A number of my friends and family have shared difficulties they have had with their workplace now that they are facing illness (physical or mental) and it's shining a light on the ugly core of capitalism. Why are the low points of your employees' lives such an inconvenience? Why is supporting your employees through struggle… Continue reading Capitalism Breeds Heartlessness: Workplaces Don’t Support Our Lows

Saying Goodbye: Mourning the End of a Chapter
That's it, our last day in this house. A house that felt like home since 2022. A place that saved us from our last rented home which didn't turn out too well in the end. Convenient location, perfect size, space to make our own. And while we are moving on to bigger and better (hopefully),… Continue reading Saying Goodbye: Mourning the End of a Chapter

Consider some different goals / resolutions this year
As 2025 comes to a close, everyone is reflecting on their year and thinking up goals and resolutions for 2026. I invite you to ditch the overdone basics and think outside of the box!

Live Your Timeline
This is a reminder that we all have different timelines. There is no age or stage in life that we all achieve the same things. Some people will never do what you do, or what I do. Some people will do those things years ahead or years after. The point is: it doesn’t matter. At… Continue reading Live Your Timeline
Summer is for…
Long books for the long days Flowy trousers allowing space Blades of grass tickling between toes Early rises to catch the sunrise Barbecue smoke lifting the air Cute picnic dates with your friends in the park Fresh fruit bowls outside in the morning air Lemon wedges and ice cubes in tall glasses, condensation rolling down… Continue reading Summer is for…
The problem with school holidays
Firstly, I accidentally broke my daily streak! When I realised this morning, I felt upset. But how can I be? I worked hard and showed up to write something everyday for 41 days in a row. That’s amazing. To get to 30 is great, to get to 40 is fantastic. I also couldn’t manage the… Continue reading The problem with school holidays
Our misconceptions about summer
Ah summer, the endlessly long days of sunshine and energy. Everyone wants to do things and be outside and socialise and take the world by storm. We come out of our winter slumber, ready to hit the road running. Except, summer isn’t perfect. If you live in places like the UK, you probably didn’t even… Continue reading Our misconceptions about summer
There is no big revelation: you just need to rest
Sometimes, the right thing was staring you in the face the whole time. We want something else to work so badly that we miss what was already right there in front of us. People too busy chasing the super hot guy, miss the loveable best friend character right beside them. People chasing millions and fame,… Continue reading There is no big revelation: you just need to rest
Maybe we can never truly understand ourselves
The mind, the brain, it’s a crazy thing. We use it to understand it. What a paradox. How utterly impossible a feat. Psychology aims to understand and categorise but I fear we never will, and that’s both beautiful and terrifying. We have all these convenient hacks for the brain. How to optimise the mind. I’m… Continue reading Maybe we can never truly understand ourselves
