The other day I was reminded of a small thing that brought me straight back to my childhood. It was an interest of mine. I wondered why that interest had ever disappeared. I was quite self-assured when I was younger. I was aware that people used to make fun of me for the way I looked or for my unusual... Read the rest of this post...

It really concerns me that people around me seem to be constantly dieting and trying to lose weight. Why should I have such an interest in this? Surely people can do what they want to their own body? Of course they can but the problem, for me, is that it seems as if it’s primarily women who are constantly having this... Read the rest of this post...

Fuck, I’m nearly 25 and what have I achieved? It feels like now that I’m in work, the years are passing by without much differentiation between them, other... Read the rest of this post...

My word, I am only 24 and last month I was getting the ‘So, is there anyone special in your life?’ talk from certain members of my family. I guess it doesn’t help that my older sister is getting married. My answer was quite simply and honestly: ‘There’s nobody you need to know about, and it will be a long...

So I didn’t fulfil my plan of spending this New Year’s somewhere awesome, outside of my home town and not going into panic mode about where to go and how to spend it. In fact, this year my New Year’s Eve will most likely be spent in my house, trying to stay awake until midnight whilst munching on a takeaway. There is... Read the rest of this post...

They want to gather more followers and connect with people and... Read the rest of this post...

Over the weekend, I read in the news that Obama’s teenage girls were on the receiving end of some Twitter abuse for not being dressed ‘respectfully’ enough. Elizabeth Lauten, Communications Director for Republican Stephen Fincher, criticised the girls’ characters, based on their attire: ‘Dress like you deserve respect – not a spot at a bar’. Interesting, I thought. If that... Read the rest of this post...

There comes a time when we depart the normal world and enter… the world of work! Welcome to the business world: the world of corporate buzzwords, LinkedIn and ego massaging. If you have ever done a bit of copy writing or gone to a writing workshop, you may have been told to cut out the jargon. This is so important and... Read the rest of this post...

Arrrgghhh! Why am I so bloody awkward?!?! I am, unfortunately, one of those people who embarrasses easily. This has come from my younger years, those who have ever been made fun of when you were younger will know that feeling of shame – and it stays with you forever.

Sometimes, we have a vision of how our lives will be. Very rarely is this ever carried off into reality. Imagine when it does and it’s the glorious moment where the film director articulates the book as if they were reading your own imagination. However this is very rare. When I was younger, and I used to think about what... Read the rest of this post...
