A list. I haven't made any resolutions as such for the new year, but a little while ago I did vow to stop apologising so much unnecessarily, and came up with a list. As a culture there's a lot of things I think we apologise for just out of politeness. This year I'd like to [...]

My Current TBR List
With life becoming slightly chaotic at the end of 2019, I soon accumulated a small pile of books I am still very eager, but have had to wait to read. Nothing motivates me more than the idea of being able to enjoy a book care free. These are the books I'll be reaching for first [...]
A new life for Christmas.
One month ago I dropped my notice on my boss' desk and called my friend to accept her offer of a flat share in London. I jokingly said 'I'm giving myself a new life for Christmas'. It was an opportunity that ultimately never felt wrong, but it's also apparent to me that I have no [...]
Twenty Three
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 [...]
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 [...]
Why we create?
On Wednesday 20th November I had the loveliest of evenings. A few of my friends and I gathered to watch the first episode of the new Rick and Morty series. We all agreed it was INCREDIBLE. After looking forward to its release for a long time, it certainly hasn't disappointed at all. For those of [...]
Feelings
Written 25/09/19 Feelings is a festering word that crawls over my skin whenever it falls from my mouth. In this world I fear I have been made to feel ashamed of them. On the one hand it can't be helped that some things matter so deeply to me, but on the other it's so much [...]
Alleviating writers block.
A list - can probably be applied to other streams of creativity too A DEFINITON OF WRITER'S BLOCK: FOR ME IT'S AN INTENSE HEADACHE AND A STOMACH FULL OF SHAKING FRUSTRATION. PUSHING FOR A THOUGHT TO APPEAR WHEN THERE'S NOTHING. LIKE PUTTING ONE HUNDRED PERCENT OF YOUR ENERGY INTO STANDING STILL. IT'S A FEELING WE [...]
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 [...]
Everybody’s Changing and I Don’t Feel the Same
Some stream of consciousness written a couple of weeks ago... Never before have I felt so chaotic. I've become a person I thought unreachable: someone who loses her sense of time because she's having too much fun, doesn't second guess what she's doing and doesn't care for where she's going too much. If I were [...]
