A certain story I wrote on my work’s facebook page went viral, a story of the absolute kindness of a woman who challenged a burglar who stole from my work. What I didn’t write about, however, was the police and their part in this. So the morning I got into the shop and realised we’d […]

Spending my free time getting emotional over good vegan food whilst trying to write something worth reading.
Tomorrow is what I’m terrified of.
Breathe. There has been a lot. Of everything. Of those moments you’re so, so busy thinking about something that you’re not breathing. And a panic you don’t even notice or feel builds up but it’s numbness, you don’t seem to need to breathe. Only think. Tomorrow I will breathe, and I will do my job […]
Tomorrow is… next week. Oh shit.
OOPS! I kept up with this new ‘project’ for… *drum roll in my mind violently clashes with the Sigur Ros playing on Spotify*… TWO DAYS! I managed two whole days of writing and publishing in a row! Wow. And my explorations of my own feelings towards myself about achieving this? Well, I’m disappointingly shaking my […]
Tomorrow is Tuesday 5th January
I don’t like the numbers and the decimals. I like long, drawn out things and constancy. Tomorrow is a long(ish,), full day I am excited for. And I wish for some honesty. I wish I could be wholly honest but that is not the expectation, the expectation is only to be kind, and firm, and […]
The Tomorrow Project
This project will be an exploration of my anxiety around fulfilling my own expectations of myself. Of actually fulfilling expectations and of letting myself down over avoiding the simplest of tasks.
This daily project is a note to myself, asking me to fulfill certain tasks the next day – shopping lists, reminders to eat breakfast, inspiration, mood goals. We will see how each day goes.
Mad Max, ethical consumption, & burying our heads in the sand
I did love the movie, it’s left many coming out of the theatre feeling powerful, bubbling with joyful exclamations of all the things we felt the film represented and attacked, overtly and subtly. There have been many praising the movie’s glaring take on where our values are taking us as a society, and of the […]
5 slightly different reasons why Marvel’s Daredevil is the most relatable series out right now
We may have read the articles –which I have deeply enjoyed – about the humanization of the characters, the terrifying resilience and audience-softening vulnerabilities of our heroes and villains alike, of the gritty fight scenes, dark DC-like cinematography, and the steady and gripping flow of the one, main compelling story from one episode to another. […]
Two more days to experience Oxford’s ‘somnium mundi’.
HATCH, located Little Clarendon street in Jericho, currently holds ‘somnium mundi’ – the work of Oliver Wortley, an artist and individual who was, and still is, able to translate the way he experienced his emotional and physical journeys on earth into tangible pieces of art. The opening night was a gathering of art-students, family, […]
Switching off, switching on: what is self-care ~ to me, to you?
What is self-care? The term self-care has been synonymous with recovery – from addiction and illness, to breakdowns – and is about the steps and experiences to get you on the path to being as well as you can be. It’s about pouring acts of love into chasms of hurt, or numbness, or anxiety. Chronic […]
Sai Mai Waiting; 1 and 2
Give me sleepy, slow moments
and half-murmured conversations
about nothing important,
but everything worth saying
to us.
I long for that constant image
circling
around, and around
in my mind, almost like
a memory that won’t let go.
