Modern dating is a freakin’ MINEFIELD and ghosting is a really, really unfortunate part of it all. For those lucky enough to not know, ghosting is “the practice of ending a personal relationship with someone by suddenly and without explanation withdrawing from all communication.“ The fun thing about ghosting is that it’s happened forever – […]
2018 has been kinda crazy. I started it listening to pop punk and I’ll be damned if I don’t finish it listening to pop punk. There’s no way I could reflect on this year without bringing up The Event. I’ve purposefully not brought this up much, I guess because, while it was a huge change […]
Call me a Media Studies grad but I love to find hidden meanings where there probably aren’t any. And if you’ve had the pleasure of hanging out with me for the last month or so, you’ll probably be sick to death of hearing me talk about arm chairs. But – praise to the chair gods […]
I very clearly remember the first time someone told me I was funny, when I had been funny on purpose, obvs. I was young, at the kids’ table in a restaurant somewhere in Surrey, and was learning, I suppose, how to improvise. Now I’m not saying I’m hilarious – I won’t be doing stand-up or […]
I had a spiral, and it was a big one. I guess the quickest way to explain what happened is this: I got drunk, and then I got sad. I was feeling anxious before getting drunk, so thought that having some drinks would help me “loosen up” or whatever. I was feeling anxious whilst getting […]
When I was little, I loved a handful of things: reading, writing, talking, and watching films. In year 4, I wrote a poem that used the word ‘crystallised’ and I think I won some kind of award for it. I also learned the word ‘disgruntled’ and wrote a two-page story on a disgruntled troll and […]
If you’ve spoken to me at any point in the last few months you can probably vouch for what I’m about to say: I have been drinking too much, staying up too late, sending stupid texts, and palming it all off as ‘putting myself first’. I haven’t been doing that at all, really. I mean […]
A couple of things have happened recently that I’m not super proud of. I mean, there’s definitely more than a couple but there’s only some I’m willing to put on the internet. The first thing came about when someone I recognised, but had never spoken to, from uni asked me if I used to have […]
In a strange turn of events, I’m in a park eating dried mango by the handful and I’m feeling OKAY. I wrote ‘good’, initially, but I didn’t wanna go too far into the realm of fiction today. But ‘okay’ is still a pretty fine way to be feeling; I’ve bought Amy Poehler’s audiobook and I […]
I wrote a pretty long post (like, hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of words) about my evening, and the anxiety spiral that absorbed my entire consciousness for a pretty large chunk of it. I went into detail about the beginning of tonight’s spiral – how I ignored the deep hum in my chest, even when […]
