Welcome to Weraldiz

Hello, Shea here. Welcome to my new blog, Weraldiz!

I don't like writing these introductions, they always seem a bit pretentious to me. Unfortunately I've written many of them over the years, too. I've done this, on and off for years but I think my main reason for stopping so often, was because I always got burnt out.

Most of the time the blogs I've written have been serious and heavy going. Writing about the way world leaders seem to willingly bring on decline and bring this world into a precarious situation with every passing day. But riling myself up with the day to day rubbish that's repeated ad nauseum on social media is exhausting. Truth be told, half of the things going on are usually taken way out of context by the media and by the ridiculous left-right paradigm anyway.

Sometimes my blogs were satirical and actively made fun of the world and the state of it. Whilst this makes you feel better in the short term, this embracement of nihilism is worse for your soul than being angry. Anger, whilst not always productive in the right ways, at least gives fuel for the desire for change. Nihilism, not so much.

So where does it leave this new blog, Weraldiz?

I've become way less interested in writing about problems. Everyone knows we have enough of those. It is solutions that seem to be in short supply. So in a nutshell that's what I shall be writing about.

Really, it's about dwelling on positive news and information which can be used proactively to inform or change the world for the better. I'm convinced that a better world for everyone is possible, it just takes an informed public who are aware of actionable solutions, rather than just being told about a never ending list of issues.

Aside from that, this is also a personal blog, and I'll be sharing photography and fiction here, too as and when.
