I have been in a terrible mood this week. Yes, it’s that time of the month and the PMS monster is there. Annoyance levels are multiplied by 1,000%. So when my housemate started to follow me around the house like a lost puppy, trying in his ridiculously considerate way to find out what was wrong and how he could help,...

I had one of those meetings today where senior management had to break it, in a really upbeat way, that essentially services were going to be cut and not everyone would have a job in around 5 years time. That’s OK for me, I’m growing up in the era of temporary contracts rather than ‘a job for life’. Whilst I... Read the rest of this post...

Taking on a challenge. So, about 3 months ago whilst attending my usual weekly kickboxing session, one of the trainers dropped it in that he reckoned I could fight. Not too surprising I guess. I have been kickboxing and sparring for years but I had only been training at a place that does full contact about a year. This would... Read the rest of this post...

I was having the mother of all bad weeks a couple of weeks ago. Things had slowly been piling on top of me at work and, outside of work, my life had been getting incredibly hectic. The combination was slowly wearing me down. What I needed was a break and some kind words from someone close. What I got was... Read the rest of this post...

There’s is no denying it, the election is coming up and I’m trying to make sense of it all wondering who is going to best serve my interests as a ‘young person’.

At the pub the other day with two friends, one of the said, ‘What would our eight year old selves say if they saw us now?’ We all burst into laughter.

Whenever mental health hits the headlines, there is an outpouring of ‘the need to talk about it’. Suddenly over every social media platform there was articles discussing the importance of getting it out in the open, and how we shouldn’t feel uncomfortable talking about it, so the stigma can be reduced and so people can admit when they are struggling....

Some days I have enough problems convincing myself that I am on the right path without other people’s input. Our twenties seem to be filled with mixed emotions and a good dose of doubt. Just when I’m at the point of becoming too wrapped up in this, something will take me by surprise and I will think, I’m not doing... Read the rest of this post...
