Even too much of a good thing can be too much.

I like to think I’m pretty good at self-care, but I’ve come to realise I’m actually pretty terrible at it. Despite writing about it, learning about it and reading countless articles about it, I am still not quite able to get the hang of it. I seem to get mixed up between what I shouldContinue reading “Even too much of a good thing can be too much.”

People can be wrong.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve always been the kind of person to take on other people’s opinions of myself. I’m a bit of a sponge to those around me, which has always been my downfall.

Recently I was tagged in a post by my friend on Facebook. It was a letter she wrote to her ten year old self, she had written a couple of sentences about me in it, which was lovely, but as I read it I began to wonder, what would I tell my ten year oldContinue reading “A letter to me of the past.”

2020 – The year I survived, and thank God I did.

It’s that time of the year when we look back and become reflective about the year we’ve just lived. In some ways this year feels like it has been about ten years rolled into one, and in other ways it feels like the quickest year known to mankind! For decades to come, 2020 will beContinue reading “2020 – The year I survived, and thank God I did.”
