Remember when you were younger and those who seemed older and wiser around you would say "If everyone else jumped off a bridge, or if 'so-&-so' jumped off a bridge, would you do it to?”. Normally we were being told this because they were trying to stop us from doing something stupid. There is a great message behind this simple phrase though - just because everyone is doing something doesn't mean you should or that you have to, you should think for yourself and do what you want rather than following the crowd. It's message of being true to yourself and true to your dreams.
However as we grow up, that message seems to get flipped on its head. Suddenly we are being told we have to meet all these expectations and conform to all these standards. We're being told, 'this is what everyone else is doing, so this is what is right and therefore this is what you must do'. It's like they are now telling us jumping off that bridge with everyone is exactly what we should do.
Why is it okay to do what we think is right when we are younger, but not okay when we grow up?
In almost all aspects of society and our lives, we are not really taught to question to the norm, rather we should accept it and go with it.
Remember when you were younger and every time your parents explained something to you, you would consistently reply back with 'why?' Sure it may have been downright annoying to your parents, but really that is a beautiful kind of mindset - where did we lose it along with the way? Why did it change as our age number increased?
If you're being confronted by something, something where there is a predetermined path which most people take and you're considering following that same path, ask yourself why? If the only reason you can come up with is because everyone else is doing it, then my friend you're just about to jump off that bridge with no real good reason - you are doing exactly what you were told not to when you were younger.
So don't jump; don't do what everyone else is doing if that doesn't sit comfortably with you, if that's not what you want to do.
Every single one of us is different and unique, it's one of the amazing things about being a human being. We might have been taught that being different and not jumping because everyone else does is weird or wrong, but the reality is actually jumping is weird and wrong. Always stay true to who you are and what you want to do with your life - and whenever you're facing doubt about taking your own path just remember, would you jump just because they are?

Next time you’re
trying to decide which of the many cafes in Newcastle to visit and have a catch
up with friends, if you’re looking for something cool, fun, quirky, vintage and
affordable, Suspension Espresso is the place for you.
Located on the end corner of Beaumont Street, on what once would have
been called ‘the wrong side of the train tracks’, it may just look like a
small, grungy coffee shop from the outside. However, once you step inside you
notice there is a lot more to this place. Not only does it serve up some
brilliant beverages (definitely check out the iced coffee), it is a community
hub.
Whether you choose to relax on the lounges inside and view the latest
exhibition of local art on the walls, which you can also purchase if a piece
particularly takes your fancy, or decide to sit out the back and bask in the
sun, that atmosphere of energy, enthusiasm and passion exuded by owner, Chris
Johnson, will follow you.
Always filled with
people and the smell of high quality roasted coffee, not only can you buy treats to enjoy in store, you can also
purchase some of those beautifully roasted beans to take the Suspension
Espresso experience home with you.
Where did the name
come from?
The guy who started it, who still roasts our coffee, there’s
about four different stories to how he got the name. One of the stories was
that he was driving across the Sahara in an old Peugeot 504 and they heard a
noise and they found a cat up in the suspension, it was still alive, and so
they called it suspension. It’s one of the four or five stories.
What is the
essence/vibe you want people to feel when they walk into Suspension?
You know what, everybody is welcome at Suspension, and we
get everybody. It use to be quite a dodgy area around Islington, so we use to
get the prostitutes, to like literally brain surgeons, and everybody in
between, and everybody would mix beautifully, and they’d sit next to each other
and they’d chat, and it was a really organic place in that respect. So we try
to maintain that. We’re very much a community based café and very proud to be
Isso!
How did you get into
the café business?
Same as a lot of people I think. I just had a job in school and through Uni
and then travelling. I did a lot of travelling and tried a lot of things and then
just kept coming back to it. I love it, I’ve been doing it for a long time now,
and I’ve got this place, I’ve got Good Brother and The Edwards. So it’s fresh
and it’s nice having different places because you never get bored. But it’s a
great industry, it really is, and I absolutely love my job.
Where is your
favourite place to have coffee that isn’t inside a café?
There’s nothing better then my Atomic when I’m camping. So
we put the Atomic on the fire, and we have these beautiful, little Italian
espresso enamel cups and it’s the best, such a treat. So that’s my ultimate
coffee outside of Suspension.
What are your hopes
and dreams for Suspension in the future?
It’s kind of nice that it doesn’t change to much. I think
we’d like it to be this little institution that people can become affiliated
with and be very comfortable with. So you know what, if it’s the same in a few
years time, I’d be ok with that

Who doesn't love candy. Who doesn't love it even more when it's produced in your home country.
The people from The Australian Sweet Co were kind enough to send me over some of their Salted Caramel Peanut Brittle, as well as the chocolate covered version, to try out. Made in Melbourne, this company handcrafts their sweets with locally sourced ingredients, and, something which gives them a big thumbs up in my books, is that all their products are gluten free! Not only can you browse their range of sweets, if you have some special event or occasion coming up, you can make custom orders.
Obviously it goes without saying. this stuff has a very strong peanut flavour, even when it's covered in chocolate, so if you're not a peanut fan this is definitely not for you. I do love peanuts myself but it seems I've discovered my limit. While I could enjoy one of the chocolate covered ones, straight peanut brittle just isn't fun for my tastes buds. However that is just my personal taste preferences, but that does not diminish the amazing quality of this product.
If you're not a peanut fan, never fear, because this company produces a range of other sweets, and there is sure to be something to satisfy your candy needs.
