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 [...]
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 [...]
I'm in such a lucky position as I have the best women in my life right now. It seems that the past few years of my life have been dedicated to women and the amazing relationships we can have together - and I couldn't be more grateful. Friends are important at any time, but especially [...]
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 [...]
May 23: Kindness Now I know how important kindness is, but I don't think I'd ever consider it to be strength of mine. Kindness is something that is normally associated with women, but it's something that we can all offer and experience. I know that I have experienced kindness so many times in my life [...]
May 15: Black + White As I am a Geordie and very proud of where I come from, there really is no other topic that I can talk about today. I'm from a city in the North East of England called Newcastle Upon Tyne. We're quite a famous city and most people know us for [...]
May 5: Eggs My puppy loves eggs. Before getting a dog I couldn't even imagine that a sentence like that would even make sense, but it's true. We were very blessed towards the end of last year and Ceaser came into our lives, despite the fact that my family "would never have a dog" (Dad, literally [...]
What a statement, eh?! Imagine never feeling heartbroken. I don't think there's a person alive right now who hasn't felt this feeling at least once. My first true heartbreak was probably when the pop-sensation band Steps split up in the early noughties, and this pain continued as every band I loved through my childhood took [...]
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 [...]
Now I get that Christmas is meant to be 'the most wonderful time of the year' and I don't want to take that away from anyone. But I do, and have been trying throughout this little series, want to highlight that it's not like that for everyone. A big thing about Christmas and this time [...]
