Love? Life? Joy!
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...

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’. Firstly I’m going to admit, I’m lazy with this sort of stuff. My ears are listening but I want someone to physically tell me what they are going... Read the rest of this post...

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. It was the kind of laughter where it could have quite easily been tears, but instead we laughed to ease the pains of being adult and watching unfulfilled dreams... Read the rest of this post...

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...

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...

The other day, I felt stressed. I was getting frustrated with my job, feeling like I wasn’t achieving anything. The quarter life crisis was breathing down my neck for the first time. 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...
