I want to fail. I want things to go wrong because it means I tried. I want to try things again.

Dear reader, it’s been a few days since my last post due to a mixture of being sick and also just not having much to say. I liked the challenge of writing a blog post every month, so I am. But not all the blog posts are ready for publish because I require good photographs…

I did what I’ve done for almost every blog post I started to write this year, I made it too complicated. So this is version 2, the simple version – what I wanted to say without the unnecessary framing that makes me sound more profound than I am. The place I feel the most at…

I’m looking around my house and it’s a mess. Not in the bashful way you apologise for the mess when people have come to visit and your house is spotless. No, my home right now is an honest to goodness mess. I want to say that I don’t know how it’s gotten this bad, to…

I miss blogging, and I don’t want to go into 2020 without writing. You know what the hardest part about writing is? Writing. So I’m just going to do it, I’m going to just write. Here I go. I’m going to write a blog post every day for the rest of the month. So what’s…

It’s been a while. A long while and I’m sorry. Before I go back to my irregularly scheduled posts, I felt like I had to explain why I’ve been away for so long. 2017 was a good year, I’ll go as far as saying that 2017 was an excellent year! I travelled all around the…

When you write down your goals, you’ll have to be confronted with the realities of your successes and your failures. 2016 in Review 2016 was the year of Doing More. While the end of 2016 was a giant dumpster fire of sadness, I’d actually stuck to my goal! Sure, there’s always room for improvement, but nothing…

Hi! It’s 21:03, it’s been almost three weeks since I’ve written a post. I’ve missed you all and felt a little guilty that I haven’t posted any dope content. Sorry team, I let the squad down. Good news, I have a job! It’s essentially my dream job, I get to pew pew and talk to people all…

Well, so that happened. I didn’t plan to walk into work today knowing that this was my last week, I actually wanted to wait it till the end of the month, but life happens and today was the day.  Honestly, even though I know this is the right move I am sad to go. I’ve…

As an English lady, navigating the internet sometimes can be a big mess of confusion. A lot of the media I consume is created for Americans by Americans, so there are times when the jokes, references or stereotypes they go way over my head. Most of the time its fine, I pick things up with context…

I don’t really watch EYK anymore but this video really hit home for me. I had an accident in early 2011 I think, doing what I do best, being active and I was put on high doses of painkillers, (tramadol being one of them). For a while I was great, but the side effects became just too…

2015! What’s my plan for this blog? Well, the same as I’ve always done really. I only want to blog when I have something to blog about. That sounds obvious, but it really wasn’t to me for a long while. I thought that I had to talk even when I had nothing to say, which…

Happy New Year! 2014 is all done, and I’m genuinely really excited for what 2015 will bring. I experienced and learnt so much last year, about myself and the world around me. I graduated with an MSc in Consumer Psychology, became closer with family, discovered I’m lactose sensitive (sobs), saw the Tour de France for…

I had an interesting lecture on the impact of bloggers and blogging in society. From talking to the guest lecturer and a classmate, I realised that I didn’t have an actual focus for this blog. I’d always used blogging as a sort of diary/journal/bibliography thing, but beyond that, what was I actually trying to do here?…
