In an age where we can create our own platforms and put our voices out there I often ask myself if I should be doing more. Granted I have 2 blogs alongside working full-time and studying part-time but writing on my blog is something that is so safe and familiar to me that I wonder … Continue reading Is a 9-5 enough?

Do nothing
Maybe what you need is to go back to simplicity to sitting down on the sofa with a cosy fleece jacket on and your favourite music playing as you do nothing. In this day and age it's almost become uncomfortable to do nothing which is why so often when we take a break from our … Continue reading Do nothing
Do you remember 4 years ago?
I recently bumped into someone that I hadn't seen in 4 years. Sure we follow each other on social media but we don't interact with each other much. So what was so amazing is that things fell right into place as though no time had passed, in the best possible way. This person even brought … Continue reading Do you remember 4 years ago?
The generosity of strangers
There are people I've never met and will probably never meet that have impacted my life more than many people in my life. I love that through youtube, newsletters, blogs, instagram and twitter, I'm able to consume things that have the ability to change or impact my life on a daily basis. It's all down … Continue reading The generosity of strangers

Easier done than said
Over the past month or so I've been thinking about how much time I spend on social media in comparison to how much I get out of it. The end result was logging out of twitter and a week or so later I deleted the app from my phone. The only time I use it … Continue reading Easier done than said
It’s not jealousy
I used to think that I was jealous of people online because they had more than I did. More money, more friends, more clothes, more holidays, longer hair etc. I used to think that I wanted what they had or that I wanted a life more like theirs. But that isn't the case, the truth … Continue reading It’s not jealousy
Wasted curiosity
Whilst browsing on Instagram a week or so ago I came across the account of someone that I haven't seen in years. My curiosity got the better of me and I clicked to see what was on their feed. It was one of those times where I knew I didn't need to look but I … Continue reading Wasted curiosity
Making an announcement
We've all probably noticed how we feel this compulsion to make announcements online about what we're getting up to in our lives. Towards the end of last year I decided to de-clutter my social media. I felt this need to post about it on Twitter, to put it out there that I was at a … Continue reading Making an announcement
