The truth is, I will never ‘find’ myself… Read more

You would think with the amount of times I’ve written a post like this in the past I would learn that there is no such thing as permanent stability. But here we are again. I recently turned 28 and while I have achieved a lot over the past few years, something wasn’t right. I’d been Read more

Over the years of this blog, I have gone from posting weekly to yearly! If that is a sign that I simply have nothing left to say, then I’ll let you be the judge of that, but as is tradition for this time of year on Rachaelic I’m back for a post. I just read Read more

It’s been over a whole year since I last even looked at this site, let alone sat down to write! I thought a great way to come back is with a classic, something many of us have done over the years which is a birthday reflection post. I remember doing one of these when I Read more

There is something I need to change if I want to move on, and this is what I’m doing in 2022. Read more

It’s that time of the year again! I’m sure you’re sick of hearing it, but can you believe it’s almost Christmas? We’ve been through a lot, collectively and individually, this past year and it’s made things weird. It doesn’t quite feel as magical and fun as it should, don’t you think? Things are still up Read more

I wanted to write a short little post today because it’s something I’m thinking about. It’s something I’ve lived this morning and I thought it was a good lesson to share with you lovely lot, so here we are. You don’t need me to tell you again that I’m an introvert, but it is relevant. Read more

As I’m writing this post, I can’t remember specifically what inspired this thought, but I have a feeling it was either a TED Talk video or a podcast. Either way, what matters most is the lesson behind it – although I do believe in sharing your sources when you can! – so I’m going to Read more

I wanted to call this post ‘Sunday Scheming’ because that day marks the end of a week for me, and that’s usually when I get randomly inspired to change my whole life. However, it’s currently a bank holiday in England which means this week is having a later start than usual for most, but I’ve Read more

Before I go into this post, I just want to preface it by saying that I’m writing this in a low mood state. Writing is cathartic and I’m hoping by the end of this post I’ll feel lighter, but just to warn you, in case you too are in a dark place right now, that Read more

It seems as though all of the posts I have made throughout this year are inspired by some kind of revelation I’m having about my life (read: crisis) With a lot of spare time on my hands and not a lot of outside stimulation, I’ve been overthinking and revaluating more than usual. If you read Read more

I am quite an opinionated person. This was something that I prided myself on when I was younger, as I thought it made me sound ‘strong’. Really, it just made me sound like a dickhead. Now there’s nothing wrong with expressing your opinions, obviously. But have you ever met someone who explicitly calls themselves ‘opinionated’ Read more

It’s been a while since I’ve written anything for my blog, and that kind of ties in with the title today. We’re often called to make boundaries for the sake of our mental and emotional health, sometimes even our physcial too. Setting boundaires is a loaded statement for me, as it’s something that makes me Read more

You don’t need me to tell you how weird 2020 has been so far, surely? For those of us in the UK, it seems that some kind of normalcy is desperately trying to come back to us since shops, pubs and restaurants have reopened. While this has not gone without it’s faults, it was a Read more

How are you supposed to live without an open heart? This is a question I’ve seen loads when reading self-help and exploring things more spiritual, but I never really paid it much mind. I mean, ‘open your heart’ – what does that actually mean? In case you’re interested in astrology, I’m a Pisces sun and Read more
