To my Best Friends…

I was having a conversation with a mate of mine recently about last year, for both of us it was the worst year of our lives so far. Recalling some pretty dark moments and feelings I noticed things I hadn’t really paid attention to before. My friends were everything to me last year, I wasContinue reading “To my Best Friends…”

HAPPY ONE MONTH

Heyyyy I’m finally getting back on track with writing posts and scheduling them, so I’m not constantly stressed. I’m currently writing this on the 8th of August in what is undoubtedly unbearable heat; I am basically melting.  I just want to say thank you to everyone who has read any of my posts, we’re almost atContinue reading “HAPPY ONE MONTH”

Learning to Love Myself enough to not need a Relationship

Hiyaaa There is more of my life that I have hated myself than loved. That upsets me. I have done so much in my twenty-one years on this planet to look back and think that majority of it I have hated myself is honestly tragic. I went through stages hating my personality, most of myContinue reading “Learning to Love Myself enough to not need a Relationship”

My Depression Journey

Heyyy I have been really struggling to write a blog post on anxiety recently, I begin writing and end up in a state of panic which ruins the rest of my day. I didn’t realise how much speaking about this type of stuff would trigger my memory and my ‘flight’ reflex. I have a tendencyContinue reading “My Depression Journey”

Heyyyy, Before I get into this topic, I just want to say that I am so incredibly grateful for the support this blog is getting. I never ever expected to have so many views so early on, or even ever, and to know that the audience is wider than just in the UK where mostContinue reading “Debunking University: Is it really the best years of your life?”
