Bright

Lately life has been so busy I barely notice the days slipping by. A new job is sapping all of my time and energy but I am getting so much experience and joy out of it that I wouldn't have it any other way.

While commuting I have been listening to the 'happy place' podcast by fern cotton and I have really been relating to and being intrigued by some of the thoughts they have been exploring. So much so in fact, that I wrote a poem about it (please see below).

I've been interested in the idea of being in control of how we pecieve the world, how we respond and how we feel. I think it's easy to blame 'bad events' or 'bad people' for our moods without taking responsibility for our own wellbeing. I think we forget that how we act and how we speak (even when angry/sad) impacts the world around us. Food for thought I think.

Bright

Some light flickers, 
But seek to shine, 
When light holds even, 
Emotions are mine

We seek constant, 
But fail to see,
We seek the light, 
But we are the key

To me and you, 
I seek to warm, 
For I cause change, 
Even when I'm torn 

Show kinds of light, 
Bright meaning smart,
Bright from your soul, 
And bright from your heart 


Hope you are all well,

Much Love,

Lozzy

10 things 2020 has taught me so far

This year has been strange for all of us. Some people enjoyed the time off, some hated the lack of structure. Some loved spending quality time with loves ones, others felt claustrophobic. Some of us felt all of this and more. But you know what, I learnt a lot. I learnt a lot about myself that I didn't already know and i'm sure many of you can resonate with some of these points.  I found out that keeping busy was my way of blocking things out. When everything stopped and I could no longer keep filling all my time with 'stuff' I found that I felt quite uncomfortable. Unaddressed demons kept popping up for the first few weeks. This time made me stop and address things I had otherwise would have kept putting off further. It felt healing to let things go and focus on me. Work does not define me. Your job is a part of you, yes, but it is not everything about you. You should not tangle your self worth up in anything that is outside of you.  I found out what I really enjoy. ...

International womens day: Ensuring future equality in the face of Brexit #FaceHerFuture

Womens' equality has come a long way but it has further to go. The #MeToo movement over the past year has again highlighted gender inequality when it comes to sexual harassment in the workplace and emphasises a need for the strengthening of laws surrounding these issues. Currently only 1/3 of MPs are women and many STEM subjects see similar inequality. We have now entered our second year of gender pay gap reporting and unfortunately the numbers do not equate. In 2017 a report by the world economic forum predicted that it would take another 100years until the gender gap closes. Inequality is seen by many as a problem in the past. But as recently at 1991 rape in marriage was first considered a crime. Fawcett Society is the leading charity campaigning for womens rights in great Britain. They state: 'Our vision is a society in which women and girls in all their diversity are equal and truly free to fulfill their potential creating a stronger, happier, better future ...

What a week....

Hello again everyone! How have all of your weeks gone? Mines been absolutely, unbelievably shocking… Its been one of those weeks where you wonder if the world is trying to spite you. 12 hours of typing up data was enough to start off my week in a bit of a huff, followed by a cancelled lecture… I was not a happy bunny. After a not so great presentation, a stressful driving lesson, software not working and probably another 15 things iv tried to forget, I am back here again a week later. Everything has been more difficult than it should have been and its left me feeling all together quite annoyed. So sitting down to write this is making me feel a little better… even though the clocks have changed and its now dark at 5…..why. Enough of that rant. Good things have happened! I went out on Friday night with my friends and stayed over the night. It was really good to let my hair down and relax for a day after such a hard week. Also I carved this loooovely pumpkin. Look how cu...
