Bad habits
Living with Insomnia:
Three years ago, my battle with insomnia began. At first, I thought it was a temporary phase—a stressful period that would eventually pass. But as the sleepless nights persisted, I realized this was more than just a fleeting issue. Insomnia had planted itself firmly in my life, transforming my once predictable nights into a series of restless hours and painful sunrises.

Stabbed in the back
It would be unfair of me to paint the situation as being totally negative because it isn’t, I’m surrounded by very supportive and loving friends who do show great loyalty and commitment, however, it's the break from the standard that makes it all the more striking. Having something happen to you which is out of the ordinary is what makes it hurt even more, to have someone you trust stab you in the back when you expect it the least. The experience of having someone you trust do that to you isn’t as bad as I expected it to be, at least for me it didn’t hurt that much because I saw it coming and secondly, I could mitigate the effects of it all together. I didn’t lose that much and I think the lesson I learned was precious, much more than the amount I lost.

How to Shift Your Mindset and Stop Fear of the Evil Eye
Recently, there has been much banter and controversy on social networks over this concept called Evil Eye, as if this thing exists and that some people's bad vibes or bad wishes have so much to do with our lives. Without much empirical research or scientific evidence being put forward on its basis, opinions widely vary on this aspect of life. I believe that the concept of the evil eye is based on cultural and superstitious thinking, that is, those who feel envious of your success or inner light may wish you harm or cast curses, which can eventually bring about misfortune or a decline in the blessings already in your life.

No New Notifications
1st December and the weather is unironically depictive of my current mood, dark, wet and seems like its winning a fight I didn't know we were in. The 19:05 train pulls off from Sligo Station or Mac Diarmada and I open my laptop as if there was going to be something on there that would help as a distraction or an escape from myself. I have frequented this journey from Sligo Town to Dublin Connolly umpteen times over the past year and my system for same curated down to T. My ability to meticulously plan and execute never letting me down, except when it does. When the world with its unpredictability shows it's face I forgot was there every so often and reminds me that the control I think I have on the world and my own life is in fact a mirage. Earlier today I woke after in my cold but warm two bedroom house in Tullaghan, county Leitrim, an extremely rural seaside village (if you can even call as something as small and isolated as that a village). Practically still dark I could feel a throbbing in the back of my head begin to surface and I wondered if this was what had woken me. The throbbing in my head was indeed self induced, stemming from a wild Saturday night of cannabis and sugary snacks, my almost nightly routine at this stage. However it was a Saturday night and I was feeling particularly more lonesome than usual so I had gifted myself an extra helping of both. Whether it was a gift or an increased dose was required to cover up the feelings of my immediate reality I still haven't yet clarified. I pondered on this as I leaned over to check the time on my phone. 7:55am and no new notifications. The feelings and negative self talk I numbed out last night are rapid in their meteoric rise to my psyche,"Obviously there's no notifications, what were you expecting, you idiot".

The Art of Recognising One’s Mistakes: A Path to Transforming Life
The Art of Recognising One’s Mistakes: A Path to Transforming Life In this world, no amount of wealth, success, or fame can match the profound ability to recognise one’s own mistakes. It is easy to point out the faults of others, to critique and judge, but the willingness to accept one’s errors is a rare and noble trait. Ego and overconfidence in one’s beliefs often blind us to our shortcomings. However, the moment we begin to acknowledge our mistakes and make earnest efforts to rectify them, a genuine transformation takes place in life.
