I want to be a Paperback Writer.
Throughout the past weeks I have been thinking about my physical appearance. It started when I decided to reassess my wardrobe. I imagine I adopt a similar technique to many blog posts you will have seen on this subject before. The items I have not worn in a while are likely to be put in [...]
2020 is the year I finally watched Sex and the City. After being told by many friends that I should watch it, as expected I have been left wondering why I didn't comply sooner, and I thoroughly appreciate the boost of confidence it has given to my independent self. To be honest though, that doesn't [...]
When we were in school they taught us that if the world stopped spinning all of a sudden, everyone would be catapulted from their spot. The pandemic didn't happen quite as instantly as flicking a light switch, of course, but to some extent the result has been the same. With everyone feeling a little out [...]
Life is starting to feel very black and white. I know it's up to me to start colouring it in. But I'm struggling to choose which colours to use. This is what I had started to think, as I was becoming more settled into life in London. The initial feeling of 'what the hell is [...]
They say start as you mean to go on. So far this year, in this new decade, I have moved into a flat with two good friends, secured a new job, and begun a whole new routine of life and keeping connected with friends in a way that is different from popping down the road [...]

Being twenty two was a whirlwind. Sometimes I've thought of it as slightly reckless, but I think that was adjusting to the drastic change from my previous lifestyle. As I was going through the photos I have taken this year I smiled. I have never had so much fun and adventure in the rest of [...]
To write about Kenilworth now, I will have to stretch my mind back to a month ago. It was a Sunday when I visited. Surprisingly bright, although it was cold and it had rained for three days straight prior. The road surrounding the castle had flooded. A group of people had gathered on the bridge [...]
When the leaves changed colour and fell, I didn't think of it. As the air became chillier I only thought for my pile of jumpers, that remained tucked away for so long. A sudden desire to stay indoors didn't even open my eyes. So belatedly, it dawned on me yesterday that I was facing October [...]
Here's a pattern I've noticed: you make a wish, work towards it step by step but never feel like you're getting anywhere, then suddenly it's done, you enjoy the moment. And repeat.
