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
My Heart Is Not A Home For Cowards – My Year In 100 Quotes
Gleðilegt nýtt ár from Iceland. I've never been into New Year in the typical sense. Saying 'Happy New Year' in English has left me cringing for the longest time. I'm not entirely sure why. Perhaps it's because my relationship with England is growing ever sourer as the years go on. I don't need to go… Continue reading My Heart Is Not A Home For Cowards – My Year In 100 Quotes
The Darker, The Better – Things From The Pages Of My Notebook
Would someone be so kind as to explain exactly where the actual fuck this past week has gone? Time is taking the piss this year. Despite this somewhat aggressive introduction, I've had a primarily superb weekend. I video messaged with a friend today without hiding my face. I went live on Instagram for the first… Continue reading The Darker, The Better – Things From The Pages Of My Notebook
I Need To Do This. I Have To. I Can’t Not. – Things From The Pages Of My Notebook
This isn’t as much of a beast as last week’s Things From The Pages Of My Notebook post you'll probably be relieved to know, predominantly because I’ve just given you bits from a one notebook instead of three. I hope there’s something of worth here for you to take away. What I Want To Achieve… Continue reading I Need To Do This. I Have To. I Can’t Not. – Things From The Pages Of My Notebook
Go Not Near Her She Is Of Witching Way – Things From The Pages Of My Notebook
For weeks and weeks and weeks, I’ve been hounding myself to go back through my notebooks and copy out everything significant. I finally got around to doing it today but only managed to plough through three of five. I’m going to make an attempt (so no promises!) to try and do a ‘Things From The Pages… Continue reading Go Not Near Her She Is Of Witching Way – Things From The Pages Of My Notebook
Being Back On Social Media
Okay, it's official, I'm a certified idiot. When I last posted, I said I was going to talk to you about being back on social media once a week had gone by of me being back on social media. Well, as it turns out, I had been back on social media for over a week… Continue reading Being Back On Social Media
Reflecting On March – A Bittersweet Month
Well, what a month March was. Turbulent, to say the least. I thought I’d use this post to share some reflections on what went down in the past four weeks. Excuse me if it isn’t all that well ‘put together,’ but my laptop fan is struggling, and, according to my brother, ‘sounds fucked.’ So concentrating… Continue reading Reflecting On March – A Bittersweet Month
Some Thoughts On A Week Away From Social Media
It's a week today since I signed out of Facebook and Instagram and I'm feeling good. As I type this post, my phone is on the other side of the room. It's been picked up once today - when I needed to turn off my alarm this morning. Other than that, I haven't so much… Continue reading Some Thoughts On A Week Away From Social Media
May Your Hunger Guide You – Words For Creatives Going Forward (Part I)
May your hunger guide you through nights wilder still. Nafre. I thought I'd start this post off with a quote from Nafre, a ridiculously wise friend of mine. Last week he signed a message off with 'May your hunger guide you through nights wilder still,' and I've been using it as a source of creative… Continue reading May Your Hunger Guide You – Words For Creatives Going Forward (Part I)
