ASMR – ‘Autonomous sensory meridian response’ Or In other words: The triggering of a tingling-like sensation spreading from the scalp down the spine as a result of visual or auditory stimuli. Or in other words: A brain gasm! Over the passed couple of weeks I find myself watching and listening to more and more asmr…

The Psychology of Value – Culture
Carrying on from yesterday’s post, I noted how this concept of value stems from our childhoods. How we internally form an attachment to particular items we deem as ‘ours’ from a young age. Yet when comparing this globally, there are certain cultures where regardless of age, this trend does not appear. For example in a…

The Psychology of Value
What do you think is more valuable, the price of these rings in the picture, or, the relationship symbolised by them? No rush to answer! How about the question below instead, as a continuation from yesterday’s post: If I gifted you a Swiss chocolate bar to begin with then a few moments later asked…

How Important Is Your Health?
The answers is yes, if you don’t have a screw loose, but if this is the answer then why do so many of us struggle to keep the gym routine in check, or even have one to begin with? How often should you really go to the gym? It’s a shame to say it but…

Poem – What’s In A Tattoo?
The needle pierces my body, But I feel no pain. Black Ink drowns my pores, Euphoria begins. I am in paradise, I am transformed. My skin marked before my eyes, An external expression of an inner form. This is the poem I wrote for my first ever podcast published on my blog!…

Why The Winter Blues?

The Gunpowder Plot, Dismembered, put down. Destructive paths each had chosen, Treasonous, treacherous. Yet failed to make any explosion.…

Why Do We Dress Up Like Kn*bs On Halloween?
If you read my earlier post, the title above may have sprung to mind. It is a weird concept if we remove ourselves from the festivities for just a second, and instead have a momentary out of body experience. Envision yourself looking at your badly sewn together costume, your lop-sided devil horns and staining-for-weeks pasty…

Poem: Halloween
Halloween Didn’t you hear the scream? It’s half past 9 or is it 9.15? I need to wake up from this nightmarish dream. Plump pumpkin’s are carved, Their flesh scooped from their core. Night has fallen upon us, Yet it’s only half past 4. A tar-like black shrouds the moon in mystery. Is…
