Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

  • Parc Guell Revisited

    I did a post on Parc Guell a while back when I visited Barcelona for the first time. This time around a friend and I went to take pictures, because he had just bought himself a new camera, and I’m glad to have friends who are also into photography. We missed out the section you have to…

  • Novels to make you think

    Being tied up with university and far too many deadlines has meant my reading for pleasure is on hold for the moment. I miss it. I got so many books for Christmas, and had to leave them all behind *sob*. But I was reflecting on novels I have already read. Novels that stay with you…

  • A Personal 2016 in Review

    Let’s not talk about 2016 in the general sense. I think most agree that 2016 was a disaster of a year in terms of politics and celebrity deaths (and lets not forget the horrors of Syria and refugees that are not close to being resolved). I’m going to talk about my own 2016. Specifically the…

  • Little Things I Miss About Britain…

    I love living in Spain, I love the culture, the lifestyle, and that I feel like it’s made me a warmer person (ish…) But I also am very stereotypically British, and no matter how amazing our adopted country is, there are always some little things that can make you homesick… I wrote a similar post about a…

  • You’re not a Jane Austen character, you can be happy single

    I like to think that I’m not overly cynical about relationships, they’re worth it when they’re good. It warms my heart seeing my friends in love and happy. But when some people like to hop from one to another, to me that seems to take away the meaningfulness of each relationship. Those people seem to be…

  • Fira de Santa Lucia

    Me encanta Navidad!! Christmas is the best, I love the decorations, the festive atmosphere, the excuse to warm up with mulled wine, and how everything seems a lot more cheerful (dreading the cold days of January and February without the festivities to keep me in a good mood…) And one of the best things about…

  • Navidad

    It really is the most wonderful time of the year… Although it means things are colder, darker, and as a masters student I have lots of deadlines that I may/may not currently be procrastinating from, the festive spirit that sweeps through cities helps us all get through any holiday stress. And one of the best parts…

  • Life with Lupus (as told by pictures off the internet)

    I decided to write a Buzzfeed style article about having lupus. They are pretty great at creating funny but insightful posts about living with different illnesses, both physical and mental. They’ve covered chronic illnesses a lot, and it’s great being able to see people sharing the same pains also able to share the same humour.…

  • Easy, Healthy Meals

    Everybody wants to eat healthier – it makes you feel much more alert, proactive, and generally better both physically and mentally. And when you have a chronic illness, such as lupus, eating healthy is more important than ever. You need protein, iron, vitamins, omega 3, everything basically that isn’t high in salt, sugar, or fat.…

  • A little inspiration from Maya Angelou…

    I was reading a lupus warrior’s blog (Luck Fupus), and in a post she talks about a tattoo she has that helps her overcome all struggles, including those caused by the unrelenting lupus. It’s a quote by one of my favourite poets and women, Maya Angelou: I decided to find an image of the quote…
