"New Year, New Me" doesn't really work because as the clock strikes 12, we don't actually change. We may have been given a new calendar year, but we are the same people with the same problems and the same bad habits. I don't mean to put a damper on the new year. I for one… Continue reading New Year, Same Me

Different Ways to Live
There is a multitude of lifestyle options out there in the world. I've had so many conflicting feelings in my life since leaving college, and this is because I've been torn between what my heart says and what is presented to me in society. You see, in our western world, we can often get caught… Continue reading Different Ways to Live

What We Did in Paris, France
I know I still owe you a post or two about South Africa - they're coming, I swear - but here is a post about my beautiful weekend trip to France...

“The Fall” – A Poem
For as long as I can remember, I have feared the Fall. That time, they call it September, when things change. The sun retreats behind the clouds. The biting chill comes stalking. And the days shrink away... Leaving only the grey. Then, I inevitably fall. Fall into anxiety. Fall into depression. Fall into self-doubt and… Continue reading “The Fall” – A Poem

Why Writers Get Depressed

Writing Advice NOT to Take
"Never start a story with the weather" - you can do whatever you like, as long as it's not boring! "Write what you know" - yes, you should explore what you know first, definitely. But if you want to write something else, do it! Technically, I started writing a love story before I knew what… Continue reading Writing Advice NOT to Take
