Cocaine & Caviar Noun: Addiction is a brain disorder characterized by compulsive engagement in rewarding stimuli, despite adverse consequences. I found this video below that basically reiterates all my beliefs on addiction, so I said I'd just post it but then I started spouting on as I always do. I'm definitely not well-enough versed in addiction to be going in to too much depth. Anyway, this short post & video are more so aimed at narrow-minded people that don’t understand addiction and also at the people that don’t realise they’re addicted to something, which includes their phones. Recovering addicts, you...

It April 28, 2017 | It is the loneliness I feel no matter how many people I surround myself with.  It is the attention I constantly seem to yearn for or need. It is the sadness I feel for what I feel like no reason. It is the emptiness yet the unmerciful amount of thoughts that rattle around my head all the time. It is not being able to categorize those thoughts. It is the putting myself down over and over as I don't feel worth. It.  It is the crazy energy I get at the end of a day....

The Numbness Grainne Duffy April 5, 2017 Upon reading a previous blog of ours referencing The Black Dog, we received a private message on MySpace from Gráinne, a certified OG who is the backbone of some our photography shoots.   Anyway, she sent some of her photos she had made to portray the insentient beings we become when there's a Black Dog at the door, We think these photos will speak to many people that have been trapped/numbed. So here's Gráinne's statement, and photos of course:   The Numbness     Trapped with no escape and being bound.

Bully January 2, 2017 I cant really remember the day I first found myself in a position where I felt like this big world would be better off without me but when it came, it took up a permanent place in my mind. When I was 17/18 it (depression) got to its worst and no matter where I was or what I was doing, it would just consume my every thought and even at the happiest times, even when I was having a laugh or looking like I couldn't possibly have a care in the world, I would be biting my lip to...

How can we fight an issue we don’t know enough about? I don’t know, but I think we can use similar tactics humans have used for thousands of years to solve these challenges. Support and sharing of information. When we lived...
