Skint, single and speaking about it.

Be Kind to yourself (continued)

The above image is a passage taken from a book that really resonates with me. I have written a piece entitled 'Be Kind To Yourself' before, but I don't feel as though it is a topic that can be exhausted. It is too important and, in my opinion, not spoken about enough. The passage focuses … Continue reading Be Kind to yourself (continued) →

We Are Only Responsible For Ourselves

Ok, I love this picture and everything it stands for. Too often are we tricked into thinking we are responsible for the actions or happiness of others, when in reality that couldn't be further from the truth. Sure we have a responsibility to be aware of how our own actions will effect other people, but … Continue reading We Are Only Responsible For Ourselves →

How the Spice Girls are still spicing up lives in 2019

If you were alive from 1990 onwards then there is a very large chance that you, at the very least, know who the Spice Girls are. If you have only been alive for a month or have lived out the majority of your life in the jungles of Papa New Guinea then you may have … Continue reading How the Spice Girls are still spicing up lives in 2019 →

Be Kind To Yourself

When I do my daily binge of social media, I am accustomed to seeing many posts which present a thinly veiled statement of what the sharer thinks about them-self.

The Difference in a Decade: 2009-2019

2009, I think, was an underrated year. I am also aware, that not many people agree with me on this topic. The word ‘iconic’ is thrown around far too liberally nowadays, but in this case I am tempted to use it. I’m not sure why it holds such a special place in my heart, 2004 … Continue reading The Difference in a Decade: 2009-2019 →

Build your 2019

I came across this picture during one of my daily social media trawling sessions and it really made me smile. Not only is the illustration sweet but the message is surprisingly relevant and poignant. Contrary to popular belief, the world does not owe us anything. We are not owed success, we are not owed happiness … Continue reading Build your 2019 →

Your Resolution Remedy

Here we go, the glittering mirage of 2019 had arrived and so the rumbles of the oncoming avalanche of resolutions can be heard, if they haven’t already snowed your Facebook under. Strap in for the onslaught of ‘New Year, New Me’ and claims of 2019 being everyone you knows’ year. Despite the above cynicism, I … Continue reading Your Resolution Remedy →

Living a Life of Leisure (Centres)

In my previous posts, I have touched on two topics which affect my life: vanity and motivation, so it only feels right for the third post to combine them. In 2013, I left my life as I knew it and moved to Sheffield for University. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to me, I was leaving my body, as … Continue reading Living a Life of Leisure (Centres) →
