Lost Twenty-Something on Lockdown

March 24, 2020March 24, 2020Leave a comment

Lost Twenty-Something on Lockdown sounds like a pretty shit movie, huh? Yet somehow this has become our actual lives. I’m finding real life so unbelievably surreal. Perhaps it’s because I write fairly apocalyptic fiction—I have not set myself up to be in the best frame of mind about all this!

Losing Your Identity to the Rat Race

September 11, 20192 Comments

We all want to do something we love. If we achieve that we’ll never work a day in our lives, right? So they say. The reality for most of us, though, is we often don’t get much of a choice. We need to do what pays the rent and those jobs are rarely in line … Continue reading Losing Your Identity to the Rat Race

I attended a concert the other week, and during the warm-up act everyone was told to stand, clap, raise their hands, and have a grand ol’ time. Whilst the people around me clearly wanted to stand—they were shuffling in their seats as if to rise—all of them looked around, saw others weren’t standing, and remained … Continue reading Make Memories Don’t Tick Boxes

Mental Health at Christmas

December 17, 2018December 16, 2018Leave a comment

Speaking from behind the filters has always been my goal with this blog and Christmas is one of the most filtered times of the year. Wherever we look people are celebrating with friends in idyllic settings, buying designer goods for their multitude of gorgeous friends, and attending perfectly Dickensian markets. But that's not reality for … Continue reading Mental Health at Christmas
