Day Eleven - Is the world around us a mystery or...
I suppose this kinda relates to the Fate vs. Free Will argument.
Often I think that the world is a mystery - there’s so much we don’t know about and seems intangible, so it seems we’re not supposed to know anything more than a certain level of human capacity.
And then I think that science seems to know no boundaries, and it is intent on investigating every nook and cranny until...

Day 27 - The friendliest person you knew for only one day
Dear Ciaran,
There’s probably lots of people I could write to here but you were the first to pop into my mind. You were quiet when I was introduced to you, then a few drinks and BAM! Seriously, thought you were very friendly and I had a...

Day 26 — The last person you made a pinky promise...
Dear Aimee,
I can’t remember what it was about but you’re the only person I ever do pinky promise with.
It was probably about keeping a secret, so if it was my secret I hope you’ve kept it and not told your sister, because she’s the biggest blabbermouth in the history of the world.
If it was yours, I’m sure I’ve kept it, because you’re my best friend...

Day Ten - Is contraception destroying the purpose...
Thought this was relevant after my previous post..
—
This is often a difficult question to negotiate.
The main purpose of sex as everybody should know is to produce babies. Yes, it’s very nice for pleasure to, but to have a baby you generally have to go about having sexual intercourse (preferably with the same partner).
Contraception, of course denies this purpose…
However...

Day Nine - Is the increase in cohabitation...
Personally, despite being Catholic, I like the idea of cohabitation.
I think it enables individuals to ‘try before you buy’ - if I can put it in such a ridiculous way. Seriously though rushing into marriage because of social expectation or because you ‘love’ each other isn’t enough.
If you assume marriage is a lifelong affair (excuse the pun) then you should really...

My book Captured (Chapter 1)
Carl
I lay, subjugated on the cold, parapet flooring.
As I stared upwards towards the high open window, I felt a gust of wind blow past my face, chilling my skin. I touched my face instinctively, brushing my bearded chin. I need a shave, I thought.
The stars twinkled, silently in the sky, like sparkling eyes on a backdrop of deep sapphire, cheekily winking at...

Regarding Sociology….
In Britain the A Level system usually takes 2 years. (aged 16-18)
You usually take 3 main subjects across 2 years (I chose English Literature, History and Religious Studies).
The first year is called AS (Advanced Subsidiary) Level. I did an AS in each of the...

Do you know why I stay up til 4am?
Because I’m thinking about you.
I can’t get you out of my brain, you’re there trawling through my memories and thoughts. I want you to escape but you’re permanently embedded there.
I try to do things during the day which will occupy my thoughts, but they seem to lead back to you.
You’re quiet, and usually insensitive, but I think that’s a cover up.

Day 23 — The last person you kissed
Dear Matty,
I’m really glad that we haven’t let any of the arguments we’ve gone through get in the way of our friendship.
And that night I kissed you again was so nice. Because we both knew where we stood and it was just a friendship kiss, but it was quite passionate, and that’s what I liked about that night.
Then you came back to my house and we drank tea.
It was just...

Go to the library to do some history research (yes this is my actual town’s library)
Phone my work experience placement asking them if I can go back another day this week to finish off my mural.

Go for a walk with my gorgeous dog, Zach.

It’s easy to say that a foetus is just material - we can’t physically see a foetus cooing in front of us, with it’s feet and arms waving in the air, laughing and smiling and imitating our faces innocently as a baby does.
But the point is that’s what a foetus will being doing in just 9 months.
To me, a foetus is a preparational stage for the baby - the tiny human being -...

Day 22 — Someone you want to give a second chance...
Dear Adam,
We fell out, and I do miss you even though I show it in a ridiculous childish way.
I’m hoping you’re gradually forgiving me,
I’ve forgiven you. I always do.
I want to give a second chance to myself. To our weird, wonderful friendship.
I’m sorry,
Love Steph xx
Day Seven - Why is racism still an issue in the...
Most probably because old habits die hard, and there’s still people out there who think it’s unacceptable to welcome in people of a different culture or skin colour than themselves. They see it as strange and unknown, so they’re either scared or simply ignorant.

Dear ________,
When I saw you hobbling round I thought you were just getting on with age, and even though I knew it was cruel, I imitated you and people laughed when they saw me impersonating your hunched back and walking stick.
I regret that a lot now, because despite your illness and bodily deprivations, you are one of the most wise, philosophical people I have ever met, and attending classes...

Day Six - Are animals able to experience the same...
I suppose this is a vague question.
It’s evident that animals are able to experience feelings related to contentment, pain, fear, boredom and other emotions. (E.g cats purring and dogs wagging their tails are signs of contentment and so on). These are basic emotions which most animals and humans experience.
But about the debate as to whether or not animals can experience greater...

Day 20 — The one that broke your heart the hardest
Dear Friend,
Rejection was one of the worst feelings in the world. Sometimes it’s hard to differentiate between love and intense friendship but what I felt for you was more than anything I’ve ever felt for anyone before. I wanted to do anything for you - anything to make you see I wanted to be with you always, and never expected anything in return, I just wanted you there because you...

If anything is going to come of us I’d love for us to take...

Day 18 — The person that you wish you could be
Dear Me,
Don’t ever change yourself for anyone. Why should you wish to be someone else? You were born you, and no matter how cheesy or clichéd it sounds, you’re unique and you deserve to be your own person.
Wishing to be someone else your whole life makes you focus on being that and not living your life for the moment.
It could be over at any time and if you had the chance to look...

Day Five - Should women be allowed equality with...
I don’t see why not. For centuries women have been perceived as the sub-gender, and as the likes of Virginia Woolf have so eloquently stated, women are quite as capable of thinking, writing, acting and becoming just as profound as our male counterparts. As I’ve said in previous posts, I do not generally believe myself to be a feminist, but when the situation arises I will support...

Day Four - Who was the mastermind behind World War...
I think it can be fair to say that the German Reich was quite successful in the way power was dealt out and decisions were efficiently made. Hitler certainly didn’t have the patience to beat about the bush. That said, this in no way condones the atrocities committed during the decade or so they were in power.
It’s difficult to assess who was the true ‘mastermind’ behind...

Dear Tooth Fairy,
Why aren’t you real? :(
It’s not fair. I used to spend ages carefully writing letters to you, and making sure I went to sleep extra early so you could take my teeth back to your workshop and give my money as a present for helping you make fairy dust for your queen.
But when you stopped putting money under my pillow, and just throwing away my teeth into the bin...
