I already did a post about finishing university but I’d like to do an update now that I’ve graduated and it’s been 5 months since I handed in my last essay. My graduation ceremony was perhaps the best day of my life. I’m already married (technically had two weddings!) but that wasn’t the best day… Continue reading Graduating at 28: a reflection

Learning how to fall
Anyone who has tried to learn how to do a handstand, headstand, elbow stand or any other complex move of this sort knows that it’s important to learn how to fall. How to fall safely. Therefore I wanted to share with you the idea of learning how to fall figuratively, aka, learning how to fail.… Continue reading Learning how to fall
Equilibrium, the journey and self-actualisation
I’ve been very reflective lately and I think that’s partly because it’s nearly autumn which is a reflective time of year and partly because university is over. I’m introspective by nature but a lot of thoughts have been going through my mind and as usual, I feel I want to share some of those thoughts… Continue reading Equilibrium, the journey and self-actualisation
Romanticising your life
Something I want to try for the change in seasons is romanticising my life a bit more. Autumn and winter are very aesthetically pleasing and vibey times of year, and so I thought this was a perfect time to practice this idea. I have watched some content about “romanticising your life” but I want to… Continue reading Romanticising your life
Slower and intentional living: I don’t want to be pushing for the rest of my life
I’ve spent most of my adulthood so far, ten years, worrying and stressing and panicking. I’m 28 and all I desire right now is not to be bettering myself. I know I’ve built content around this very idea over many years, but that doesn’t feel right to me anymore. Not right now, anyway. Because whether… Continue reading Slower and intentional living: I don’t want to be pushing for the rest of my life

Thoughts on potential, freedom, endings, and time
University is finished. I’ve felt mentally done for a while though. That last push was difficult but it’s final over and it’s got me thinking. Over the last few months, I’ve been considering what this end means for me. With university being over, I have more free time and headspace. I have this piece of… Continue reading Thoughts on potential, freedom, endings, and time
How to Get the Perfect Body
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about fitness, physical health and my body. On my 28th birthday this April, I spent the morning in the gym for the first time in around 4 years. I wanted to start this new year/age as I meant to go on: looking after my physical body. I had a… Continue reading How to Get the Perfect Body
The Power of Routines
I think the most successful people are those with routines that work for them. Routines are systems or habits for the things you need to do that are natural and scheduled so they become familiar and expected. This may seem boring to some, but routines work in our favour… Firstly, they take the decision-making out… Continue reading The Power of Routines
Chapter 28 – birthday reflection
This year feels important. 28 is an age that seems to mean so much to me and to society. It’s the age I will be graduating from university and so I am in a position to “use” my degree and progress post-university/study. It’s an age that often means settling down and thinking about children. It… Continue reading Chapter 28 – birthday reflection
