Miller And Me

Hi, I'm Miller, aspiring blogger, avid lover of music and passionate reader. I'd officially class this blog under lifestyle and mental health among other things. This blog is a collection of my thoughts. A place to talk, listen and be heard. I'd love to hear from you, to create conversation and community.

What Tumblr has taught me

I consider myself an avid Tumblr user. I spend A LOT of my time scrolling through the depths of Tumblr. For those of you who don't know what Tumblr is, it's basically a blogging site, but you don't really blog as such... you re-blog stuff, which is basically forwarding a post on someone else's blog onto yours. It's among the most frequently visited of my social media platforms. Tumblr has taught many things. It has taught me that it doesn't take much to keep me entertained. I have attained the ability to mindlessly scroll through Tumblr for many hours at a time. There's just something so entertaining about gazing at the endless re-blogs on my dashboard. It has taught me how strange the internet and its inhabitants have the capacity to be. There is some weird stuff on the internet and much of it manages to seep its way into the realms of Tumblr. If you're following the wrong blogs you're in for a surprise. Luckily I have never had the misfortune ...

Last year in October I suffered a fall off a skateboard. Scans and assessments proved inconclusive. 6 weeks later, mid-November, I was diagnosed with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. This condition isn't common and it was a lonely feeling that no one understood.

2016; a retrospective look

I think we can all agree that 2016 was the epitome of a figurative roller coaster ride, except without many ups. Everyone had a general dislike for this year, quite fairly I would say. It's like no one has escaped 2016 unscathed. As we reach the end of the year, we tend to reflect. We celebrate our victories and mourn our losses. Before I start trying to organise my mess of a life, I want to reflect on my year. So, here is a retrospective look at my 2016.

Doin' it just because you want to

Have you ever felt an urge to do something, but suppressed it because you believed you couldn't? For years, I've wanted to cut my hair short, but I've never had the guts. I thought more carefully about what others might think before I considered how it would make me feel. Then with an air of spontaneity, I decided; why wait. Shia LeBeouf once said; " just do it ". Although simple, these three words are quite profound. If you want to do something, just do it. Don't wait, because the only person it will be detrimental to is yourself. I kept making excuses as to why I couldn't. "I'll wait until I'm better," I whispered to myself. I believed that just because I'm in a wheelchair, I couldn't. I'd look even more different than I already do and I didn't want to attract unwanted attention to myself. But then I thought, what good will it do for me to wait any longer? Why should I wait until I'm able and well again? I...
