MY PALMOLOGY

 

Love Life Interpretation: The heart line curves gently but firmly beneath the fingers, indicating a compassionate and nurturing nature in love. This signifies deep, enduring connections and an ability to empathize with partners. The presence of a ring suggests a commitment, perhaps a bond that is both comforting and profound, with a focus on harmonious relationships filled with mutual respect and understanding.

Career Interpretation: The head line runs parallel to the life line, showing a balance between ambition and practicality. This reveals a person who approaches career with both intellect and intuition. The slightly pronounced mount beneath the pinky hints at strong communication skills, suggesting an individual suited to roles in negotiation, diplomacy, or teaching, where expressing ideas effectively is key.

Health Interpretation: The life line appears clear and uninterrupted, indicating robust health and vitality. Its smooth curve suggests an ability to handle stress gracefully. The presence of minor lines crossing at intervals could indicate times of introspection and renewal, signifying an individual who values mental health and self-care as much as physical well-being.

I’ve often gone back to the beginning. I was born with a true knot in the cord-something that could have gone very differently. Whether that moment had a lasting effect or not, I’ve never been able to ignore it. It feels like the point where things may have started to go off course.

From early childhood there were already signs-behaviour that couldn’t be controlled, pressure building, things not sitting right. By seven, it had reached the point where outside help was needed. That wasn’t the start of something new-it was the continuation of something already there.

Later in life it was given names-diagnoses, categories, explanations. But those came after the fact. What came first was the experience: cycles of intensity, creativity, clarity, followed by collapse, dysfunction, and loss of control.

So when I think about identity, I don’t start with labels. I start with the pattern-and the possibility that it's been there from the very beginning.

 

 

This is a reflection on where I am now, what I’ve learned, and the direction I’m continuing to explore.

At this stage in my life, having reached my late fifties and returned to university, I find myself not simply studying for a degree, but reflecting on the path that brought me here. The ideas I now hold are not abstract theories formed in isolation, but the result of lived experience, mistakes, learning, and a conscious decision to move forward with purpose.

I am currently studying for a BA in Film and Media Studies, a subject that continues to hold my full interest both academically and practically. Alongside my studies, I regularly go out with my camera, capturing still images and observing the world through a visual lens. This ongoing engagement keeps me connected to media, not just as theory, but as something lived, created, and interpreted.

Through both my academic work and earlier experience in law and the criminal justice system, I have developed a set of principles that shape how I see society, responsibility, and the role of law.

I believe strongly that responsibility sits at the centre of a functioning society. Individuals should understand that their actions carry consequences – not only for themselves, but for others around them. Too often, harm occurs not through careful planning, but through a lack of thought, preparation, or guidance. This has led me to believe that prevention must play a greater role than punishment. It is not enough to respond after damage has been done; we must look earlier, to education, upbringing, and environment, and ask how problems can be reduced before they take hold.

I also believe that many people are not adequately prepared for the responsibilities they take on in life, particularly in areas such as parenting and decision-making. This is not always a failure of the individual, but often a failure of the systems that surround them. Society tends to react to failure rather than prepare people to succeed. My view is that guidance, structure, and early intervention are essential if we are to reduce harm in meaningful ways.

At the same time, I recognise that any system must be fair and grounded in reality. My own experiences have shown me that human behaviour is complex, and that theory alone does not always translate into practice. Effective systems must take into account how people actually behave, not just how we would like them to behave.

Through my studies in Film and Media, I have become increasingly aware of the power of representation, communication, and public perception. This has naturally led me to develop an interest in law, particularly media law, where questions of responsibility, fairness, and impact are directly applied. Rather than moving away from Film and Media, I see this as a continuation of it – bringing together creative practice with an understanding of the legal and social frameworks that shape what we produce and consume.

Underlying all of this is a belief in the possibility of change. People are not fixed. Given the right circumstances, support, and personal determination, it is possible to move in a different direction. My own return to education, and my current academic work, reflect that belief.

Looking ahead, I intend to build on these principles through further study in law, with a particular interest in civil matters where practical solutions can be found to real-world problems. My aim is not simply to understand the law, but to use it in a way that reflects these values – supporting fairness, reducing harm, and helping to resolve the kinds of situations that affect everyday lives.

I am also increasingly aware of the wider economic pressures that shape people’s lives. Rising living costs, declining public services, and growing inequality place real strain on individuals and families. These are not abstract issues - they directly affect upbringing, opportunity, and behaviour, and their consequences are often visible in areas such as education, parenting, and crime.

It is difficult to ignore the sense that the current economic model places increasing pressure on those with the least capacity to absorb it. While people are often expected to take responsibility for their actions, the conditions in which those actions occur are becoming more challenging. When stability becomes harder to maintain, the long-term effects are not just financial, but social.

These observations have led me to question how sustainable current approaches are, particularly where support systems struggle to keep pace with rising demands. This reinforces my belief that prevention, support, and early intervention are not optional, but necessary if we are to address problems before they become entrenched.
