So since September I’ve moved to Wales and began studying for my masters in Ed Psych. I definitely took the long, complicated road to get here but better late than never I suppose. This is off the back of going to uni for my undergrad (studying psychology), dropping out after one term, going back to…
An Act Of Kindness
Last weekend I was sat in a coffee shop just by Maidenhead town centre. I had just been to my appointment and wanted to grab a drink and read a book which I bought from a charity shop at the last minute because I’d forgotten to pack one. It was raining outside and I only…
Spending Time Alone
I’ve been spending some time alone. At work on my lunch breaks I’ll sit outside with an iced coffee; sometimes my work friends will join me other times I’ll just sit there for a while myself. It’s nice. I’ve noticed this one rose growing by itself and some smaller pink and purple flowers I don’t…
Sometimes You Should Colour Outside The Lines
Drink your red bull or full fat coke in the morning. Stay in bed longer than you need to. Leave your laundry in the basket. Have a second breakfast. Binge watch your favourite show all day. Leave your phone on do not disturb. Colour outside the line. Throw the entire book away. Just give yourself…
Come Back Like You’ve Never Been Away
I’ve missed being active on here. I’ve written extracts and posts which have sat in my drafts for a while now. Yet none of my work seems good enough. Or, rather, worthy for the public. Yet I sit and wonder why I’m letting myself get sucked into the trap of perfection and social acceptance when…

10 Things I Wish I Knew Before Going To The Gym
Things i wish I knew before going to the gym. 1) Nobody cares about you. In respect, they’re only there for their own progress and are not bothered by you or what you do/don’t look like. Eyes are not all on you and as you get on with your workout, you’ll realise everyone else is…
How I Lost Almost 30 lbs in Weight
Disclaimer: this is a personal story but I’m sharing it in the hopes that it might help someone in some way. By no means am I saying to do these things but this is what worked for me. You know your body more than anyone else so be careful. Also, love yourself; wherever you are…
I’m Not Always A Good Person And Here’s Why.
I have a confession. I’m not always a good person. I do things that aren’t things that good people would do. But here’s the catch – I’m glad I do them. Before you jump to wild conclusions, I’m not a bad person either. I regard myself as a good being and I try to do…
Are Blue Light Glasses Worth it?
Disclaimer: this is not an AD. I’m not being paid what so ever – though if the company would like to reach out, feel free to do so by all means. I purchased blue light glasses a couple of months ago to see how it would help me. I have chronic migraines, which can largely…
