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,…

Why Are my Dreams Getting Stranger??
Last night I dreamt that I was waterskiing off of the fin of a Great White shark….I haven’t watched ‘Jaws’ in years so where did that one come from? Dreams – so vivid in the moment yet escape from our minds more often than not within the blink of an eye. Messages from our subconscious…

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…

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…

You Are Unique, No?
Something which has fascinated me for quite some time is this shared feeling many of us have, a feeling of internal friction. A part of us is pulled towards wanting to feel unique and feel like an individual, while the other pushes us to want to fit in and conform. And so both forces, (as…
