I’ve not been feeling well recently, and not in the physical way; in more of an emotional way. I’ve not been feeling up to participating in life, my joy in anything and everything has been dwindling, my eyes have been feeling that bit more watery and I’ve had a seething anger burning at the backContinue reading “Love with nowhere to go”

The Happy Checklist
Over the last year or so I’ve not been writing as much. For a long time, I used writing as an escape and a way to cope with feeling the most depressed I had ever been. Even though writing helped me more than anything, it most certainly wasn’t healthy. I needed to take a breakContinue reading “The Happy Checklist”
Self-Destruction Hotel
Silence is heavy and suffocating. My peace is always found in noise; the television I’m not watching, music playing I’m not listening to, or hearing people around me chattering, while I remain quiet – even if I’m not engaging in the noise, it helps me feel less alone. On a regular day, my mind shoutsContinue reading “Self-Destruction Hotel”
The difference between alone, and lonely
It had never occurred to me that there is a difference between being alone, and being lonely. Isn’t that strange? Alone always equalled lonely in my mind, and I can’t remember a time I didn’t believe that miscalculated equation. Alone and lonely felt the same to say out loud; they feel cold and sad. However,Continue reading “The difference between alone, and lonely”
Life Will Always Change
“Oh no!” I shouted as my lamp, and what seemed like a million other things, toppled from my dressing table to the floor. Pulling my phone from my pocket to shine the light behind my draws I saw my small, metal, jewellery box on the floor. It’s the tiniest jewellery box I’ve ever seen; whenContinue reading “Life Will Always Change”
My inner child
A while ago I wrote a couple of blogs around the work I did in therapy on ‘my backpack’. (My Backpack and I Was Lost) My backpack was filled with emotional trauma I had been clinging to throughout my life so far. I emptied the backpack, looked at every part, opened every zip, pocket, andContinue reading “My inner child”
Spirituality and Me. Part 2: The Law of Vibration
Recently I have begun reading a book on manifestation; something I’ve only discovered in recent years. A wonderful friend of mine introduced me to it and would often tell me to put things ‘into the universe’ and trust it would come back if it was meant to. We would often waste time at work attemptingContinue reading “Spirituality and Me. Part 2: The Law of Vibration”
The Blank Space
A friend once told me, “He was just a chapter, not your whole book.” after a relationship I was in had ended. It’s a sentence that has stuck in my mind for many years, and when things come and go, I often find myself thinking about it and just how true it is. Ironically, theContinue reading “The Blank Space”
Faith
Every New Year, one of my best friends and her sister choose a word to take into the next year. A word they need, a word they think reflects where they want to go, or just a word they want to bear in mind throughout the new year. Every year my friend posts it onContinue reading “Faith”
Yours sincerly, my mind.
I know you’re waiting for me, you’re waiting for me to come to visit you. It’s been a while, I know. I’m sorry. You’re waiting for me to tell you your future and let you experience what you’ve begun. I’ll be honest with you, I’m waiting too. The truth is my mind hasn’t been feelingContinue reading “Yours sincerly, my mind.”
