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.

Let's live together

Most families around the world live in communities.  In the western world, this concept has been replaced by a single-family household. Yet, the latter struggle to meet their needs through the ages. With a young family, parents are overstretched with family and work commitment. The olds struggle with illnesses and social isolation.  What can possibly be done? Well, let's live together.  Look up co-housing and specifically retrofit co-housing so we can start where we are to build the community that we dream of.

How my relationship with capitalism is impacting my carbon footprint?

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...

When you do not pursue a career in academia after your Ph.D and do a job unrelated to your field of study

It is absolutely OK.  Many people do not pursue a career in academia after their Ph.D and even do a job unrelated to their field of study. I am amongst those people I completed my doctorate in the field of Design for Sustainable Behaviour and I looked at the factors influencing people to repair small electrical items. I took the opportunity during my doctorate to organise repair events, and a festival to engage people with this concept of repair. Then, in my discussion, there were some elements about the impacts of poor design decisions on women's wellbeing and sense of worth. I thought that if I had to focused on violence towards women, I would like to focus on the worst. When I submitted my thesis, I looked for a position in gender-based violence field. I wanted it to be part-time so I could pursue my other passions such as writing, arts, travelling, gardening, appreciating the idle time while looking after my family. I also wanted to work closed from home. Quetzal, a charity bas...
