Angels walk this earth

 I've been an atheist ever since discovering the term online back in 1998. My brain cancer journey was especially challenging because religion is so normalised in society I was inundated with prayer and spiritual advice. I felt very disrespected by this outpouring of support, I had long believed my dislike of religion wasnotorious. I also felt it was predatory and an ttempted to capitalise on my vulnerability due to my serious health condition.


I do not have god in my heart.I've got a song in mine. I had a few difficult moments in my life and I've always found that no matter where you are, you can trust in your fellow man for help. Sometimes that's as simple as finding someone to talk to when you feel alone. Cynicism is a plague andit's very hisheartening to me that oftentimes it's religious people who have the least faith in humanity. Just because I don't believe in god doesn't mean I don't believe in good. I acknowledge while it can be beneficial to be selfish, I've found most people are generous, being altruistic is something I think everyone gets pleasure from, I've got an abundance mindset so while most of the world is zero sum, a Leonard Nemoy quote I love is, "The more we share, the more we have." Humans are a social animal, we cannot survive without one another. Angels aren't in heaven, they're right here with us, do reserve some caution though, here be dragons too.

Some of the angels of healthcare I encountered last year: Joseph,Sy, Perero and an especially kind nurse by the name of Joyce Radebe

the perfect steak ala Stallone

I love fish the most especially mackerel but browned beef is another flavour powerhouse. This method works for any cut of steak but my favourite is picanha also known as rump cap which usually has a nice layer of fat you can crispen while cooking.because it’s rump I find picanhahas a lovely beefy flavour however fillet iis most tender and almost melts in the mouth however it must have a sauce to pair it because I find it doesn’t have much flavour by itself. If you’re trying steak for the first time I’d recommend a fillet with a pepper or garlic sauce for a good time prep simply involves taking the steak out of the fridge to get to room temperature before salting generously with flaky sea salt, any salt will work but i love sea salt.and allowing to stand for at least an hour before going onto your grill or pan, this step is most important and is a lessonfrom heston blumenthal and it serves the dual purpose of seasoning and tenderising. coat the steak with oil(optional but i find it help...

2 movies without cannabis

 *A Today, I'm feeling an overwhelming sense of pride and accomplishment. It may seem like a small feat to some, but for me, it's a monumental milestone in my journey towards recovery. I watched not one, but two movies from start to finish without resorting to smoking cannabis. This may not sound like a big deal to those who don't struggle with addiction, but for me, it's a testament to my growing strength and determination. For years, I've struggled with cannabis addiction. It's a habit that's been hard to shake, and one that's often left me feeling trapped and helpless. But today, I proved to myself that I'm capable of overcoming it. I chose two movies, settled in, and watched them from start to finish without once giving in to the urge to smoke. It wasn't easy, of course. There were moments when the cravings kicked in, and I had to fight the urge to reach for my usual coping mechanism. But I persisted, drawing on the coping strategies I've...
