We're oceans apart. Between us waves are breaking, And so is my heart. I wrote a version of this poem in a notebook two years ago, completely forgetting about it until I fell upon the same notebook a few weeks ago. When I saw it I was pleasantly surprised. I realised I could change the [...]

Things to Fall in Love with
A list. For when I need a reminder that falling in love isn't reserved for relationships. Walking through a foreign town where no one knows your nameFinding shops full of beautiful clutterArt and books and photosThe memories they replay for usCoffee anytime of the dayLoving your friends, forgiving your foes, and complimenting strangers Telling family [...]
The July 2019 Chapter
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. Life seems to be one long process of creation. A constant journey through that pattern to improve oneself. Although it passes us in [...]
The April 2019 Chapter
For a while I thought I was becoming someone with too much to say. I've always been quiet. A lot of people have called me shy, but I prefer quiet because it's not often out of nerves that I don't speak. It's choice. Over the last few months I've been saying a lot and wondering [...]
How I Balance Life and Writing
Initially I feel that I should point out that life and writing aren't actually two separate entities for me. They are both woven quite neatly together. Writing is my life. Perhaps a better title for this post would be 'how I integrate writing and life'. Writing is a discipline and does best when it becomes [...]

The January 2019 Chapter
There's hardly any pictures and no words are coming to mind. January, everyone says you are passing too slowly, but I feel like you only dropped by. When the year started I was determined to make this year better than last. I'm pleased to say that's going very well, although I don't have much to [...]
A fresh start.
We were sat all together on a round table, anticipating the release of the party poppers in our mits, and glasses at the ready. When the countdown begun I savoured every second of saying goodbye 2018. Two words that still put a smile on my face now. And as the calendar rolled over on to [...]
24.10.18
I've had a rush of writing inspiration the last few days, hence updating my writing progress a tad late. As I went to stop writing one piece on Sunday to work on my blog, I second guessed myself and continued writing what I was really excited about. Writing that paragraph has made me realise how [...]
Choose Kindness
Kindness will sometimes be difficult to give. It is a process of learning, to force your mind to stop when it urges for you to collapse into rage or hurt or panic - how to choose kindness. When I am asked, I must honestly answer that I can be kind because I know how it [...]
