Culling the Clutter to Happiness
On October 30, 2017 by White Scarf PerspectiveWhen I was reflecting on the times of my life that I have felt the most at peace with myself, the times I was truly and wholeheartedly happy, I realised that more often than not these were times I was living out of a suitcase. At first I believed this to be solely because I was overseas and it was the experiences I was having, the country I was in and the people I was with. It wasn’t until not long ago that I realised there was more to it than that…

Life’s Small Moments Like These
On October 25, 2017 by White Scarf PerspectiveIt’s astounding that for first nineteen years of my life I was so consumed with the belief that simultaneously the best days are both behind and ahead of me. Our whole lives we’re withstood from milestones bound by the concept of time. And yet society constantly reinforces the fact that our younger days are ‘the best days of our life’. So which of these is actually true?

22 Things I’ve Learned By 22
On October 9, 2017 by White Scarf Perspective
1. Taking care of your body and mind are both equally as important. Do not take for granted the one vessel to experience this incredible thing called life.
2. You are able to cope and move on from things far worse than you ever believe you could, just trust in the process. Keep on keeping on.
3. Quality over quantity for everything!
4. Trust and communication are THE two most important components of MY relationships. Focus on these two things and the rest will work itself.
5. EVERYTHING IS TEMPORARY! People and emotions come into your life long enough for you to experience the necessary lesson then leave again. Everything passes both the pain and immense pleasure. Use it as incentive to make the most out of each experience.

Letter To My Present Self: My Guide to Early Twenties.
On October 3, 2017 by White Scarf PerspectiveThis week I approach my 22nd birthday, another year older and most definitely wiser. You know those years that are filled with consistent highs and pure happiness? Yeah well this year has definitely not been that for me at all! Quite the contrary. But with struggle comes ample growth so I am appreciative.
So here is a letter to my present self, advice about the things to focus on in such a significant part of my life.
Dear Kaitlyn, or at this stage Kaity/Darling…
Right now you are in arguably one of the most lost stages of life, so remember that you are able to deal with circumstances far worse than you ever believe you can. Know that your lowest of lows result in an even higher high. Remember not to compare pain because pain is not relative to circumstance, pain is relative to experience. Your ability to cope with situations is relative to the experiences that have equipped you to deal with them. Forgiveness is strength not weakness and is a lesson that you’re going to learn in order to free yourself.
