Why I Love To Hate Valentine’s Day
Table for one, please. đŚ So Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, and once again for yet another year I have that dreaded sinking feeling in my cold-hearted chest. That’s right, I’m single, which automatically means I resign to a life of embitterment and resentment. Even the slightest ‘peck on the cheek’ of the lovey dove…

Um…Hi?
Realising that the last thing I wrote on here was with regards to dating apps truly haunts me inside. Maybe writing that oh so magical post zapped all the magic from within me and had me running for the hills on my hiatus for so long? Or maybe it’s because I was afraid of judgment,…

Doomsday Dating Apps
Dating applications – where to begin….. I develop a headache as soon as I start to think about them. They say that we shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover but isn’t that exactly what we’re doing on those platforms? If Timmy’s hairline recedes so much as a millimetre too far on the upper left…

Why Does Relaxing Feel Like A Sin?
*Why does this photo make me laugh so much? I’m wrong for this. Is it just me or does she look like the lead in ‘Voldemort’s half-sister’ or something (ok never mind)? đ Ahem, guilt shouldnât rid us of the pleasure of taking a break, relaxing shouldnât be deemed a âsinâ. Nor a ârewardâ for…

The Cheat
The Cheat I close my eyes, I still feel you beside me. A distant memory latches on, As time heals the pain of losing you for eternity. I never knew that I was the other woman. And probably I was never meant to. But your urge to be so close to me from a place…

Groundhog Day
I don’t really know what to talk about, perhaps if I type for long enough some eureka moment might strike me much like the sudden urge to pee just as you’re in early morning traffic. I feel like everyday is Groundhog day in my life currently, yes – new month new me pessimistic perspective about…

Why Is Life So Hard (Sometimes)?
âLife is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.â– Confucious I think we can convince ourselves at times that the word ‘simple’ is synonymous with ‘boring’. And no-one wants a boring life, right? So what do we do, we fill our day with numerous ‘tasks’, be it in the physical sense or simply…

Sentences which would spring to mind if I were to gaze upon the beauty of these masterpieces at the museum: ‘The Look’ – when someone steals your last crisp. Royal Collection Trust The ‘home late from work infront of the TV seriously questioning what I’m doing with my life’ kind of look. When Mother opens…

Should I Get A Pet Pt II?
If you missed my account of âTiger Lilyâ the assassin goldfish and my escapee terrapins, check it out here. And now onto the next poor sods to ever cross my path, the mini-dinosaurs of the world – the birds. The Budgerigars It must be a sad life being a bird trapped in a cage, and…

Should I Get A Pet?
Growing up, my house was one animal short of being the 21st centuryâs answer to Noahâs ark. From terrapins to budgies, fish to cats and dogs, and even the occasional earthworm and snail, itâs fair to say that my parents were pretty open to the idea of having their house destroyed by their adorable children…

My Love….
My eyes did not widen, Like heavy husks of tea-soaked bread, I lay idle, unable to move. Submerged in the viscosity of my own tears. How could you leave me all alone on this planet? After all of these years. They say a heart heals in the hands of time. So why does mine only hurt…

Why Havenât I Written Anything In 4 Months?
If youâd thought Iâd perished, fear not, for phoenixes rise from the ashes, and I from my bedroom once in a blue moon. What can I say? This sedentary state of mind and body takes its toll. But before I start quoting Confucius and reading palms Iâll adopt a more grounded tone of voice. So…
