I Have Trust Issues

Some of the issues I experienced when I first came to England made me slow to trust some of my fellow students at art college. I joined a very small group of non-English artists. Gradually, the issues began to resolve themselves as I settled and I... See More »

I Am Irish

I'm from County Clare in the west, from a small village which happens to be a bishopric, but the bishop is also the Bishop of Rome. It's a nice town, but every one I knew has virtually left. I still have a home there, but I haven't been back in a... See More »

I Found This Site By Accident

I can't remember which search engine I used now, but I'm on google most of the time, and, well it seems pretty interesting so far.

I Believe In Karma

It's an interesting premise, because it means you're able to affect your own hopefulness. I guess that's what the Buddha meant by 'right thinking'. What goes around cones around, they also say, and do what you will but harm none....

I Absolutely Love Bookstores

With it being a university city Canterbury has some really captivating bookshops. I'm hoping when the guys get their debtors to pay them they might have some money for me, to buy some paints and maybe a book to read.

I am a New Member at Similar Worlds

I Hate Being Judged By People That Dont Even Know Me

I believe that their prejudices expose them to not have any charity to understand if we were all the same it would be a boring world.

I Love the Smell of Coffee While Its Brewing

I really think I'm in heaven when I step inside a coffeeshop. We have a Costa in Canterbury, and I live it in there!

I Can Be Friends With People Totally Different From Me

I'm Irish and catholic , and I live with three Serbs who are orthodox. I love my Serbian friends!

I Believe Everything Happens For a Reason

I Love the Way Music Makes Me Feel

I'm in a different world! A song is a conduit to another dimension where my emotions are fully engaged and I am transcended from a world of pain to one of consideration and poetry.

I Love To Travel Anywhere, Any Time

When I first came to England from my home in county Clare, Ireland I hitched my way mostly. I hitched to Shannon international, just over thirty miles from home. Then, from Stansted in Essex, I had to hitch to Canterbury, maybe a little over a... See More »

I Love to See Old Married Couples Hold Hands

In Canterbury cathedral yesterday there was an old couple holding hands looking at the memorials on the walls who were holding hands. I don't know if they were Americans, Dutch or Germans, but that's the nationalities of people I've seen before doing... See More »

I Am Inspired By Kind People

Kindness really is something to want to emulate, a social skill to achieve. If you are kind you have an innate nobility.

I Am a Sensitive Person

Things can overwhelm me at times, I'm sensitive to stimulae in a unique way. I guess most people can say this too, but I mean it in the sense I can actually shut down and need to rest to be able to process things. My Serbian friend Marko is a great... See More »

I Need to Exercise More

I admit I felt tired when I walked the mile or so up the road, fortunately a guy driving a brake down truck saw my hooked thumb and gave me a lift into the city. I really do need to exercise more, or at least wear shoes I can walk properly in! I am... See More »

I Love Hot Chocolate

So I'm in Canterbury having hitchhiked in, and riding in with a guy in a brake down truck, sitting in the café with a hot chocolate and floating marshmallows. Yum! I've got to go to the butchers to get some stewing steak for dinner later, and I'll... See More »

I Care About The Environment

I live on an old farm off Pett Bottom Road south of Canterbury, and we live as organically as we can. We burn all of our rubbish in the aga, including used toilet paper, and the ashes go on our vegetable patch and on the garden. It's a fair walk... See More »

I Like to Cook

I do most of the cooking here. I've got to go get some fresh stewing beef to add to our couscous and beans tonight.

I'll Try Anything Once

It's what the guys I live with like about me!

I Am Not Very Close With My Relatives

I have two sisters, two brothers in law, a nephew and two nieces, immediate family. And my Da. He lives in a home in Limerick where my sisters pay for his care. I've not seen any of them in four years. I live in England.
