Well, long time no write friends! I've just had a look and the last time I published anything on this blog was the end of last year -and I don't really want to count that as a 'proper post' because it was just a quick message. I've thought about coming back and writing basically none [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Good evening friends, I hope you are having a peaceful Sunday! I thought I'd try start a mini-series (once again) because I have a couple of things I wanted to talk about, and I thought this might be a nice conversation for us to have on a Sunday. I'm currently reading The Power of Now [...]

I've recently been exploring spirituality and intuition, and I have to say that I'm really happy to be on this journey right now. After spending time reading self-help books, listening to podcasts and following other people's advice I've started to notice patterns within myself. The more I learn about myself, the more open I'm feeling [...]
You know that iconic scene from Love Actually - one of the best films of all time, don't fight me on it - about Joni Mitchell? Emma Thompson's character is listening to Joni Mitchell while wrapping presents, and is explaining to her bastard of a husband (no, I'll never get over it) played by Alan [...]
With all the things that are going on in the world right now, we could all do with a little extra self-care. I've spoken about self-care a lot on this blog, and for once I'm actually going to be talking about the little and luxurious things that you can do to make yourself feel better. [...]
So many things have changed due to the current situation. I think we're all experiencing an increase in low mood and feelings that we'd rather not deal with, which makes things even harder. As I've mentioned a lot on this blog, I'm someone who spends a lot of time at home generally but even I'm [...]
I haven't wanted to write on this blog for a long time because I've disappointed myself. Like many others, I went into 2020 with goals and exciting plans for the year ahead - all of which have either disappeared or taken a backseat in the light of current events. One of these goals was my [...]
