I don't remember what happened, but I remember the way you make me feel done

Adventures lead us further and farther from the truth.

Regrets and misery blur the secrets of the past. 

Selective memories erase the reasons why we fell apart but reminiscences remind us how one make us feel. 

When we encounter one another, old behaviours reappear as if the pandora box got opened once more. 

I wish I could rewrite history for enemies to become allies and for forfeiture to become reciprocity. 

Unfortunately, no opportunity was given to tie the knot between those and I. No bigger project than our egos has brought us together. If making life on this planet a better place for you and I was the only scheme of things, we would not need heroes, zeroes, enemies and friends since empathy will be the only way forward. 

Isn't it within our encounter with death and immorality that we finally understand the insignificance of our internal arguments? 

Let's be together for the time being and begin.

Ambivalent feelings about staying or leaving

Do you want to stay in one place and be rooted to ground yourself in a specific environment? Do you want to be leaving and go to different places to elevate yourself? Can you do both at the same time?

Individual Capacities - Every neighbour has the belief that they have special gifts, talents or knowledge to share 3.

How my relationship with capitalism is impacting my carbon footprint?

Published on Footpaths Leicester Capitalism is an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state. My carbon footprint is the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere as a result of my activities. My activities serve capitalism. They serve private owners for profit at the expense of natural resources and human beings. I am trapped and enslaved by capitalism, this is my relationship with it and it impacts dearly on my carbon footprint but also on my wellbeing and sense of belonginess. I am striving to strip myself away from capitalism. I refused to work for large corporate organisations. I refuse to consume excessively. I shop in charity shops, buy in bulk from the Wholefood Coop in Leicester, cycle to work, do not travel by plane. I try to save for some solar panels and an electric car, I try to repair what I own and try to engage others in changing behaviour through campaigning...
