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

How to actually grow and be successful in 2024
The theme for 2024 for me is playfulness and calm. I want to chill the F out a bit. There’s a lot that goes into this theme, not just buzz words that can be interpreted in different ways but in terms of this post, in order to be successful in 2024, you need to bring… Continue reading How to actually grow and be successful in 2024
My vision for the New Year
I love new years. I’m one of those poetic and hopeful souls who places a lot of meaning on the blank calendar and sees the end of a year as a closing of a chapter. I like to plan and think in terms of seasons, months and years. It’s neat and helps things feel simpler.… Continue reading My vision for the New Year
Stop Breaking Promises You’ve Made to Yourself
A youtuber I watch called Muchelle B mentioned in a video that a large part of low self-esteem and failed goals is about constantly breaking promises we make to ourselves. And since I watched that video, I’ve seen how true this is. In the half term break from work, I said I wanted to try… Continue reading Stop Breaking Promises You’ve Made to Yourself
Graduating at 28: a reflection
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
How to master yourself and your life
The secret to mastering yourself and your life is two things: routine and consistency alongside adaptation and flexibility. You may be thinking that these are two contrasting things! Well, it’s because you need different things and different times and the secret third ingredient to success which is self-awareness/conscious attention. I love simplifying things. Self-mastery is… Continue reading How to master yourself and 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
