I’ve been thinking about my journey as a writer lately and I’ve shared some of that already, but I want to go a bit deeper. Next year, I am not setting the goal of pursuing a good story for publishing. I don’t want to think about publishing anymore. I think I need to forget that… Continue reading Writing goals and aspirations: do I want to be an author anymore?

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
Is travelling for everyone?
I have agonised over this for a long time. I’m 28 and I’ve visited only 10 countries in my lifetime. Obviously, I’ve visited some more than once, but I think my count is just 10. By today’s standards, that’s low. My generation and younger are the TRAVELLERS! They have backpacked across southeast Asia and interrailed… Continue reading Is travelling for everyone?
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
The Power of Routines
I think the most successful people are those with routines that work for them. Routines are systems or habits for the things you need to do that are natural and scheduled so they become familiar and expected. This may seem boring to some, but routines work in our favour… Firstly, they take the decision-making out… Continue reading The Power of Routines
What Causes Indecision?
One of the things I’ve been wrestling with lately is indecision. That’s it in a nutshell. Full of options and lacking the clarity or confidence to know which path to walk. Indecision leads to paralysis; decision fatigue and analysis paralysis from thinking too much and not taking action. It’s draining. It feels physically painful at… Continue reading What Causes Indecision?
Be specific with your words when defining what you want
Words hold a lot of meaning but a lot of that meaning is personal. Yes, there is a dictionary definition for most words but how we understand them can be influenced by culture, upbringing, change, the times we live in, and context. I thought about this today because I was saying to myself that I… Continue reading Be specific with your words when defining what you want
