Twenty-Twenty-Five/Survive/Thrive
A few years ago I noted that I was unironically a fan of Mondays. At the time, I was working in a coffee shop that was closed every Monday, so for me, it was a guaranteed day off and when I would complete any necessary life admin and do a…

The Existential Crisis Persists: A Reflection of 2024
As blogging was supposed to be one of my ‘ins’ for 2024, I probably should’ve tried harder to post this before midnight struck on the 31st of December. However, Cinderella musings aside, I believe it’s a bit easier to reflect on the year gone by when you’re slightly more settled…

My Resolutions for 2022
Hogmanay is not my favourite holiday but I’ll never pass up the opportunity to reinvent myself as a new person who is focused and motivated towards achieving her goals. January is the Monday to end all Mondays (my favourite day of the week) but I do give myself a grace…

It’s Been a Blur
This past year (and a bit), since I last posted on my blog, has been such a rollercoaster that I didn’t know which way was up half of the time. Between studying (and subsequently graduating), working and moving flats I’ve barely had time to collect myself and my thoughts until…

If I Knew Then What I Know Now
I don’t write nearly as many “progress update” blog posts like I used to so that’s a good sign right? It haven’t stopped trying to ‘better’ myself, it just feels like a significantly leas daunting task now. On occasion if I’m having a hard day, I write out my rambles…

As Freely as I Love Others
“In 2019, I hope that I treat myself with respect and realise that I am worth more than I make myself out to be. I hope that I become unapologetic for who I am and stop saying sorry so much. But most of all I hope for 2019 to be…

There Will be no Miracles Here
“There will be no miracles here” This is a great kind of quote for me. It’s not particularly thought-provoking or inspiring but it does match up with the realistic way I want to think about life. I don’t believe in miracles, fate or destiny but in the fact that things…

A Somewhat Independent Woman
It’s been too long since I actually published any sort of life update blog post. That’s not to say that I haven’t started writing many at 3am when I haven’t been able to sleep but none of them have made it past the ramble stage and onto publishing. I still…

A Week of Hell to the Summer of Me
Hello, it’s been a while since I posted a chatty/update blog post of sorts. Whilst this one won’t be as particularly cheerful or optimistic like, ‘19 is My New Favourite Number,’ I’ve been having a rough time recently and needed to let a few things out. I wrote a blog…

19 is My New Favourite Number
I’m definitely one of those people who loves to make a bit of a song and dance out of their birthday. It’s guaranteed that I will have multiple dinners, outfits and drinks to celebrate but as it’s an event that only occurs once a year, I think it’s justified. I…
