I have always considered myself to be boring. For the majority of my life, I have been a (fairly) quiet, studious person who likes my own company. I enjoy reading, as you know, and staying indoors - like any stereotypical introvert would be proud to share. As I explained in a recent post, where I [...]
This title is a little dramatic, but this is something I've been thinking about for a while now. It's recently come to a head with my sudden burst of love and motivation for Instagram (follow me here). Everything I post on social media is a lie - of sorts. Scrolling through my feed, these bright [...]
As I'm getting older I am starting to learn more about the kind of person I want to be and I'm learning how to get rid of negative attitudes I simply just don't need anymore. For such a long time now being a feminist has been a huge part of my identity. But despite everything I [...]
I can't believe I'm about to write this, but it has been a year since I graduated university. One year since I was finally free from a degree that I had worked my arse off for three years. If you're currently in the midst of your studies, I'm sure that you've dreamed about the situation [...]
It's my birthday tomorrow, so how else would a wannabe blogger celebrate than writing a cliche post? I actually love these kind of posts - I wrote one for my birthday last year and found it to be a great experience. I love this positive yet reflective state I get in around this time of [...]
First of all let me say, that if we split in a bad way then I'm no longer mad. I understand that at the time neither of us were in a position where our actions were as mature or as thought out as they could have been. And for that I do have some regret. [...]
We're over a week into 2018 already and from what I've seen across my social media, it's been a bit of strange one for people. Some people out there are proper getting into their new years resolutions; they are making wonderfully positive changes to their lives and are totally smashing it. On the flip side [...]
This past year has been a mad one, don't you think? I know how cliche it is to say this but it has honestly gone so fast - I don't think I can even process the fact that 2017 is soon to be over! To be totally honest with you, this year has been full [...]
For the past few months my mental health hasn't been in the best of places. With dealing with my graduation and impending 'adult life'; starting a new job and some illnesses and issues within my family, things have gotten on top of me a bit and it's been evident to everyone around me. Including my [...]
I talk to myself an awful lot. And I'm not kidding, I mean a lot. In fact, maybe I should be embarrassed for how many conversations I have with myself on a daily basis? I know I certainly feel that way when I talk to myself in public without realising, and meet the eyes of some [...]
