Here is my favourite picture (the left) and my least favourite (the right). On the left it’s my first anniversary in 2016; the right is the spring wolf run (10k obstacle run) 2018. I love the first photo because I look typically beautiful. I look sexy and slim and pretty in my new dress and… Continue reading Body Positivity Movement

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”
The Trouble With Matters of the Mind
I think some people struggle with the idea and reality of mental health, mental illness, psychology, mindset and whatever else because the mind is so complex. We are all the same but we're all vastly different, too. 2 + 2 may equal 4 for some people. But for others, it's 3 - 1 that equals… Continue reading The Trouble With Matters of the Mind
Question Your Beliefs
Ever thought about your personal beliefs? Ever thought to question your beliefs? In this post, I discuss why our beliefs are so important.
Why We Get Offended
No matter who you are, we all get offended by things. Offended by a comment or action or information that doesn't sit well with us. This then leads to anger, sadness, personal criticism, or changes in behaviour. But why do we get offended in the first place? Here's why I think we get offended... … Continue reading Why We Get Offended
Why We Need Sadness
Most of us don't like feeling sad. It's one of the emotions that are branded as "negative" and so we avoid feeling it. In fact, we avoid it so much that we deny it. We pretend we're fine when we're not. We'd sooner lie about it than tell anyone the truth of how we feel.… Continue reading Why We Need Sadness
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
