There's no room to grow, Within these four walls. These hallowed halls, Ring too loudly Of the past. There's no room to breathe, Among these toxic fumes, That have been festering, For years, Within the minds Of my family. There's no room to heal, When the black clouds do grow, Casting a shadow… Continue reading “There’s No Room” – Poem

What Society Thinks of Mental Health

Remind Yourself That You’re Enough
I know that my mental health weakens when I compare myself to others, get jealous of others, fail or fall short, or don't do "enough". Well, the best way to combat this is to remind yourself that you're enough. Remind yourself of the awesomeness that you've already achieved or seen or experienced. We can feel… Continue reading Remind Yourself That You’re Enough
Perspective
I find that perspective is the most important tool to checking yourself (or rather, getting yourself in check). As I've gotten older, I've found my ability to check-myself and put things into perspective has increased tenfold, and I'm writing this IEG article today about perspective because this morning I finished reading "The Fault in Our… Continue reading Perspective

How Your Prejudice Affects a Person’s Life
We all have prejudices. They stem from our upbringing, influences, and our experiences. From these things, we are kind of "taught" how to act in a certain situation. And this extends to how we treat others, too. However, how often do we actually consider what our prejudices do to other people. How we make them… Continue reading How Your Prejudice Affects a Person’s Life
Spring Has Sprung & What That Means For Me
It is the Spring Equinox today, which means spring is here! I think someone needs to tell the weather that, though...

I find that I suffer from SAD in the winter, so I always… Continue reading Spring Has Sprung & What That Means For Me
You’re Too Smart To Generalise So Easily
Here is your first IEG, thought-provoking article. I thought I'd start off the IEG articles with a fairly "simple" and easy to digest concept. Racism. Sexism. Sexuality. Religion. Mental Health. And more. Yeah, not so simple. But today, all I want to talk about is GENERALISATION. Generalisation is at the root of most of the… Continue reading You’re Too Smart To Generalise So Easily
