa del sol; or from that mainstream action-drama series that airs on a Saturday evening that gives you the […]

Something’s wrong with our society, can’t you feel it? We sing that we’re free as we dance through an endless maze of corporate advertisements that tell us how to live.

We trade our time for money, and our money for an escape.

How can it be that we are allowed two days per week to ‘live’.
How can it be that we’ve allowed this cancer to spread so violently without noticing the horrific side effects.

Slavery is at an all time high, and nobody bats an eye.

In this world you either feed the system, or die to it.

Survival of the fittest has become survival of the system.

It doesn’t […]

My life has deteriorated so dramatically since this cloud of depression first drifted into my life. I’m 21 now, I’ve been depressed for about 4-5 years. Started in school, my grades plummeted drastically, but I managed to get into my desired university course by the skin of my teeth. Although my time at high-school had come to an end, the depression remained stronger than ever. Its roots tangling themselves around my bones, squeezing them to test my strength.

My first year at university was tough, but I managed to pass my exams to proceed to the next year. In second year, the buzz of new surroundings […]

This is just a short essay about what I’ve been thinking about the world recently. Interested? Read. Otherwise don’t.

(I felt like that was necessary just so people know what they’re getting themselves into before reading the whole thing through. This  is going to be a ramble but i’ll try and be as insightful as I can.)

Been in a real deep slump recently, one of my worst. The usual thought-cycles keep swooshing around my brain, usually starting with self-hatred leading eventually to me trying to act as my own therapist attempting to figure out how I ended up in such a state. One of the causes that I often blame […]

I use video games as a method of escapism. It’s as if my brain simply changes the channel and my problems vanish until the game ends. Anyway, the games I play need a good internet connection which is rare in my house. Instead I started to read a new book. About an hour into the book the main character says they’re in love. And I started to cry. I cried because I allowed myself to believe for a second that I’m in love too.

I like to pretend that I’m in love with a guy from work who is stupidly attractive, kind of silly, kind of flirty, […]
