I said this would be my year, the year I got at least one duck in my row, but alas it isn't. Surprise! My mum told me today there's no way I'm going to have the money to move out in the next three months. No way I'd get one of the thousands of jobs … Continue reading I Said This Would Be My Year

Dear Customer
As of this week I’m back working in customer service. It’s coming into the season here in Cornwall (Easter break!) so a few part time positions have come up around the village.

The Truth About Perfection (Birthday Ramble)
The truth about perfection is it doesn’t exist. Yet, we see it every minute of every day online. Especially on birthdays. I thought I’d be a bit different this year. Instead of a haul or a boast about how amazing my life is, or how lucky I am, I’m going to share my unfiltered reality... … Continue reading The Truth About Perfection (Birthday Ramble)
Introduction
Hi, I’m a millennial, and like most of us I have no effing clue where my life is going. I have dreams, sure, but the reality right now is pretty bleak. It’s zero-hour contracts, temporary jobs, and no idea whether things are going to get better or not. It’s still living at home with my … Continue reading Introduction
