Reflections – Shell Spotted

The Milestone Trap

I think that after all this time I still come to think of my life as hitting ‘milestones.’

Moved in together. Tick. Got a cat. Tick. Full time corporate job. Tick. And now, Degree. Tick.

I asked for a raise

Lets put it in perspective that I also asked for a 20% increase. That’s a lot. In my brain its too far a jump. Its ridiculous. But I asked for it – why?

Someone, please draw on my skin with needles

One Conversation is all it takes

As I get older I’m placing more importance on healthy communication. As well as that, I’m realising just how much a simple conversation can make the difference in my whole day.

My To-Do list is not my friend

The issue I have, is that I’ll write too many tasks for the day, the day goes awry and then I feel like a steaming pile of garbage when I haven’t ticked off my eight tasks.
