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.

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.

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.

Working with Letters to Corey

I've officially reached a blogging milestone. I have written a piece for another blog. It's been a little while since I discovered the incredible platform that is Letters to Corey, so when I received an email from them you can guess my reaction. I was beaming and got my fingers typing immediately. It was pretty special.

Your tinted glasses of perception

After undergoing editing, I wanted to post it here because I believe in its message and it's a rather swell piece of writing. You own a pair of glasses. They sit on the bridge of your nose, every minute of every day. These glasses are special; you can’t take them off or give them to anyone else, you probably can't even tell they're there. These are the tinted glasses that only you can view the world through, which is part of the reason why they’re so special. Everything you do or see, every thought or encounter you have slightly alters the tint to your glasses of perception. I heard this metaphor a couple of years ago and I’ve held onto it tightly ever since. It simply describes how unique our perception of ourselves and the world are, yet I found it quite powerful. We all have unique perceptions as the result of our one-of-a-kind life experiences. These metaphorical glasses are the ...
