The thing I like most about my job, is that I don’t actually like my job at all.
Persuading people to buy shit that they probably don’t need isn’t an enjoyable activity for me, especially considering the fact that I disagree with mindless consumerism and believe that happiness is something found within oneself, not within the tangible. Many customers that request my assistance...

This body is the house that my soul lives in. I’m going to keep this house clean, so I’ll make sure that my diet is as pure as possible. I want to respect this house, so I’ll stay celibate until I am with somebody who is worth it. I am going to love this house, so I’ll keep my heart open and embrace myself with an attitude of utter acceptance.

Your Birthday Year Forecast (9th of August): With the Solar Return Moon just behind the Sun, this is a year in which you are itching to do something new, but you are perhaps unsure about what that “something” is! You are likely closing important projects or “chapters” in your life. If you normally lead an active life with initiating qualities, you may feel quite...

If you ever find yourself in a moment where you’re not happy with the way you look, I’d suggest that you take the time to think about your body on a deeper level. You are such an amazing creature! You consist of trillions of cells that are always communicating with each other without you even having to make a conscious effort! You breathe, pump blood, and regenerate – even while you’re sleeping!...

To accomplish in 2011:
Move out of home (PRIORITY NUMBER ONE!!!). Just because I need to get out. I want to own my own home by the time I turn 19 (people can criticise me for this, I don’t care. We’ll have to see where I’m at with this in eight months time).
Secure a job that I actually like (and that pays enough too). I currently work in a pharmacy and it’s my job to persuade people to buy as...

The thing I don’t like about modern medicine is that it only treats the symptoms of an illness, and rarely the cause. I also find that a lot of conventional treatment options are irrational. I mean, how can pumping synthetic chemicals and harmful levels of radiation into somebody’s body possibly be beneficial? Wouldn’t it make more sense to take the mental, emotional, spiritual, nutritional,...

Earth is a place of suffering when you look at it from a conventional view, and it can be difficult to maintain a sense of trust in the world when starvation, crime, and oppression plagues the lives of so many human beings.
However when you change your outlook and peer out at your surroundings with a transcendental perspective, everything becomes completely and utterly perfect in terms of the...

Drag yourself out of bed in the morning. Drink some water laced with fluoride. Wash your body with unnatural soap and shampoo products. Ingest some unhealthy chemicals with your breakfast. Brush your teeth with synthetic compounds and smear nano-particles onto your face in the form of make up. Don’t forget the artificial fragrances in your deodorant. Breathe polluted air on your way to work. Worry...

Anonymous asked: If you were going to die today, had only 3 minutes left to live and could make one phone call… who would you call, what would you say, & why are you waiting?
My answer: I believe that when a person dies it means that they’ve accomplished everything that they were put on this planet to do. To me, death is more like a… graduation from Earth; something to be celebrated, not...

There’s an elderly man who comes into my work every day and buys ten bottles of perfume, gift wraps them, and spends the rest of the day walking around and giving them to people who “look sad.” His wife passed away so he uses the money that he would have spent on her to buy presents for strangers. It’s the sweetest thing. I’ve been holding back tears all day....

Anonymous asked: It must be difficult to have to persist with so many people plagiarizing your work, however your blog inspires so many people. You words provide elegance and beauty to such a progressively dull world. You should not quit what I assume you love, just because there are those who wish to be able to express their creativity to the same level as yours.
