You can always go back. One of the things that I don't think is often considered is that when you leave your comfort zone you can always go back if things don't work out. For example if you make music and usually just keep it to yourself, try putting it out there for people to … Continue reading Going outside your comfort zone
Worth seeking advice from
Just because someone is older than you doesn't mean they're the best person to seek advice from. I think there's a level of vulnerability that comes with asking for advice, to be open and honest enough to say 'Hey, so I'm going through xyz and I just wanted to get some advice from you as I'm … Continue reading Worth seeking advice from
Taking risks in your twenties
Apparently, to quote TLC 'This is how it should be done'. People often say that your twenties are the best time to take risks and explore life. You're young, for many you don't have as many responsibilities like a mortgage, home repairs and children, you might still live at home so you have a lot … Continue reading Taking risks in your twenties
On being content with not becoming a writer
Or at least trying to be. I remember being around 16 or 17 telling a classmate about my writing hobby and that I had thought of doing it as a career.

Thoughts on how we sometimes make ourselves feel worse. In a recent moment I found myself choosing to do something that wasn't making me feel good. Now the details aren't important but the lesson I learnt in the moment is. Imagine you're doing something and you it doesn't feel good. On one hand you can … Continue reading Negative indulgence
Bravery and uncontrollable outcomes
Lately, I've been thinking a lot about risk, personal growth and trying new things. When you do something that challenged you it's only normal that you would want the risk to pay off. And when things work out it's great. You feel good inside because you were brave and it payed off. You'll probably do … Continue reading Bravery and uncontrollable outcomes
Who’s it for?
The answer might surprise you, or not. By 'it' I mean this blog, the words, my writing. I used to think that it was for you, that I was doing this because I had some great message to share with you and that it would hopefully inspire you in some way (or something along those … Continue reading Who’s it for?
