Love? Life? Joy!
Just two months ago I had no idea about what to do with my life. I felt as though all that I was ever going do was sit on my tea stained sofa and live happily in my imaginary world, which I was too chicken to make a reality. I became fixated on one thing and became trapped in my narrow... 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. The dread, the panic and the sweat come flooding back every... Read the rest of this post...

The other day I received a teeny tiny message in a bottle from one of my best friends. In it were the words: Dream. Believe. Do. Repeat. Many people wonder: what’s the recipe for success? Good question! I mean, whether it’s your personal health, career or relationships, what really makes a person successful at what they do? How do you... Read the rest of this post...

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...

There will always be someone ahead of you; there will always be someone behind you. That will always be the case. But right here, right now: this is where you are. And it might not be exactly where you want it to be, but it just is what it is. We have to deal with it, and learn to love... Read the rest of this post...

October is Black History Month, but until now it hasn’t really something I’ve given much thought to before. I’m sure I probably did some lessons in school on it, but I can’t really remember it. When I think about Black History Month, I think of well-known figures such as Nelson Mandela, Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King. I have probably heard... Read the rest of this post...

Last week, at around 7pm, one of my most fears came true. I was cycling home, it was dark and raining hard. I managed to slip on the road and before I knew it I was hurtling through the air and into a fence. It was one of those moments where time seems to slow and yet you have no...

Foreigners often get a bad wrap, their reputation clouded by local prejudices and tainted by past errors of other foreigners. Wherever they are, wherever they’re from, whatever they look like, the odd ones out will always get extra attention. Sometimes – particularly when you’re very new to this place – that attention can be daunting and frustrating. Arriving somewhere entirely different... Read the rest of this post...

You know what really annoys me? People’s opinions. Yes that may sound absolutely ridiculous and a little hypocritical as I’m offering up mine, but hear me out… When I was younger, I was a lot more confident and hotheaded. Then things happened and I lost a bit of confidence. I started caring about probably a bit too much what people... Read the rest of this post...

(Warning: This Post Contains Banana Bread) There were highs, there were lows, there was car sickness there was health, there was sheep poo and dog carriers, and my gilet will NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN… Snowdon was the first mountain of many (I hope) to climb.
