This poem by Derek Walcott is one of my favourites. I studied it in High School and it came up on my exam, I got an A. However, it is only now that I am older and have experienced life a little bit that I realise that I never understood what this poem is about. … Continue reading Livin’ La Vida Loner

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)

Being Mildly Motivated: An Abusive Relationship with Yourself
One thing that I have learnt never to underestimate is my ability to avoid doing stuff. These tasks are unlimited in their variety; all that is certain is that if I feel as though I ‘should’ be doing it, a lot of the time I won’t be. Not doing/starting/completing things is not especially out of … Continue reading Being Mildly Motivated: An Abusive Relationship with Yourself
An Introduction
Hi potential readers, I just wanted to personalise this pre-made feature thing (I can't stand looking at stock posts) and sort of give an intro into what I'm doing on here, so I guess this is going to act as my first blog post. Essentially, the title of my site sums it up. I am … Continue reading An Introduction
