I've been gone a little while. Life has been happening, and I've permitted myself to be a part of it. In the past, the guilt I would have experienced about not keeping up with something I'd set out to do would have been brutally heavy and mean. It would have mentally beaten me to a… Continue reading 100 Days Of Blogging #38 – There’s Been Some Life In My Life

100 Days Of Blogging #34 – I Did That Thing You Should Never Do
I've deleted the content of this post because I don't think it was necessary to have here. What I will say though is that 'thing I did that you should never do' was I looked at an ex's Instagram account. It wasn't a wise thing to do. It just hurt.
100 Days Of Blogging #29 – It’s Ok Not To Be On Fire
It's been a weird few days. Ill health seems to be the overriding theme of my life at the moment. Yesterday I was told I have IBS, and I've been referred on the two-week rule to see a dermatologist for a mole that's snuck into my life. I'm handling the mole thing surprisingly well. My… Continue reading 100 Days Of Blogging #29 – It’s Ok Not To Be On Fire
100 Days Of Blogging #22 – I’m Happy. What’s Changed? Part II
The other day I was writing about being happy and listing some of the things I've been consciously doing every day as acts of self-care and preservation. (If you haven't read that post, I suggest you do that now, then come back here.) I'm still happy, though a bit scattered because my day was derailed… Continue reading 100 Days Of Blogging #22 – I’m Happy. What’s Changed? Part II
100 Days Of Blogging #20 – I’m Happy. What’s Changed? Part I
I'm feeling happy today. I've been feeling, on the whole, happy all week.

100 Days Of Blogging #19 – Looking Through My Diary From 2009
My mum has found boxes of my old diaries in her loft. My first thought when she told me was 'I hope to fuck she hasn't flicked through them...I'll be MORTIFIED if she has.' One of the two she handed me today was from my second year at university in 2009 when I'd just had… Continue reading 100 Days Of Blogging #19 – Looking Through My Diary From 2009
100 Days Of Blogging #13 – I Was Up At 5.30Am To Shoot My Friend
The last time I was up at such a cruel hour was when I waited overnight at Manchester Airport for a flight to Iceland. It was the same as before that…and the time before that. (Hell, EasyJet, PLEASE CHANGE YOUR GODDAMN FLIGHT TIMES. I can't while away another night in the bleakest airport ever built.)… Continue reading 100 Days Of Blogging #13 – I Was Up At 5.30Am To Shoot My Friend

Some Good Things I Did For Myself Today Finding the right way to say everything isn't alright is hard.

100 Days Of Blogging #7 – Some Things That Have Been Pissing Me Off
Being afraid every time I need to call my doctors surgery to make an appointment. This has been happening for some time, but it's been worsening recently. I have a few things going on health-wise (physically and mentally), so I try to stay very in tune with my body and mind. (Or so I like… Continue reading 100 Days Of Blogging #7 – Some Things That Have Been Pissing Me Off
100 Days Of Blogging #1 – Walking With A Wolfdog
I've been going through an existential crisis, and last week was at breaking point. After twenty-odd years of first-hand experience with mental breakdowns, I've finally, in my 36th year, come to accept when I need to say to myself, 'I'M DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS RIGHT FUCKING NOW.' The first thing I did was call my doctor… Continue reading 100 Days Of Blogging #1 – Walking With A Wolfdog
