Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Inner struggles: 12 of 498

The Counsellors Ceiling. I sit in the counsellors chair with all my senses in a twist, stretch to reach the mind so open although I know it don't exist. As a silence embraces me an aching panic stirs within, I wait for what will follow now the butterflies have spread their wings. Out they fly in angry colour and drop the wor...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Media: 1 of 15

Me & TV. TV wannabes, doubtful celebrities, virtual reality, get them away from me. Useful documentaries, looking back for centuries, showing us how life could be, exposing scams and poverty. Soap stars smile convincingly, you're sucked in wholeheartedly, it feels they're almost family, you think its real - its just TV. The ...

A message to school bullies. Here's a little warning to little folks in school who may not be that bad but think that bullying is cool, I have a few examples I have listed down below for small bullies to consider and learn before they grow.

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Nightmares: 20 of 165

Earthly Nightmare. My eyes must have rolled side to side the night I dreamt that humans died and in my slumber I was chilled that nothing left behind was real. I felt suspended in mid-air as freezing wind combed all my hair and through my frozen eyes I saw the Earth below where I was born. A sterile sphere stared back at me ...
Pets & Animals > Birds Keeping cats away from your birdfeeder: 1 of 7

If you are planning to put a bird feeder in your garden and own an outdoor cat, it's a pretty pointless exercise! It seems a bit cruel to attract birds to your garden for them to fall prey to your cat. Outdoor cats are decimating local wildlife and should not be further encouraged. I personally only take on indoor cats, but ...
Sciences > Psychology Depression: Is society taking the wrong approach?: 6 of 32

Yes, society is taking entirely the wrong approach to depression. But this is not really because anyone is deliberately messing up. Its because depression is generally viewed as an illness instead of a condition that may be a normal response to events that have happened. As it is generally seen as an illness, there is a tend...

The Unforgiven. She treads behind me wherever I go she waits and she watches so softly and slow, I know she's not near me but inside my head yet her footsteps keep going to tell me she's there. Her eyes burn through me pleading my heart she begs and she begs me to give her a chance, but she's had all her chances throughout a...
Pets & Animals > Rodents How to tame a guinea pig: 2 of 9

Guinea pigs are highly sociable creatures that live in colonies and communicate verbally among each other in their own vast vocabulary of squeaks and squeals. Although they may voice their opinions quite loudly, they are very gentle creatures and aggression from these peaceful animals is rare. Happy and healthy guinea pigs w...
Education > Educational Philosophy The missing ingredient in education: 13 of 47

Education is an important subject, as our access to good education and our success with it can have a huge impact on the quality of our lives. There is a lot of snobbery about which subjects are more valuable than others. There is also a school of thought that you can only measure 'success' in terms of grades received. My ex...
Religion & Spirituality > Self-Healing How to spot opportunity when you are blinded by crisis: 7 of 25

In the face of crisis, it can be very difficult not to be overwhelmed. It may feel like we are unable to cope, that life is completely unfair, and even that we are helpless. These negative feelings can pull us down, damage our confidence and tempt us into giving up. As we've all had different experiences, we've learnt a whol...
