Just a few thoughts...

By
Hello! I hope everyone is staying safe and well, despite everything going on.

I was watching the sun set a few evenings ago and naturally, I got myself into a deep thought cycle. Which isn't uncommon for me, as I am a big fan of the whole DMC's.


As I was watching a rather beautiful day end, I had a few realisations which were very bittersweet, and I thought I would share with you all.

Captured a little too late, but very beautiful still!

I'm a big sucker for nature and just being in Gods' beautiful creation, so just watching a sun setting is one of the most peaceful places for me. I feel so blessed that a place like Bournemouth is home, as it's where I've seen some of the most picturesque sun sets. 

It was during my time in Bournemouth that I fell in love with the sun and its different episodes. For me sun sets bring all kinds of memories, such as falling in love, being thankful another day at work was done, worshipping Jesus as the sun sets etc. 

I could go on- as I said I spent a lot of time in nature and soaking in the glory of it. If you ask me, it all being created in just 6 days is mind boggling- but oh so glorious. 

I love that something that everyone witnesses, can hold so much or so little value to different people. All my memories have nothing to do with the actual science behind the sun setting, but more the state of mind I was at the time. 

I like to think that COVID-19 is going to be similar for us all. We are all experiencing the same thing, but it will bring back different memories for us all in a few years. Some life changing- for the better or worse, or for others just a little inconvenient we can't have a holiday.
 - All totally valid places to be! - 

Now drawing a parallel between a stunning sunset and a devastating pandemic is never ideal but try to listen to the message behind the imagery rather than the poor imagery haha. 


So, my food for thought that I would like to leave you with is this: 

                                                             What's your sunset? 
What's that thing for you that brings you peace even in the most unsettling of times? Focus on that and try to spend more of this pandemic doing things that bring you peace in your heart and bring you back to the beauty. 

I hope my waffle and thoughts make some sort of sense to you! I've loved being more creative with my thoughts lately, as trust me I have a lot going on in here haha. 

Always here if anybody needs a listening ear,

Charlie x

Comparision

By
So i guarantee everyone reading this has compared themselves to another person or object at least once. Comparison is very common in teenagers especially, but most of us do it. In a way it is only part of our instincts as we all get envious, but it is also really unhealthy. If you're constantly wishing to be something else, then you can't really ever love yourself can you? Then how do you expect somebody else too if you can't. There is a fine line between passively saying "I like her hair I wish mine fell like that" and saying "I like her hair, why can't I be like her. she's so much of a better person than me". There will be times where you will be jealous of somebody's appearance or their talent or personality etc. But their qualities or skills do not define your qualities or skills. What I mean by that Is just because somebody's qualities are high, it doesn't make you any better than them or any worse. Nobody can compare themselv

Are books losing popularity?

By
Are books losing popularity?  So personally i believe they are. Now let me explain my reasons why. So many years ago before technology most people would read books as a pastime out of enjoyment. Now that color TV'S, mobile phones and the internet are around less and less people are reading books. Also a high number of the population would prefer to watch the film as it's easier and requires less concentration. This means that the majority of people my generation (Late 1990's+) are just not interested in reading in fear of looking uncool and like a "nerd". Now obviously it is in the curriculum to read when you first start school, so most people can actually read they just chose not too. Me being an avid reader and lover of books cannot see this nonsense. but unfortunately it's the truth of today's society. So my second reasoning is fairly similar to the first as it's also down to technology. So i'm sure you've all heard of E-readers and ki

Religion...

By
Now I know religion is quite a conversational subject as every body has their own beliefs due to free will. But I would like to just explain it from my own belief and what I think on the matter. The religion I follow and believe in is Christianity and I have done for the past 8 months. Being a christian is a huge part of my daily life and I take pride in the fact I have a father as amazing as god. It's so reassuring to me that one day I will be reunited with god in heaven after serving him here on earth for many years. It saddens me that people get mocked, beaten up, even killed for believing and serving god. Most Christians mean no harm to anyone and all they wish to do is praise gods creations and spread the word of his gospel. Within my church family I know some pretty amazing people and I've had the pleasure of appearing in their lives due to god and I find that phenomenal that one god can have so much power. I believe that god gave his only son away to forgive the sins o
