Poem: Planet Earth
What is this planet we call home? Crying tears of salt water, Which hugs the coastlines days later. Spouting rivers of lava, Meandering from vast volcanic craters. Motions of oceans, You see land, you feel safer. Deserted deserts. Here thirst does not waver. Hosting the coldest of climates Where chances of death become greater.…

Sexual Assault – Should We Be Allowed To Carry Weapons?
The air is frosty, I’m wearing open-toed heels as I briskly walk towards the direction of my house, it’s the small hours of Sunday morning, and a few seconds earlier I was saying bye to my friends at the bar. I only live 15 minutes away, heels are hard to walk in I tell myself,…

Music To Your Ears
Although I can’t sing a note in key to save myself, the bottom line is – I.LOVE.MUSIC From dancing to writing about it in magazines, I just can’t seem to get enough of it! My favourite genres are Hip-Hop and Reggaeton but I do dabble in the odd bit of trance and classics every…

The Time I Almost Went Blind
I think back to this horrific memory as a result of having incredibly dry and itchy eyes for what felt like every living second of work today. If you’re familiar with my other post about an unwelcomed eye infection I had last year, then you’ll be familiar with the fact that I’ve had some nasty…

Silent Disco?
Always keen to try something atleast once, I thought I’d lend my supple body to a bit of shape throwing in a silent room full of strangers.

Male Suicide
‘Death of A Salesman’ by Arthur Miller The Young Vic’s adaptation of the 1949 play was simply faultless. So well executed was the storyline that I went home overcome by an aura of melancholy, unshakeable even by watching the funniest of comedies on Netflix. If you are unfamiliar with the play, it happens to be…
