If You Like TedTalks and Cozy Reads, You'll Love these Blogs
No doubt, we live for brilliant stories.
Stories that offers us fresh eyes and challenges our current perspectives.
Stories that blankets us, taking form in lyrical language that effortlessly glides through our inner senses.
Stories that we're able to connect to and hold in our hearts.
It's the kind that TedTalks would feed us with, the kind that makes a certain novel worth to dive in to again and again.
Luckily, in the midst of all the noise and fuss, I've came across different kinds of amazing, easy-to-read blogs that present human stories with all those elements.
They've became my daily/weekly reads, and hopefully they'll become yours as well:
1. Elephant Journal
They have a bulk of articles, written by thousands of people (read mine here, tee-hee) around the world with their own lives, experiences, minds, and lyrical language anyone can easily enjoy and connect with. They focus on the mindful life (yes, meaning plenty of Yoga, Meditation and Green Living articles too) and sharing everyday wisdom found gleaming within every human experience. I seriously take their articles as vitamins for the soul, as there's always something I can take away from each of them, no matter how irrelevant they are with my own experiences.
2. Brain Pickings
This blog is a library of its own—the kind I could lost myself in for an entire day. It's filled with brilliant articles that cross-pollinate science, philosophy, design, literature, history, anthropology, and more, with the means to explore our inner selves, to guide us on living better, and enrich the way we view the world. I also consider this blog as a reference for amazing books, as most of the topics are analysis of famous sayings and fragments of a literary books.
3. AnOther Magazine
I take them as more than just a high-class online fashion magazine. Their articles have delicate touches of literature and philosophy, focuses on the story behind the aesthetics and journeys the reader into the artist's mind. They truly heightened my appreciation towards the arts and what it means to be an artist (in the fashion, beauty, and visual arts industry).
4. Technology of the Heart
A blog that takes the readers deep into the spiritual world. What I love most about it is its inclusiveness—you don't have to be "religious" to connect with their articles. Though it centers around Islamic Sufism, it contains universal and digestible articles about our relationship with The Divine, highly necessary for us to learn more about in this superficial, materialistic and dogmatic era.
5. Narrative.ly
This is one of my most recent finds and least explored, yet it's easy to tell from their article titles that interesting, mind-refreshing and boldly told human stories are what they're all about. This one is more of a journalistic platform, but they too have memoirs and stories spanning on identities that I think we should talk more about.
