  • grief and the things left unsaid

    These past few weeks have been filled with the largest amount of pain I have ever experienced in my life. Burying my Mum and watching the grief that has washed across my family has been an absolute fucking tidal wave. I spent years preparing for these moments, working hard to know internally that the relationship…

    TW: I speak of death in this story. Please stop reading here if that is uncomfortable for you, I won’t be offended. đź’ś Growing older brings you many things; the joys of watching your nephews and niece grow old, the sadness that comes with burying grandparents as it becomes their time to go back into…

  • Mother’s Day

    I didn’t choose to write this today, something literally compelled me to come to the keyboard and put what’s going through my mind into words. An energy inside of me knows that this will help someone whether they are at the start or the end of their journey, whereas something externally is guiding me to…

  • becoming secure

    A few years ago I wrote a story titled the love inside of you and in that story I go in detail about how I let go of a past partner that had, for a long time being a major pillar in my life. While at the end of writing that story I felt like…

  • the past year

    Finishing therapy almost two years ago was a wonderful but terrifying feeling, I had no idea what I was going to do for the hour that I would no longer be sitting in my therapist’s sun filled room. Quite a few people have asked me why I haven’t written in a while and I really…

  • the gifts of therapy

    Everything we come to know in life isn’t everything we think it is…the gentle breeze that flows from one tree to another, the hand that touches another’s as they walk down a tree covered park, the memory of a kiss in a stadium of cheers as the world sneaks away… leaving only the two of…

  • the impermanence of life

    We are currently a part of a fragment in time of our own lives moving along a continuum with an ending that we all know we will have. I find that to be a strange concept on its own. That at some point, we are no longer going to be here, and all that will…

  • the love inside of you

    I’ve been toying with the thought of writing this story for a very long time, but I kept finding myself getting stuck at certain points or finding distractions that meant I wouldn’t have to keep writing it. I came to the realisation it was taking me so long to write this because I felt like…

  • the importance of kindness

    Cliche title, right? I think I see that line almost every second day in my instagram feed, either a post from one of the many “inspirational pages” I follow or from someone who’s sharing it in the hopes that someone reads it and does something with what they see. Sound familiar?Sometimes I really wish we…
