Furthermore, it wasn’t just any school girl, but one from my school, that was the icing on the cake, or at least it should have been. Because, at the same time that my fantasy was becoming reality, I felt that I was being very badly cheated. Why couldn’t it have been sixteen year old Heather Johnson or fifteen year old Pamela wade stripping before me, instead of the eight year old Ami Fujishiro?","author":"Andrew James Pritchard","tags":["cheated","deepest-darkest-fantasy","disapointed","disbelief","fantasy","icing-on-the-cake","school-girl","stripping"],"id":1292,"author_id":"Andrew+James+Pritchard"},{"text":"Artists shouldn't wait until they are told what their art should be, they shouldn't follow trends or allow other people to influence their work, an artist should only create from the strongest emotions within their heart.","author":"Andrew James Pritchard","tags":["being-a-writer","creativity","emotions","freedom-of-expression","trends","writing"],"id":3474,"author_id":"Andrew+James+Pritchard"},{"text":"-Let us celebrate the joy and sorrow, Sidip suddenly recited, -the wonder and mystery of all we see, so that we might live and learn as we were meant to. They say of stardust we are formed, that the ocean flows through our veins, and our thoughts are of quantum particles strung together by slender threads of charged ions. Therefore all things are connected, all things have spirit, you, me, the animals, plants, rocks, the oceans, planets, stars and the whole universe, these quantum particles are forming webs of awareness focusing at the centre where dwells the collective unconsciousness of all that has and ever will exist.","author":"Andrew James Pritchard","tags":["awareness","connections","life","universal-truths","wonderment"],"id":34064,"author_id":"Andrew+James+Pritchard"},{"text":"The ox was bad enough, Mina thought as she checked out the damage to her vegetables, yet now I have goats to torment me. However, if the goru was like the king, then the goats must be like the political parties, so maybe in the end her life won’t be so different after all? Yet she had to make sure that it would be different this time somehow, at least for Sidip’s sake, if for no other reason.","author":"Andrew James Pritchard","tags":["determination","personal-struggle","pollitics","slice-of-life"],"id":49738,"author_id":"Andrew+James+Pritchard"},{"text":"You see, unlearning is a very important process towards becoming enlightened, because in this life you will have learned wrong ways and those wrong ways that you have learned are barriers blocking you from becoming who you really are, therefore it is vital that they are unlearned.","author":"Andrew James Pritchard","tags":["enlightenment","learning","wisdom"],"id":105344,"author_id":"Andrew+James+Pritchard"},{"text":"I enjoy load shedding in Nepal, when it allows me to witness the dancing of fireflies in the next field, and at the same time to hear children playing a chanting clapping game because there is no TV to waste their time on.","author":"Andrew James Pritchard","tags":["childhood","children","load-shedding","meditation","nature-of-things","night-world"],"id":159259,"author_id":"Andrew+James+Pritchard"},{"text":"-The very absence of the freedom to criticise against your own or any other government is all the more a reason to loudly shout-out for democracy! If that is wrong, Drew boldly went on, -then I would rather be wrong then to be numbered among the majority of the so-called righteous people whose only mandate seems to be controlling people. If a government is against its people expressing themselves, then that government is obviously hiding something criminal from its people and the world, and it is therefore afraid of being exposed and losing whatever power it has.","author":"Andrew James Pritchard","tags":["government-corruption","individual-freedom","repression","society"],"id":181502,"author_id":"Andrew+James+Pritchard"},{"text":"Don't allow money to become the yardstick by which you measure the worth of the world around you!","author":"Andrew James Pritchard","tags":["life-philosophy","money"],"id":198302,"author_id":"Andrew+James+Pritchard"},{"text":"I know, at the time it was an imperfect solution in an imperfect world.","author":"Andrew James Pritchard","tags":["fate","imperfection","life-in-general","problems","solutions-to-your-problems"],"id":206277,"author_id":"Andrew+James+Pritchard"},{"text":"By travelling to all the corners of the globe it allows me to further define the ever changing world we live in, which in turn helps me to redefine myself, therefore it is an important process towards becoming a complete person.","author":"Andrew James Pritchard","tags":["adventure","finding-one-s-path","travel","travelers"],"id":226724,"author_id":"Andrew+James+Pritchard"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":24,"pages":3,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
