As I'm writing this, I'm in a waiting stage in my life. Where I'm waiting to start a new chapter that hasn't yet begun. This new chapter is uncertain, though hopefully exciting. And it is the waiting that is the hard part, really. It is the waiting that is giving me anxiety. Now for me,… Continue reading Think About It: The Pain of Waiting

Think About It: What Matters Most Isn’t Quantity or Quality
In life, in work, in love and everything else, it's not about quantity... The number of years you live. The amount of money you make or jobs you've worked or skills and qualifications and promotions you obtain. It's not about how many people you've loved or slept with. But it's not about quality, either… Continue reading Think About It: What Matters Most Isn’t Quantity or Quality
Our Coming Out Stories
It's not just LGBTQ+ people that come out to the world. I mean, yes, this phrase is reserved for the ridiculous announcement that gay people seem to have to make to the world saying "hey, I'm gay." This is a conversation I've had with my sister. She came out to me and suddenly with each… Continue reading Our Coming Out Stories
We Don’t “Get Over It”
*It's Mental Health Awareness Week* I was doing my regular head conversation thing and I thought about how some people may say that I "got over" my Social Anxiety (as in the level and intensity that it was when I was younger). As if I grew out of it. As if it was a… Continue reading We Don’t “Get Over It”
Identity: Past, Present and Future
*Part of the Identity Series* For a long time, and sometimes even now, I wanted to be a teacher. I now realise the reason for this was because I wanted to hold on to the school setting forever. For some reason, school has always seemed like a place of comfort to me. Don't get me… Continue reading Identity: Past, Present and Future
24 Life Lessons: 24th Birthday
1 - I am not a fixed person. I can be, do, and think many different things in many different ways and that's OK. 2 - Just because someone doesn't understand you, or you them, does not mean there's anything wrong. 3 - I've accepted that who I am and who I aspire to be… Continue reading 24 Life Lessons: 24th Birthday
The Wrong Personality
The reason I'm writing this post is because last week, I retook the Myers-Briggs Personality Test to see if I was still an I.N.F.J. (I am). I asked my boyfriend and my sister to do the same. I think there's changed. But what I found interesting was something my boyfriend said, "Is mine a good… Continue reading The Wrong Personality
End of the World
The other day my grandfather said something very deep to me, that he could feel the coming of the End of the World. This sounds dramatic and he's a religious man so he was coming from the perspective of the Bible and the Apocalypse. But when I thought about it, I saw that he was… Continue reading End of the World
The Three Morals of My Current Story
My current work in progress is a novel about five young artists at an art school (university) in England. They've all got their fair share of problems and at the school, they are able to confront these and finally better their lives. I wanted the theme of Identity to be at the centre of the… Continue reading The Three Morals of My Current Story
The Definition of Mother
What is a Mother? A mother is not just someone who gives birth to you. A mother is someone who carries you in their arms and promises not to let go. And from the comfort of their arms, life is a little less scary. I've never known a father; not really. But a mother,… Continue reading The Definition of Mother
