How an earth did we end up here. Everything is becoming offensive. Today I read that the word Mother or Father should not be used as it is offensive for some parents or couples but what about those of us who are proud to be a Mother or Father? I love being a Mum and I don’t want to be referred to as ‘Parent’ I actually find that offensive. It’s not personable. Same with she or him to becoming ‘they’ It’s totally dehumanising people and we will all just become a human with no identity. I like the fact that I am a woman and I am a Mum so what about the rights of us that celebrate such a feeling?

It’s all very well teaching this at a young age in schools but I think it’s hard enough to grow up in this world as it is without adding so much confusion to children. They are overloaded with information as it is and it becomes harder for them to enjoy the freedom of being a child.

It’s freedom of speech and human rights but only if it’s en vogue. The world is changing and it is definitely not for the better. The brutal reality is I accept that we should recognise all people and what that stands for but you can’t make every WC gender neutral, would you want your young child going into a WC and being amongst adults? It’s just too much. There has to be a line. We are becoming a very confused and mixed up world. Between class, colour, gender, society it’s all crazy.

People want to speak but they don’t want to listen. We listen only to reply. Everyone has an opinion and that opinion is right. It’s completely out of control.

The government the people we are supposed to trust, they blatantly and brazenly are openly fraudulent, they build a society for themselves. It becomes a world similar to ‘In time’ or ‘The hunger games’.

Average people need to take accountability for themselves. They tell themselves that things are unobtainable for the likes of them, that they are a realist and they will never have this or that. People set themselves limitations and the reality is there are none. We make the mistake of listening to everyone else, everyone else’s opinions and thoughts. We end up in a confused haze of everyone else’s negativity and drama. Life is so short, imagine if the only words we heard were those of positivity. We can achieve amazing things and live an amazing life. I’m not saying we walk around smiling all day with the sun shining and birds tweeting, because to achieve amazing things takes dedication and devotion and it is hard work. No one said it is going to be easy you have to believe but being caught up in the everyday negativity is so mundane, boring and to be honest completely unhealthy.

I wonder how many illnesses would go away if we were much more positive if we adjusted our mind set. It’s like we spread toxins. Negativity is a poison and we live and breathe it but worse we are choosing to accept it. Some thrive from it and it’s awful. Sometimes I feel that I just simply don’t belong in this world because when you wake up and you walk around with your eyes wide open you can clearly see the dirty reality of humanity. The next generation come into the world and believe they know it all, make demands and human rights is banded around more and more. It’s 2023 and the world is evolving all the time and humans are responsible for so much damage. But the world 100 years ago was very different to where we are today. The world 10 years ago is very different to where we are today and as the years go by I ask myself ‘do I want to be part of it?’ simply the answer is in hind sight when my children were very young or even maybe before I had children I would have opted for an off grid living. There are so many people out there believing they are making positive changes to society but really are they ? Or is it selfish and relevant to them or to the few and they want to make it bigger than it is? That is not my opinion that is my question. People become defensive when you question them but really we should all be questioning ourselves more and more. We get too caught up in our own selfish journey. We want to cry and moan and feel sorry for ourselves but some of the most inspirational people are those that have been through hell and back but they don’t sit there and rock and feel sorry for themselves they look the devil in the eye and say ‘Fuck this’ I’m getting though this and I’m going to be more. They don’t need to cry and dwell and tell the world how hard it is for them and that to be honest is the quality that we are loosing. It’s not about dismissing mental health because it’s so very important to understand your mind set and where you are at but whatever has happened to anyone there has to be a way forward otherwise it’s game over. There has to be a mental tool set to get you where you need to be but you also need to be tough. We have lost that element and it’s a really important part of life and moving forward. Strength and courage to face the future.
