Bullying In The Workplace
Being bullied is never an easy thing to deal with, and compounding the matter is dealing with bullying from someone at your place of employment. In this situation you really are stuck between a rock and a hard place, for alot of us, we can’t just get up and move jobs or tell the bully…

The Inferior Female
Stature slender, Pitch higher. A non-male gender, So he must be higher. Physically inferior, Sit still and look pretty. Don’t question the superior, You’ll only look silly. Beauty over brains. Man over beauty. I’m not a feminist, But a minority of men give me reason I should be. Are you threatened by…

Why You & I Both Hate Shopping
Nothing sinks my heart further into the pit of my stomach than the sight of two mums fighting over the same cable-knit jumper in the ‘Winter’ aisle, or better yet, one of them fighting with yours truly. Not that I would ever buy a cable-knit jumper or anything remotely resembling it but the point still…

The Struggle Of Trying To Eat Healthily
I would rather bite my own tongue OFF than put another rice cracker with low fat margarine IN my mouth. You read that correctly, self-maiming seems like a healthier option as oppose to a life full of flavourless feeding habits. I’m in no way against people being as healthy as they can be, I’m just…

Why Do I Feel So Exhausted?
At the ripe old age of 23, it’s safe to say that fatigue should be a common occurrence, right? Wrong! Then why is it the norm for me to walk around like a zombie and to fight to keep my eyes open by noon? Lots of us feel tired alot of the time but we’re…

How Important Is Your Health?
The answers is yes, if you don’t have a screw loose, but if this is the answer then why do so many of us struggle to keep the gym routine in check, or even have one to begin with? How often should you really go to the gym? It’s a shame to say it but…

Poem – What’s In A Tattoo?
The needle pierces my body, But I feel no pain. Black Ink drowns my pores, Euphoria begins. I am in paradise, I am transformed. My skin marked before my eyes, An external expression of an inner form. This is the poem I wrote for my first ever podcast published on my blog!…

Why The Winter Blues?
With the sun getting lazier and lazier these November nights, returning to its slumbers faster than I’m sure the majority if us would like, as a result, I hear the miserable moans and groans of grief-stricken commuters. The winter blues have well and truly set in for some and it’s still only autumn! They have…

Poem: 5th November 1605
The dank presence of gunpowder fills their lungs. Settling smoke distorts their view. 5th November 1605 – a night like any other. If only this were really true. Traders to country, traitors to crown. The Gunpowder Plot, Dismembered, put down. Destructive paths each had chosen, Treasonous, treacherous. Yet failed to make any explosion.…

ASMR – Does It Work On You?
Sometimes I have out-of-body body moments and starkly realise that I’ve just been entranced by some sorcerer on YouTube swishing saliva about in her mouth, repeating the word ‘stipple’ about a million times and making weird butterfly motions with her fingers. Please help me! Is anyone else grossly engrossed by this phenomenon? Some of my…

Poem: Cold
It’s cold outside, My windows – opaque. Toes – curled up tight. Hands – beginning to shake. Amber embers of fire flicker, I begin to rock. My breath in the air grows thicker, There’s a hole in my sock. The fat black cat returns back, She always let’s in the cold. I bolt…

Why Do We Dress Up Like Kn*bs On Halloween?
If you read my earlier post, the title above may have sprung to mind. It is a weird concept if we remove ourselves from the festivities for just a second, and instead have a momentary out of body experience. Envision yourself looking at your badly sewn together costume, your lop-sided devil horns and staining-for-weeks pasty…
