Nearly a year ago, a new girl started work and she is now one of my best friends, I even went to her wedding. It’s strange, isn’t it? Those rare moments when you meet someone and you just click. In some ways you are such different people with different lives, but it’s like you have known each other forever. It’s... Read the rest of this post...

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...

Everyone in my life seems to like my trendy new hair, however trend is not something I pay much attention to… I actually cut off my long, lovely, feminine hair to be able to make a donation for little...

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...

We make ourselves feel guilty about all manner of things. Appearance, weight, eating, drinking, exercise, accidents, things we’ve said or done… I feel I have wasted days, months, maybe years of my life on guilt and regret. I tend to beat myself up about all kinds of stuff. I am ambitious and competitive. I hate not being the best I... Read the rest of this post...

It’s time to be honest, every now and then I compare myself to others. Sometimes it’s other writers who are more successful than me, and other times it’s people who I don’t even know, but it seems like they’re living extraordinary lives.

I remember sitting with a couple of friends at university drinking tea one cold November evening. I remember it vividly because it was the night a friend told me that she had been sexually assaulted. She didn’t report him because she felt, at the time, she was to blame. She said she felt responsible for him getting the wrong idea. She was... Read the rest of this post...

So we have just started another glorious year, the year of 2015. Some may argue another year of problems, stress, overeating, procrastination and being socially awkward. But this year, ladies and gents, I ask you to do something different. Most of you are probably thinking: ‘What are you talking about, don’t you think I’ve lied enough to myself to last...
