What even is Superannuation?

Every month or so, I would get a letter from my superfund. I would think to myself: This looks important, I’ll have to sort it out… one day. This went on for quite some time until I had a fairly large pile of letters. Letters I’d skimmed and sworn to figure out at some later date.

Songs that bring me joy

Neon lights reading, "you are what you listen to", against brick wall

For me and many other people, music is one the things that brings joy. It is scientifically proven that music can help to ease pain, reduce stress, elevate moods and many other things that can better us physically and emotionally. I have constructed a BIG list of songs that bring me joy. It’s a real mix of old and new, alternative, R&B, hip hop, rock and roll songs I can’t help but smile to, feel that feeling of happiness in my stomach, and ones that give me hope. I hope they bring you joy as much as they do for me.

It's not all glitz and glamour in Hollywood baby! (part 1)

Hollywood sign

Whether we realise it or not, films affect us deeply… They make us laugh, they make us cry, they make us think about life, and therefore the actors who play our favourite characters impact us greatly and we want to be like them. But it’s not all glitz and glamour in Hollywood... Throughout the years, the film industry lost many phenomenal and irreplaceable beings and characters, furthermore I will not only give tribute to some of the amazing actors we’ve lost and ones that still struggle, but also demonstrate an example on how easy it is for people with mental health issues to hide it and for others to miss it completely.
