So this week’s post is a little different. I’ve written before about the dangers of social media, the comparison and the fake bullshit, but actually, it’s not all bad. For me, Instragram is one of the more positive spaces especially...
Practice What You Preach
March 21, 2018
I have the “preach” part down. I talk a lot about what I’ve learned and how I’ve overcome things. Every day lately seems to be a test. A test of patience, of resilience and of will. It’s not that...
We all have mental health in the same way we all have physical health. Mental health is a scale and we all slide up and down that scale throughout our lives. A study by the NHS Information Centre for...
Conversation, a dying art
January 24, 2018

Blog-iversary
August 25, 2017
A year ago I fucked up an entire wall in my spare room, brainstorming what I could do to make the world a slightly better place. The only thing I could think of (that I might be any good...
I get angry at stuff just like the next person. Mainstream media makes me very angry (even though I try my best to avoid it). Between election bollocks and totally unnecessary and avoidable loss of human life, I’ve been...
Well-Being Winner
May 18, 2017
I’ve been actively engaging in activities that are meant to improve your well-being because right now, it’s what I need. So I’m trying meditation (not going so well), exercise (does walking back and forth to the fridge count?), and...
