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.”
The Curse of Being ‘All In’
I am most certainly an all in kind of person. I have always been more selfless than selfish. You need some company? I’m there, even if I’m miles away. Need an arm or a leg? Which one? I’ve got two of each! Being all in is a big part of my personality and I amContinue reading “The Curse of Being ‘All In’”
Indulge in Nothingness.
My world is loud. Too loud sometimes. Both externally and internally, and it often gets too much. Being busy every day creates a very loud world: The hustle and bustle of people, and music while I shop. Screaming children, cages and pallets rolling by, and callouts being shouted over the tannoy while I’m at work.Continue reading “Indulge in Nothingness.”
Life With No Plans
If there’s one thing I love in life, it’s a plan. Whether it’s what my day looks like, a coffee date with a friend on my calendar, or a life plan, like to have children or get married. Plans help me feel as if I have some kind of control in my life, but whatContinue reading “Life With No Plans”
Be Who You Need
“Be the person you needed when you were younger.” It’s a powerful quote I see float around on the internet quite often; a quote I once found empowering. A quote that, at one time, fit in my soul like a perfectly measured puzzle piece. But as they do, my life and soul have changed shapeContinue reading “Be Who You Need”
Spirituality and Me. Part 1: Ghosts.
If there’s one thing I love to talk about, it’s all things spiritual! Ghosts, past lives, the afterlife, tarot, premonitions… need I go on? So, I thought I would begin a series of spiritual blogs here on my website! I am never going to move away from talking about my life and mental health, butContinue reading “Spirituality and Me. Part 1: Ghosts. “
