My throat had become dry of attempts at conversation. Even now I couldn't think of any new topic or question to try. I had to accept that Ayumi just wouldn't talk to me. Of course I found it difficult, after all we'd only known each other a couple of weeks, and usually people are at [...]

Body Confidence
Should you have come to this post with a lack thereof, here's what I would like you to do. Go to your mirror for ten minutes and study yourself. This is the honest way I build my body confidence. To amplify I often listen to music too. Ask me as I'm writing this and I [...]
The Flutters of a Butterfly’s Wing
Breathless without moving, my thoughts outrun me time and time again. I often run away into my mind, and lead a completely different life. A lot of my memories actually revolve around the stories I created at the time rather than a realistic recollection. I know that for a long time I was deeply insecure. [...]
Bloom | Poem
Bloom A soil buried deep in my lungs Timelessly blooms flowers. They're beautiful, but grow Suffocatingly. If I could plant myself in my own shoes, I'd walk through their splendor Instead. I saw a much better drawing of flowers growing from lungs a while ago, and I remember being captivated by the idea that something [...]
Six months single | Part #3

Don’t be the Girl.
A poem
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 [...]
The last day of 21
I'm so looking forward to tomorrow, when I will turn twenty-two. Wow. That number sounds so grown up to me, like I'm a proper adult. Yet, that's not how I am at all! There's a lot still to be figured out in this life of mine and I can't wait. December '17 - How much [...]
A lot to be grateful for.
Finally the first of December and my Christmas decorations are straight out. It may sound dramatic, but this is really what I make it through each year for. For all the commercialism it brings, I really do believe this is the best time of year. Over the next month the whole world will be in [...]
