Using simple art practices to quite you mind

When my partner and I started FUSE Magazine, it was really just another extension of our creative journey together.  Although fun, running a magazine can also be challenging and stressful at times, and, like all things work, that stress can have adverse effects on wellbeing and happiness. Like many others, I sometimes struggle to live in this world, but I’m also incredibly fortunate to have my own personal antidote. I love playing with mud.

Can I survive a long distance relationship?

Dear Long Distance Blues, Long distance is one of the hardest relationships to maintain. You have to be really clear on the boundaries and what is going to work for both of you, and I have done a few of these!  It really depends on what you are prepared to do to be with this girl. You could try the commute thing where you are both visiting each other alternatively, or if you are in a position to move to where she is that is also a good option.
