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 [...]
To document some of my current favourite clothes: (I started writing a blog post to go with these pictures, but it's turning out to be a bit lengthier than expected, so it will follow soon. Bear with x)

As the story goes, he approaches the Buddha to question his teaching. Why does his faithfulness [...]
Another old note. Isn't it strange how past pieces of writing can transport you back to memories you would otherwise forget? I can remember exactly where and what my thought process was when this idea began to blossom. Even though I don't necessarily feel the same way now, it's nice to have something raw from [...]
On Saturday morning I was sad to discover my camera would no longer turn on. I think it's due to water damage, which occurred just before Christmas. The chances of it working since have been rocky.
