Being privileged

Date 19 October 2012
Author Ilana Estelle
We were privileged if our parents could afford to buy us new clothes, but the world isn’t privileged. Children aren’t always given new clothes to wear or toys to play with, and therefore sometimes have to wear second-hand or jumble sale clothes and use other children’s toys. As a child,…

I can't think today

Date 16 October 2012
Author Ilana Estelle
I can’t think today. I woke up last night with the same feeling in the pit of my stomach that something wasn’t right, the feeling that comes and goes and today I found out why. I just want one day that doesn’t seem such a challenge, one day where things…

Our ability to care

Date 15 October 2012
Author Ilana Estelle
Ever since I was a small child, I have had people in my life who unconsciously cared, but consciously didn’t know how to care. I also think given the current climate, this is how the world seems to work. Some of us may go so far as to change a…

Old thoughts new experiences

Date 12 October 2012
Author Ilana Estelle

Life's complications

Date 10 October 2012
Author Ilana Estelle
I personally don’t believe life is complicated, I believe we make life more complicated than it has to be. We literally complicate our lives instead of simplifying what we do or choose to have in it. We complicate matters further by making our issues and problems worse than they really…

Moving beyond denial

Date 9 October 2012
Author Ilana Estelle
With so many people around me and who are in denial, they have taught me a different way to be. Funnily enough, my life tends to work that way. The problem is that when we’re around those who are unable to accept an issue or situation and instead choose denial,…

Date 1 October 2012
Author Ilana Estelle
It has always been a strong belief of mine that people without knowing they’re subconsciously doing it, show us how not to do things, how to change things and to do things better. In a way it’s good, but in another way it’s not, particularly if we’re making changes for…
