Back in High School, there was a sign that sat on my desk.My science teacher, Mr Hannaford, toward the end of the lesson would ask me if I was going to entertain the extra questions in the textbooks. He told me they were optional but reinforced what we’d learned. The...

That pent up rage, which you ignore from one day to the next… that discomfort, unease, not wanting to accept what’s all around you, and yet… you deal, you handle, you shut it down, put up with it a little more. Hell, it’s the story of your life… just deal, keep going,...

Well… first comes the conversation… actually, no… first comes the idea. The thought. The realisation, followed by the acceptance that something isn’t right. It’s taking a break amidst the chaos, looking at what’s going on around, and rather than frantically saving...

Why is it so vital for children go back into schools right now?Why was it so important for the youngest children to go back first? Take away all the reasoning like “It’s the right thing for children, they can be educated in a safe COVID-secure way. We should be...

Ugh, it’s so condescending, isn’t it?Here you go… well done, you did a good job, here’s a gold star ⭐️Yeah, sometimes it’s funny and ironic (like when you finally do the housework) but when it comes to life?? Come on… who are we kidding? I get that it’s a fun way to...

I journal every day.Well, almost, I miss a day here and there, sometimes I miss a week, then feel all funky about it… Alright… I journal most days. Most of em. I aim for daily though.And it’s not always easy and sometimes it’s clunky. Sometimes I barely write a page,...

There’s stress around knowing, and having all the answers before we even hear the questions or get to the end.We spend so long needing to know that we end up not doing a damn thing. It’s conditioned into us. Just look at how we spend our early years; taught endlessly...

Slow, slow, slow… slow… stop Ugh, it’s so boring, all the slowing down.But you should, you need to.You need to step away from the push push pushing of life and all its chaos and crazyBut then you slow so much you get to a crawl, then you stop, and then what...

I don’t care how much you want to create for the sake of your children, or their future, or whatever else, none of that matters if you don’t create space for yourself. Stop trying to live your life in martyrdom for someone else.Stop trying to give everything you’ve...

Are you being all of you?I mean 100% fully, all of you, unapologetically, no holds barred…When are you ever truly being all of you? It’s an interesting question when you dig into it. You notice all the times you downplay this, emphasise that, always just tweaking...

AKA: Get over yourself already! Why spend £1000 on a computer, when you can pick one up for £100?Why spend £100 on a pair of boots when you can pick up some that look the same for £10 Well… you know why? BECAUSE IT’S NOT ABOUT THE MONEY!!!!It’s about the value.Yours....

I wish I knew the words to say… But then, I’ve already said many of them. (It was never about a skirt!) It was about something so much deeper, a lesson that still needs to be learned. All that is happening, that happens in the world, whether 100 years ago, 1000 years...

A snake sheds its skin to survive. To grow. If it didn’t, it would die. Suffocate. Humans shed approx 1.6lb of flesh per year. Our cells all regenerate depending on the cellular lifespan, typically 7 years (all but the neurons in our brains, which last a lifetime)...

Sometimes, I just don’t care and there are things I just don’t want to fucking do. It really is THAT simple! I don’t care I don’t want to I’m not going to I don’t. And I’m sick of being told that I should, or I have to, or whatever other bullshit, because that’s how...

Who am I kidding, of course I did. Here’s how things are supposed to work; You grow up, go through school, study, learn, get the certificate(s), work, work some more, gain the traction, get the “results”; the pay rise, the promotion, etc, and then you’re allowed to be...
