Killing Moons (Poem)

Twelve years eight months and nine dayswhen I met you. You said you’d been twelve for a long timebut I didn’t question it. I didn’t care.I longed for the sweet embrace of acceptance,and those insecurities within, obscure and desolate.Your snowflake skin glistened under the fluorescent lampsand your matted hair concealed that jungle gym mind.But you…

My August Reads

Okay I know, we're halfway through September and August feels like a whole season away, but I've been uhming and ahhing about doing this post for a few weeks now. Not because it'll cause controversy or debate, this isn't a matter to take to the Houses of Parliament, but because I just wasn't sure if…

Am I Adulting Correctly?

Quite often I tell myself that I'm going to change. That I'm going to make more of an effort with my life. I tell myself that I'll get up early every morning, shower before breakfast, make some healthy smoothies and have a low cal breakfast, get dressed, and spend the day doing something productive and…

My Anxiety Makes Me Ghost People

Writing this post today seems like the best thing to do because recently I've been up and down with my mental health (I'm currently waiting on a new assessment) and today, in particular, I can feel myself slipping into a cycle of inconsistency. To be quite frank, I feel like disappearing. At the time of…

Exploring London: Part 3

Hooray, we made it! The third and final part! I'll be honest with you, writing these have made me want to go back asap. Of course, we're already kinda planning our next trip for next Summer so that's keeping me motivated. Although this coming trip will be different because two of our friends may be…

Exploring London: Part 1

*okay so before I was even halfway through writing this I realised it would be way too long if I talked about the entire weekend in one post, so I'm posting it in parts instead. If you like this one then be sure to keep your eyes peeled for part 2* Sometimes I get a…

10 Things I Love About… Summer

A few nights ago I had a little brainwave and thought it would be cool to start a monthly series on my blog. Some people do monthly playlist posts, posts about what they've read each month, monthly highlights, etc. But because I want to encourage myself to be more positive, I've decided that my lil…

Having An Active Online Presence Doesn’t Mean You’re Unhappy

Okay so a couple of months ago an article I wrote was published by The Uni Bubble. Back then I was in the middle of a (long term) blogging hiatus, but now that I'm back I've decided to repost it on my own blog. I'll leave the link to the original article at the bottom.…

My First Year of Uni Taught Me…

I don't care what anybody says, university is a massive reality check. I've recently finished my first year (hooray, I made it!!) and I am definitely not the same person I was when I started all those months ago. For starters, I'm now engaged to the love of my life and I'm also a little…
