  • No One HAS To Agree With You | An Argument About Arguments (And Extremists)

    I’m a collector of words, phrases, and quotes. Perhaps it comes from being a writer myself, or the fact I’m a bit of a bookworm, but whatever the reason may be I have various notebooks, apps, and other paraphernalia dedicated to scraps of sentences around me. One such place where I collect quote is in Read more

  • Why Is Porn Like This? | Let’s Talk About It

    Before we even get into this post, I need to say that I’m not anti-porn. Shocking I know; a feminist who isn’t against porn! Well, settle yourself in fellows because I might be able to surprise you further. Believe it or not, but most feminists (and those who don’t like to call themselves that) aren’t Read more

  • Myself – May, Myself And I #19 (Catch Up)

    May 19: Myself I am constantly trying to work on myself.  If you have been to this blog before, then you know that I’m all about self development and self improvement. I’m kind of obsessed with working on myself and trying to become a better person and this is something I’ve been actively working on Read more

  • Sparkle – May, Myself And I #18

    May 18: Sparkle Sparkle for me is a very girlie thing. Now I know it’s 2019 and that gender isn’t of any importance any more, but sparkle is something that feels very feminine to me. Now you already know how much I love drag queens and anything else camp, so perhaps you’d assume that I’m Read more

  • Is Instagram A Creative Outlet?

    I’ve mentioned it before, but I love Instagram. I’ve been posting so much on it lately and, although I do think I need to take a break from it every now and again, I really enjoy it! In fact I use it so much, I kind of consider it a hobby for me now. I’ve Read more

  • Sexism, Exploitation and Memes

    I wonder how many memes there are on the internet? They’re something we all see pretty much every time we log onto a social media site. That black and white lettering that protests some sarcastic message has basically become iconic now and will forever be recognised. Memes are a way for people to rant, to Read more

  • Introversion: Learning & Accepting

    Realising I was an introvert was a journey that took longer than I could have ever imagined. And even though I’m finally getting towards the end, I still struggle to accept it sometimes. Being the centre of attention is not really my cup of tea, if I’m honest, and it never has been. Of course, Read more

  • Mind Your Damn Business: A Discussion On Privacy by a Nosy Journalism Student

    I haven’t even started this post yet but I already know it’s going to have no structure and no clear point. Apologies. But this is a topic I really want to talk about and something that I’ve been thinking about recently for various different reasons. I am currently in my last year of a Journalism Read more

  • Calling All Freshers: Second Year Experience

    Okay, so the title of this ‘series’ doesn’t really go with this topic as when you’re in Freshers (that’s the first year of university) you couldn’t care less about what’s coming next. Still nonetheless I know hearing about other people’s experiences helped me get prepared and generally just calm my nerves about what was to Read more

  • There’s More Than Meets The Eye (Usually)

    I’m going to hold my hands up now and say that I’m a judger. I judge people instantly and, as horrible as this is, all the time. And I know I’m not the only one. But the things is, we’re taught to judge people. We’re told that ‘first impressions count’ and whatever is decided in Read more

  • Being A ‘Good Girl’: A Discussion of Rebellion, Following the Rules & Accepting Yourself

    All my life I have been a ‘good girl’. I never got into major trouble at school, my parents were never called in to discuss my behaviour and I never got a detention. Although I was a bit more loud and livelier at home I was still never a naughty kid. Like everyone I got Read more
