The Truth About Mental Illness and Toxicity

Mental illness is talked about more frequently nowadays but there always seems to be a part of it that is ignored, more often than not. And I think it's because people don't want to admit it. Mental illness can turn you into a toxic person. Admitting that you are or have been a toxic person…

2019: A Reflection

So 2019 has been... interesting.Tis the season for reflection. December is the month that everyone starts to look back on everything they have accomplished (and not accomplished) over the past year, before setting themselves some goals for the year ahead. I, clearly, am no different as you can probably guess by the title. I figured…

Kungsträdgården

If I had the gift of sight, then I’d be able to watch sun beams dance, upon water that is full of life. If I could hear, the birds singing their innocent melodies would put a spring in my step. If I could touch, I’d be able to feel the delicate skin of my loved ones beneath my fragile fingertips. If I…

My Experience With: Being Homeless

From the title you're probably imagining me sleeping on streets and begging for money, but that was not my homeless experience. Fortunately, might I add. But I was still technically classed as homeless nonetheless. At age seventeen my mother decided, to be brutally honest, that she'd had enough of being a parent (although I'll admit…

Other People’s Opinions Of You Don’t Matter

Us humans are a very strange bunch. There's more than seven billion people on this beautiful planet and I reckon more than half of us aren't aware of our full potential yet.

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…
