#649 Wings of Love rather than Horns of Jealousy..


, beware, my lord, of jealousy; 
It is the green-ey'd monster, which doth mock,
The meat it feeds on. That cuckold lives in bliss, 
Who, certain of his fate, loves not his wronger: 
But O, what damnèd minutes tells he o'er 
Who dotes, yet doubts, suspects, yet strongly loves! 

Have you ever felt the stirring of Jealousy? The horns slowly coming out?
Jealousy is a sneaky bugger—a pot-stirrer who likes to aid the ego in pointing out flaws you’d rather just sweep under the rug. It serves as a reminder of all the success you don’t have, the experiences you haven’t had, the relationships you’d like to have—basically everything that makes you feel “less than.”  The idea about Jealousy and removing those horns is to appreciate “what is” rather than what “could be". 

If you’re able to appreciate and express gratitude for the experience you are having right now—no matter how negative they may look on the surface—you’ll have a greater capacity for appreciating the positive experiences when they begin to show up. 

Maybe you don’t have the career success or relationship satisfaction of those around you, or that man-woman by your side yet, but by working through anything that is less than ideal, you are achieving something great: growth. And with growth will make room for the changes you’ve been waiting for. 

Jealousy planted one glaring misconception in my mind along time ago: it made me think that I  simply wasn’t enough. I have since realised that the hardships I was experiencing weren’t meant to point out my inadequacies, but to create an entirely new life experience that was more fulfilling and more…me. So time to put those horns away and be free of the green-eyed monster.

#611 Nearly forgot my broken heart, it's time to remember what we have..


I was listening to a song the other day aka (name of title) and the singer when creating the song was asking himself “What happens when someone suddenly realises that they’re moving on with their lives? Whether they had a bad experience, or got fired, or are suffering with their self-esteem, or got dumped – whatever it is – feeling like life is going to be dark forever, and then you realise one day, it is not going to be that bad after all.

We are all in an age of wanting reassurance, wanting things right now, as he calls it “a weird age where there’s more and more immediate distraction and we’re all getting used to it,” “The distraction is just absurd – watching a YouTube video of a guy falling off a skateboard, this kind of crap! 

Our eyes are just sort of buried into our smart phones now, so I think we’re going through a period of getting further and further away from recognising what we have, appreciating life for what it is, giving thanks for all the awesome moments in your life whether good or bad, but appreciating all “that the crazy planet can provide and all these amazing things.”

As they say in the advertisements... it is remembering to look up once in a while. 
Appreciate what you have right beside you....<3

#545 Lost in Rosie






We are naturally aspirational creatures, and can’t help chasing after perfection. Nearly every person on the planet wishes they had perfect skin or the perfect body. The funny thing about perfection is that it’s a slippery concept. 300 years ago the ideal woman had small breasts, round hips and thunder thighs. In 1920s America a flat chested boyish figure with a round face and teeny tiny lips was the beauty ideal. Women would actually bind their breasts in order to achieve a flatter look. I most definitely am glad I was not born in the 1920’s.


Effectively, you are not the one who decides how to be beautiful, the culture around you does, through the movies, fashion advertisements and editorials it produces. Ideals change with the trends. One small spark can set off a forest fire, and all it takes is one small seed of an idea to be planted to change how everyone sees the world. Before the young and very girlish Kate Moss came along models were women. Supermodels like Cindy Crawford had curves, muscles and broadness. Their whole presence was about feminine strength. But Kate Moss transfixed everyone with what was considered a strange kind of beauty at the time. Kate was small, short, extremely thin and charmingly imperfect. Editors pointed out how she had the look of a heroin addict, and then called her a “heroin chic” – in which a radically new form of beauty was born. It was the spark that set the whole industry on fire.


Photoshop the programme was launched on February 19, 1990, just four months before Kate Moss’ big modeling debut on the cover of The Face magazine. It was a remarkable coincidence. Photoshop would go on to have as profound an effect on the fashion industry as Kate would have on the appearance of models. It was a decided turning point in our cultural perception of beauty – a point at which our standards and expectations would begin to grow unreasonably high. Skin would become waxy smooth, teeth flawlessly white, the body without a single fold, wrinkle, vein or bulge. Suddenly smiling faces had no natural laugh lines and slouching bodies no sign of skin folds. These are simply things that all bodies do, but thanks to the extensive use of Photoshop in the media, the natural began to be not quite what our real bodies and faces are supposed to look like.


In Secondlife the flawless beauty still remains, the slight curve of the waist but the long elongated legs is still around. Such beauty is what our designer for the day has created for us and that being Elysium, and the beauty that awaits you of ‘Rosie’.


In Secondlife there is no harm to use Photoshop, but do you think we should be photoshopping real beauty? Isn’t the flaws all a matter of who we all are?
