You're 23, living at home with your partner and dog, have a supportive family who let you try for your dream while contributing little financially. What problems could you possibly have?

Are We Supposed to Hate Work?
There are a great many people who think that they are supposed to hate their work. That "work is work" and therefore it's not enjoyable; it's just a sad part of life because we all need money.

New Beginnings
What the New Year means to me Not, "New Year, New Me". Not "New Year's Resolutions". Not trying to fix every "bad" thing in your life. Not going 100mph into every goal and dream you've ever had then inevitably burning out. Nope. No. Uh-uh. For me, the New Year means a clean slate. A fresh… Continue reading New Beginnings
15 Things I Learned in 2018

Why I Talk About Mental Health
Of course, the first reason I write about mental health and self-development is to help people. No, not because I am some expert or because my life is so great and my MH is in tiptop condition. But because I believe that sharing any advice and tips can really help someone to make changes. If what I say gives someone an idea that then helps make their lives or their MH a little better, then job well done.
How to Make Better Life Decisions
I don't know about you, but I am rubbish at decision making! I nearly always second-guess myself and give myself a headache with all the overthinking *sigh*. Aside from pros and cons lists, decision making can be tough. And there's been times when a pros and cons list just hasn't been enough to help me… Continue reading How to Make Better Life Decisions
Cheer for Yourself
I will be honest, this post comes from a place of upset and is emotionally driven - but I felt it would be important to share. I look around my living room at home and you know what I see? Pictures of my brother's graduation, my mother's graduation, my sister's trampolining and gymnastics competition photos,… Continue reading Cheer for Yourself
