Many creators talk about writers block or feeling creatively stuck but what about feeling confusion in your creativity? When you have a lot of ideas and feel confused and unsure about where to go with them. This is how I feel at the moment. I started writing a semi-autobiographical story. It felt like a really… Continue reading What to do about creative confusion

I’m not boring. You’re just bored!
I’ve always been called boring. Less so in adulthood, but many times in my developing years. As an introverted, shy girl, I was “boring” to many of my more extroverted peers and family members. But it took me to reach my 27th year to realise that I’m not boring. Not at all! I’m not boring… Continue reading I’m not boring. You’re just bored!
There’s more to you than you think
Sometimes we don’t realise how deep our personality and interests go. Just as a fun exercise, I have written the things I like/about me down below. If you’re nosy, have a nose! But I encourage you to do the same when you feel a little disconnected from yourself. Remind yourself who you are and how… Continue reading There’s more to you than you think
My Sunday Reset Routine
Sundays (or the day before you return to work for a new week) are perfect for shedding off the week and setting yourself up for the week ahead. Here are some of the things I do to reset for a new week on Sundays. (I don’t always complete this list. It’s just the ideal Sunday… Continue reading My Sunday Reset Routine
I want stories to tell
I realised today that I am not a writer. Yes, I write. Yes, I can write well at times. But I am not a writer. A writer, to me, sounds like someone who is an expert; or enjoys it; or is well-practiced in the wielding of words. Words are their tools. They’re a wordsmith. Maybe… Continue reading I want stories to tell
What to do when you’re too tired to write
For two days now, I've felt too tired to write. It's been justified after long days out. We all have those days. Some may say that the best thing to do is to power through. Sure, if that's possible; go ahead. It depends on what you need. Sometimes the kindest thing to do for yourself… Continue reading What to do when you’re too tired to write
Anxiety update
I thought I’d feel different. I said to my sister not long before my wedding day that I felt like once the wedding was done, I’d feel euphoric. All anxiety would slip away. That I’d have done the “hardest thing I’ve ever had to do” and so I’d feel invincible. Makes some sense, right? Overcome… Continue reading Anxiety update
Treat your life like a video game
I was thinking the other day about how our lives are like a video game! Let's see what I mean... Pay attention to the health bar In video games, there is a health bar usually at the top which allows you to see how your character's health is doing. That drops into the red, and… Continue reading Treat your life like a video game
Biracial Hair Journey: the struggle is real
Is it just me, or do you feel like you hate your hair nearly every day? As a biracial woman (white and black Caribbean) I want to embrace my natural hair. To let my curls run free and wild. But I’m really struggling. They’re not… healthy? They’re not curly… enough? And I don’t know how… Continue reading Biracial Hair Journey: the struggle is real
I was wrong
What I wrote on my blog two years ago is probably wrong. Some of it. Maybe a lot of it! What I’m saying this year could be wrong two years from now. Or tomorrow! The point is, I’m wrong. And so are you. I hate this because I like getting things right. I like being… Continue reading I was wrong
