As I'm writing this, it's a Tuesday which in my book is the second day of the week. For a change, I managed to have a productive and fulfilling Monday (yesterday) with a good balance of work, productivity and relaxation. It was basically the perfect day for me, where I had time to tackle all [...]
As I mentioned in a recent post, my life is going pretty well at the moment. I'm filling my time with fulfilling work, blossoming friendships, and trying new things in order to replace my previous habits. Things are by no means perfect in my life, let me get that clear, but they are going pretty [...]
As someone who works from home, motivation is something I'm always looking for. I'm quite lucky, because I am pretty self-motivated - I always manage to get my work done and can be quite productive on the regular. But I know that not everyone is the same and I still suffer from a lack of [...]
You know that feeling when you open a new notebook, slip into a freshly cleaned bed or start a new novel? I'm kind of hooked on it. It seems like I'm always saying that 'tomorrow will be better' or that 'this time for real I'm going to get my act together'. In all honesty, I'm not that [...]
May 28: PraiseIsn't it awkward getting praise sometimes? I know, like a lot of people, that I often struggle to accept praise - especially when it really matters.

May 24: LettersI used to write a lot of physical letters when I was younger. For a while, I was pen-palling with a couple of friends who lived in other parts of the country. Our letters would usually be handwritten - although later on in the game I did get excited about all of the [...]
May 17: Luck I have to say that I feel so full of luck to be where I am today. I've been doing a lot of reflecting lately, as it's almost the halfway point of 2019, and I just feel so proud of myself. If you've been to this blog before, then you will know [...]
I bloody love podcasts. They've truly revolutionised my life and now I work from home, I'm getting through so many more. True crime is one of my absolute favourite topics to explore and luckily I'm not alone in this. There's so many podcasts out there that talk about true crime cases, some more in depth [...]
Procrastination. We've all fallen victim to it haven't we? Whether you need to get on with an essay, some revision or even your own personal projects it can be really difficult to get started. I know your struggle! Whenever I go to sit at my desk to get on with some work - either professionally [...]
It seems pretty funny to me that I'm writing this post while hungover. But what could possibly be a better time to overthink my relationship with alcohol then now, eh? Living in the North East of England, and specially in Newcastle Upon Tyne, alcohol has always been around me. My city, in case you don't [...]
