I've been reading more and more about the importance of play in people's adult lives - how it helps you handle difficult situations, move past barriers, brings a sense of fun into your life and acts as a vehicle to get creativity moving. So I was reading this stuff and thought great! This sounds goo...

This is something I have never understood. Maybe you can explain it to me, because I never understand why money is hated. If a barber/hairy stylist loved your work and said they would really appreciate putting some up in their shop and asked if they could trade you a years worth of free styling for...

Hey Richard! I wrote a nice response to this the other day but my computer died so I lost it. I think you hit the nail on the head there - it's the responsible grownup needing a job and the inner child just wanting to have fun really isn't it. I've always had an odd relationship with money - I absol...

Hey KeDon I'm a graphic designer too, and have also experienced a woman a bit like the one you're describing. She was constantly patronising and talking down to me like I was below her. I was a designer and she was a project manager - technically we were on the same level but she seemed to think she...

I know that we have posters from all over the world here so I thought it would be really interesting to see what you guys think of this and how this workplace culture differs from your own. I'm in the UK. There's an increasing thing happening over here - particularly among companies that like to thi...

Hi all, Would appreciate getting some external perspectives on something I'm dealing with at the moment. Backstory: I used to be an artist - I loved it, I was creating constantly - I wouldn't leave the house without a sketchbook. I met a guy we moved in together, he encouraged me to get a 'real' job...

Firstly, I am truly sorry that all those things have happened to you. I know that nothing I could possibly say would make it any better, but I agree with Richard that your future isn't written and you have a choice to make things better for yourself, and to walk away from situations that are bad. It...

You're doing a great job, you know it is not personal, and you are getting great training in patience. You are inspirational :) Agreed! I'm not sure I could handle your situation without having a breakdown - you are doing an amazing job of handling an extremely difficult, unpleasant and painful sit...

Your reply has meant so much! Really, I don't know anyone who has carved their own path and lived life by their own rules rather than following conventions - everyone around me without exception has told me that my dream of having a smallholding and living simply is totally unrealistic 'it's just no...

One of the primary reasons I'd really love to become self-sufficient is because I can earn my food and the clothes on my back in a way that feels a lot more natural and a lot more rewarding and meaningful than going and doing a traditional 9-5 to earn money purely to fit in with the way society has ...

Hmm... well if they're priorities that are created out of avoidance that doesn't really help either of us lol Your way is a much better way to do it I think. There's a saying for your way of thinking isn't there - 'eat the frog'? I suppose it's human nature to avoid the unpleasant, but if it's done ...

@Richard Oh wow! that's amazing!! It must feel incredible to know you can just take off and go wherever and you don't have a whole heap of 'yeah, but's and an equal amount of 'where would i keep...x's. No 'stuff' weighing you down and holding you back from Life's adventure! Is there anything you mis...

So basically this is just a power struggle for you. Hardly the basis of any form of relationship either friendly or otherwise. You are trying to manipulate her, you think that somehow she is a plaything for you to push and pull with your messages and you stalk her on social media... this is not heal...

Ok. Speaking as a woman who has used tinder: You match with a guy. One person says hi then the other person says something. The conversation may or may not keep going. You use the first 24-48 hours to figure out if you think it's worth spending your time and money meeting up. If you decide yes you a...

Why do I always go out of my way to avoid doing important things? From paying bills to getting my deposit from a rental flat back - I know logically that the longer I leave it the worse/more difficult it will get but for some reason I go out of my way to avoid doing it by finding other 'important' t...
