Advice

How to use AI responsibly
Are you shocked by the number of ChatGPT generated articles that are appearing on Vocal and other platforms? You know the ones I am talking about. Cliché-ridden turgid tosh with six or seven subtitles and a conclusion. You learn nothing reading it, it does nothing for the creator's reputation, and it's about as entertaining as watching paint dry.

I can't remember the first piece I ever wrote. I expect it was a Christmas story involving elves and a lot of "And then"s to link my ideas. I expect I was at school and it was a task set. I really don't know.

The power of positivity
It is impossible to overstate the value of positivity in a world that frequently seems to be ruled by negativity. It is a force with the capacity to change people's lives, boost their spirits, and spread joy. Positivity is a way of life and a philosophy that can result in significant change rather than just making you smile all the time.

A Funny Idea I had Recently
So I have read a fair few hundred books in my time, thousands, millions, every book written so I think I am the most valuable source of information on good and terrible books. No, I’m just kidding. But I do love to sit and read a book with a cup of coffee every now and then. So I have read loads of books and I have furtherly enjoyed some more than others. But that is how it goes for the general reader, you have your favourite genres, writers and tropes. For me…personally… It's a dystopian future book that has my heart, or a fantasy world where you need to go on a dangerous adventure to save the world, anything with magic that makes me so absorbed in the book I feel like the main character and if I’m feeling frisky you can’t go wrong with a spicy enemies to lovers romance trope.

In a world where social pressures and the fear of disappointing others often loom large, asserting one's right to say "no" can be a formidable act of self-empowerment and boundary-setting. The phrase "no" holds the power to shape our relationships, our choices, and our overall well-being. It's a simple word, yet its significance extends far beyond its brevity. Recognizing and respecting the right to decline offers, requests, or demands is an essential aspect of maintaining our autonomy and mental health.
