The Age Of The Times and Technology



Many many years ago you could get away with a lot. Crime was at a peak in England during the Victorian era due to the fact of wealth. The great division of people, rich and poor. But many were stealing to feed themselves or keep a roof over their heads and the basic necessities.


Still doesn't give people the right to take things that are not theirs.


But today society isn't that forgiving, but what is the issue?


Now it's technology and the use of it. It's what people do and use it to call people out on it. 


Recently a man was caught at a concert with his arms around another woman, not his wife! What many are saying that, if they just acted differently it wouldn't have mattered? The irony of the statement in itself is that people think they know how other people react to things.


What I can't get my head around is everyone is in this joyous understanding of someone being taken down as they are rich and it's about privilege.


But these people forgot about one thing. While all these people are celebrating the facts of a man and woman getting found out for cheating.


But you are also celebrating the fact a woman has just found out she has been cheated on. The fact that I can talk from experience.


Finding out you are not their person anymore is heartbreaking, soul crushing. It's like someone got your heart that is made from glass and shattered it. 


The only problem is you can't find the pieces to put it back together. It's not like the pieces are in one room but all over the world and not able to find them. It can take several months or years to make it whole again. Sometimes never!


Then some people are scared to try to have another relationship because of someone hurting them all over again!


Hear On Evil, Speak No Evil, See No Evil.


The problem I have as a Writer, I watch, I listen, and learn from the things you say, the way you speak and act.


It's like that show called Lie To Me, a show about how to use applied psychology on how people use micro expressions to detect if they're lying.


But this wasn't about an affair, it's about getting caught!

 

So yes, celebrate the things of people doing bad things. So does this mean we can celebrate the bad things you do or your family.



The Double Edged Sword


People use the Internet and social media to be the first to spread gossip and misinformation to get likes and to make money on other people's misery easily and quickly.


This isn’t about people this is about using people for being human and sometimes doing appalling things.


But always remember there is another side to the story. A story of love, loss and deception. A family turned into turmoil because it wasn't just them finding out but the whole world. Then ask yourself what if that was me?

The Start Of Fall

As the leaves change colour and start to cover ground like a blanket. The feeling of cooler and shorter days.


This is the earth telling us it's time to stay indoors and bring changes our lifes. 

Moving the furniture, rearranging your nik naks around your home bringng the outside in. Let the rain come while you are safe and cosy inside.




It's time for baking and homemaking. Fixing things you put off, making crafts and writing new ideas and dreams.


Life is anything but boring! You just have to find the magic.


Open windows when you can, light a candle and make a wish. Ask blessings in all you do. 


Now your place is set, all you have to do is cuddle up and make a brew. Now sit down and remiss of the time that you will miss.

Being A Writer Is Like?




Being a writer is like using all the tools in a tool box. You are in the CIA research and analysis, in the FBI read their body language and weird behaviour. A homicide detective: You need to read the room and pay close attention to small details.


Oh and just one more thing! Please read the quote and understand you have the right to be silent as actions can and will be used against you! I eat, sleep and dream about this shit! So try me, wise guy!




Admit defeat And Move On





Sometimes you have to do things for yourself and sometimes admit defeat and move on. I was on substack but it takes a while to get people to follow and I like people being able to read my content for free. After doing some research, I found that if you don't have a paid subscription on substack your posts don't get noticed as much. So Here I am back where I started and should have been. My content varies as I want to write about different things. A blog post about my writing, decorating and money.


I think it's because when I write on my blog I'm writing for my own enjoyment, instead of worrying about whether the content I'm writing is suitable for certain platforms. I deactivated my Bluesky. I just don't get the same enjoyment as I did on twitter. Don't know what it is but change is good.


Been writing a new police drama and I think this one is what I need to keep myself on track.


It's an easier story to write. My other ones are complex and have many different characters. I have to world build 2 of them.


Can't believe it's July! Got to start Christmas shopping and doing some stuff around the house as I might have my operation soon. I want to post what I'm doing like decorating and sorting out my planners.


So when you feel down and something isn't sitting right. Change it! Change is good for the soul. It will push our limits and make us walk a different path and that's ok.


Keep going but sometimes things just need to be dusted off and moved around for a whole new perspective.
