Monthly Blog July 2025. WHY DO I FEEL?
Why do I feel it’s a little project I started not so long ago? It’s a chance for me to use my voice, talent and also platform, to ask you all why and how do I feel all these emotions. So in this month’s blog, I thought I would talk about this briefly, so we all can get an understanding of this together.
Firstly, we are all humans and it’s in our nature to feel emotions, thoughts and everything else. It makes us who we are; on the other hand, without emotions, what’s our purpose? yes, I am saying there will be hard parts and moments when we need to feel emotions that we necessarily don’t want to feel, but these emotions are the most important because they help us become who we truly need to be to be the best versions our ourselves.
Secondly, this is a project that I started on my social pages (griffin.alex7). In my opinion, it’s the easiest and best way to connect with you all, so we can get an understanding together. My furthest dreams are to help the whole world connect and understand our emotions together, and I believe with little poetry sonnets/quotes we can all stop for a minute and think, why do I feel?
Finally, I know before you ask this is a short blog, and that is because I want you all to come and connect with me on my socials. So basically what I am trying to say is there is no definite answer to this topic, why, I am just trying to help us all understand better.
WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY?

Unconsious Bias
Tracey Adkins Unconscious Bias - It took me ages to get to typing as so much was whirring round my mind to write about since the book launch. Should I keep it light? big the book up? talk about how amazing Alex is? or should I bring up important issues that this book brings to the table, like love, connections, communication, non-judgment and acceptance?
So, I've decided to tell you about my 'unconscious bias' experience that this book made me more aware of.
My brother is a 62 year old neurodiverse man living in a care home, I asked one of his carers if anyone reads within the home and she told me the young person that I would least expect...non verbal autistic..is the reader !!! This was the moment I became very aware of my own 'unconscious bias'. I had met this person and from the outside you would think there is no way of communicating, how wrong was I in that moment. If you can read, you can communicate, they will be getting a copy of Good Night Diary.
The point of that experience is that we all have an 'unconscious bias' , within 4 seconds we judge someone, within that 4 seconds our brains compute what is before us. I urge us to think beyond that 4 seconds because that 4 seconds judgment is quite often wrong.
Good Night Diary is a tool for communication and awareness as well as a heartwarming story of a young man trying to negotiate life.
If you have read the book please contact us and let us know if it evoked a feeling in you... tell us YOUR STORY

Monthly Blog May 2025
Hello, everyone. In this month’s blog, the author and creator of the bestselling book “Good Night Diary” the life of Felix Jones Alex Griffin.
Hi this is Alex I wanted to discuss a critical topic and one which over looked is some peoples views, this is mental health, a topic which is very important to me because I have exsperienced this in the past in ways which I don’t think I should dissclose in this months blog, however I might in a later blog.
Firstly i wanted to ask you all a question, a question which is probally one of the most hardest questions in my opinion to awnser trufully. its a question which is one of the most used and translated questions in the world. For many years I could not awnser this question trufully because I thought lying to myself and everyone else around me was the only option, nevertheless once I awnsered this question trufully just once my whole world changed for the better. you are probally wondering what this question is?
well I will put the same questions below, but in a few different languages.
- Cómo estás? - Spanish
- Come stai? - Italian
- Comment vas-tu? - French
- 元気ですか? - Japanese
- Wie geht es dir? - German
- How are you? - English
- Kuidas läheb? - Estonian
As you can see, it’s just a simple question, but one most of us today can’t answer truly to ourselves and to others. It’s a known fact that at some point in our lives we all will not awnser that question right, thats ok because it inevitable to happen. we will never know when that time will come, nor can we estimate because the tragic part of life is that the bad parts can happen to anyone at any stage in their lives.
Finally, I wanted to end this months blog of a postive note. Whatever happens in everones’s lifes there is HOPE when we need it most, we might not see it or know it’s there. however, trust me it’s there. Maybe just once in your life through the difficult time, if someone asks you that very important question “HOW ARE YOU” try awnsering it trufully, you never know what might happen, but speaking form exsperince, saying the truth changed my whole life completley. Have a wonderful day and be your true self to the max!
