Everyone talks these days about the dating phenomenon of ‘ghosting’, but I’d like to discuss this practice outside of the dating world and inside the real world in general.
[Read more…]Australia is not my paradise
Whenever I meet someone new and they find out I’m from Australia, the most common response is ‘oh but Australia is a paradise/so beautiful, why would you ever want to leave there’?
[Read more…]Some more thoughts on being Asian
I used to think about it every day. Whether I wanted to or not, it was something I couldn’t escape from. Being Asian.
[Read more…]My divided life – part three
It feels quite arrogant and obnoxious writing this – but I have a pretty amazing life. Previously, I struggled with splitting my life between city and countryside, but since quitting my job in September, I couldn’t be happier.
[Read more…]First time fasting
As part of my ‘body and health experimentation’, I decided to try a 24 hour fast for the first time. We were in Fröhden and Mateusz, Artur and Tad all decided to take part in it as well.
[Read more…]One week without alcohol and coffee
