One of my new favourite go-to wholesome films is Next Goal Wins. It’s about the international football team of American Samoa, which has never won a game or even scored a goal before. I love it because of its Polynesian wit and huge heart at the centre of the people and narrative. Before I tell… Continue reading Reminder to set the bar low: it’s more fun!

Panic
(TRIGGER WARNING FOR ANXIETY) Overwhelming rush of blood surges through your body. This isn’t unfamiliar. A old friend turned foe. The rising from your stomach to your chest, you’re sure you’re going to vomit. Vomit all the black stuff that sits inside you, poisoning you. When did this black monstrosity get inside? What did you… Continue reading Panic
The Age Panic and Our Mental Health
Work hard while you’re young. Travel while you’re young. Date around while you’re young. Learn while you’re young. Start a business while you’re young. Don’t wait too long! Have a baby while you’re still young. Settle down into a home you’ve bought while you’re young. It’s embarrassing to wait too long. It sounds like society… Continue reading The Age Panic and Our Mental Health
A love letter to myself
It’s Valentine’s day. The commercial day for proving you love someone(s). It’s cliche now but I want to dedicate today to loving myself. Proving to myself that after all the heartbreak, I still love myself. Because I don’t act like it. In a relationship, I would be deemed the neglectful, abusive partner at times. Constantly… Continue reading A love letter to myself

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
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
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
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
How to relieve feelings of Seasonal Affected Disorder (Low mood due to seasonal changes)
I've suffered from SAD for a while now. It's not always bad for me, it depends, but I am hyperaware of the change in the season, weather, and the length of the days. It's darker, colder, and greyer, so it's not so surprising that it makes us feel low sometimes. If you, like me, want… Continue reading How to relieve feelings of Seasonal Affected Disorder (Low mood due to seasonal changes)
