I am a tentative waterfall who really does know its way after all,
and the warmth of the rocks I flow over, it’s calling to me
Bhrahami invoked; vibrations spill from my mouth and my fingertips.
Mountain strong, legs of supporting stone,
and shoulders of elastic. They carry me forwards.
“Be a whole person. Alone. Be okay with being alone. Be whole in myself. Don’t allow anybody else to rule my happiness. My happiness belongs to me, and I choose when to share it.”
Hitting rock bottom is a strange thing. Because sometimes you’re certain you’ve hit it, and then something else happens and you go “oooh, no. Now I’ve hit it.” or you might not even realise you’re at rock bottom at the time of rock-bottoming. It’s only when you’re looking back and go “ah, okay. That time […]
I guess I’ve been pretty quiet about what’s going on with me recently. Just lots of lunch pics on instagram, vagueness about what I’m up to, and sharing when I’m feeling positive and staying quiet when the negativity has been overwhelming.

I’ll run after your peppy annoying ass with a machete and you’ll be more flexible for yoga because you’ll […]
Today, I had an interview. I walked out ten minutes in after saying my piece, and also made a friend of a fellow interviewee in the process. He left too, and off we went to the pub at midday to laugh about our weird scam-job experience with Pantheon. After my first interview on Friday I […]
I did it! I left the country! For the first time in foreeeeveeer! (okay a year and half feels like forever). Aaaand yes, it was a trip I can’t really afford and yes, it was a present for Gigi that was also a present for me, and YES, it was my favourite spontaneous decision of […]
A guide to Vegan Christmas, ish. Things to buy your vegans for next year, things to eat and make for next Christmas, or just in general, as a vegan. Also a little bit about my 2 day long Christmas and how cute and happy and chill it was. After living on crisps, avocado and ‘vegan […]
So 2016 did suck, in general. But it had some moments of beauty and fun and peace – if it didn’t, I wouldn’t be here right now. I want to end this year on a note of positivity. And if I can, I think the rest of us might be able to find some good […]
