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

The Importance of Friends During a Spiralling Self-Confidence Crisis
My aim with this blog is to always be open and honest. If I can make just one person feel less shitty then spilling all my stuff on the internet is worth it.
