Reclaimed

So it’s been a while. A really long while actually but I’m back and I’m hoping to keep this up this time around. Where have I been you may ask. Well I’ve been here, I’ve been around, I’ve been busy but not busy writing and that is a massive regret for me. 

Today I was on a People Management course for work and as part of this course, I have to look at myself, be insightful, answer reflective questions, think about my purpose. During this time of self rediscovery, I remembered that writing is my passion. I say remembered, I never actually forgot but I’ve allowed the everyday to take over and I put my dreams and desires to the side. 

Realising this made me feel quite sad, I was so emotional I had to fight back the tears. Writing and becoming a writer use to be such a passion of mine, my fingers were always itching to grab hold of a pen or to start typing and write and write and write. 

It’s so easy to allow life to take over. We have to pay bills, we have to look after our families etc and whilst we’re busy getting on with the every day must-do’s, our dreams, our passions, our desires end up on the back burner. 

I realised today that I don’t want my dreams to be on the back burner anymore. I still have a strong desire to write and I will get one of my novels published one day. In the meantime though I’m going to pick up where I left off on this blog. Writing is my passion and blogging was my way of keeping that passion alive. I don’t ever want that fire to go out. So with all that being said...

...I’m reclaiming my passion. I’m reclaiming this page. I’m reclaiming Ayeshah Rose.

Double Standards!!!

Don't you just hate them?  Like, people say one thing, either about themselves or a certain situation but it's the total opposite for them, like it's not ok for you but it's all good for them.    The term double standard , coined in 1912, refers to any set of principles containing different provisions for one group of people than for another, typically without a good reason for having said difference.  A double standard may take the form of an instance in which certain concepts (often, for example, a word, phrase, social norm, or rule) are perceived as acceptable to be applied by one group of people, but are considered unacceptable or taboo when applied by another group . Taken from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_standard . I've recently been in a situation where a double standard was applied.  I didn't even realise it at first and the truth is we are all faced with double standards every day in our lives.  For example, people will s...

10 Reasons Why I Hate the Tube

My friends and family all know how much I hate travelling by tube in London. It is one of the hardest tasks in our day to day lives and one of the biggest tests you will ever face. If you can survive an entire tube journey with a smile on your face and not one negative thought about where you are and the people around you, then you deserve 3 gold medals. These are the 10 reasons I hate the tube (and there's probably more). 1. When the tube is packed and people tell you to move down. First of all where do you expect me to move to and second why should I move? I'm quite comfortable where I am. If you want to squeeze up in this teeny tiny space your more than welcome to come and try. 2. When you're sitting on one of those fold down chairs and somebody with a back pack or newspaper gets on and stands over you. Dude, why is your bag/newspaper in my face? Take it off and put it on the floor between your legs and stop reading because if this train jerks forward and you fall on me,...

JHUD (that's her twitter name)

Jennifer Hudson's weight loss has been the topic of many a discussion. Jen has gone from supersized (not that she was big in the first place) to superskinny. When I first saw the new trim Jen I remember thinking "wow Jennifer's lost so much weight" and not being sure whether or not I liked the new look. When I could see the beauty that is Jennifer still existed in her face, I decided ok, maybe she looks alright but now I think she's in danger of becoming a lollypop head; you know that syndrome when you lose too much weight and your extra skinny body has to hold up your rather large head (which hasn't lost any weight whatsoever). It seems to me that Jennifer has lost even more weight. Isn't there a point where you just say, "ok I look good let's just maintain this". People take diets too far. I'm all for doing what feels right for you. Jen wanted to lose weight and good for her, she's done it but at some point don't you have to...
