• Balance & Stability

  

  Two words that can be used to describe pretty much nothing at the moment if you were to scan the news headlines. Rather don’t. I did which I swore I would not do, and now I’m suffering the consequences. Prime Ministers fleeing countries, pushed out of office, Billionaires buggering around with buyouts and bots, Dystopian […]

• Beautiful, Broken but not beaten

  

  This week has been surreal and traumatic on a level that cannot be comprehended, nor articulated and the effects of which have not yet even begun to sink in. I don’t know about anyone else, but I feel bouts of disassociation or depersonalisation.That feeling where you feel like you are not actually in your own […]

  Usually, at this time of year, I am frazzled beyond recognition.Usually, at this time of year, it’s a downward spiral of stress from October.Usually, at this time of year, I’m overstretched, overcommitted, overwhelmed and over it.

• Definition

  

  I love defining things. Feelings, concepts, goals, my eyebrows, even words I thought I kind of knew but wasn’t 100% certain. Defining is finite. As soon as I have defined a feeling or a concept it feels as if I have wrapped it in beautiful gift wrap, with a bow, ready to open. Definition allows […]
