“The Ballad of Me and My Brain”

I know what you're thinking. I haven't posted on here in a while and now I'm back with a really intense post. But really, would this be something written by me if it wasn't intense??? This is probably going to be a long one so I hope you're strapped in and ready for the ride.In…

Ebooks vs Physical Books

I love books.Books in all different shapes, sizes, colours, forms, genres. I just love them all. But we live in a digital society and so, it's only natural to digitize books, right? I'll be honest, I was a harsh critic when the first ever kindle was dropped onto the scene. I was one of those…

My Love/Hate Relationship With Blogging

So I'm going to say something now and I know that if one of my lecturers were ever to read this, then she would be cursing me right now. She'd be saying variants of "do not make sweeping statements/generalise about these things! We need a citation!" and in any other circumstance I would accept that…

An Affair With Nostalgia

Sometimes I look at you and I think"Yeah, I could do this for the rest of my lifeWe could really do this."Other times I look at you andI crave that tranquil solitude I used to be best friends withBefore this thing they call “love" became involvedLike a messy triangle with its edges frayed and blunt.…

Chatty Little Update

Where have you been? What have you been up to? How are you? What's new with you? Okay so I know very few people actually care, but I thought I'd do a little update anyway. It's a new year and I still haven't blogged yet so hopefully this will be my way back into it.…

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. Among many other much more serious human flaws that I won't get into, is our fantastic ability to take other people's opinions of…
