An odd title to give this blog post, as I'm mainly going to be writing about the experiences I've had in life which have royally f*cked me over. There are lots of factors out of our control in life, from negative experiences during childhood to the weather forecast on a given Tuesday, or a global…
Indecision and intuition
A few days ago I received my final classification for my Broadcast Journalism degree. After a lot of very hard work and discipline, I thankfully graduated with a 2:1. Not the highest grade, but much better than the 2:2 or 3rd I would have received if I hadn't have pulled myself together at several stages…
What are you doing with your life?
On the 28th of May 2021, I finished my undergraduate degree in Broadcast Journalism. In the weeks leading up to that day, my breaths were short and shallow as I tried my hardest to blur one hour into the next, go to sleep earlier and wake up later - anything to make the days fly…
Boderline Personality Disorder & Me.

If I can’t write; something ain’t right
I've always been quite good at articulating exactly how I feel or think. I'm aware my delightful brain can often be a bit more sensitive than others, so my ability to communicate this is important in ensuring that I'm expressing how I feel, rather than just going with the flow. This is why I love…
How setting boundaries has improved my life
Establishing personal boundaries is vitally important in ensuring you stick to your values, beliefs and respect your limits.

Typing out the above headline instantly brought tears to my eyes. Please, before reading this blog post, there are a few things I want to clarify and make clear. Many people reading this blog post will be fully aware who the other half of this relationship was. It's really hard for me to convey the…
Let People Down
I pride myself in being a Nice Person and someone who can be relied upon to get things done. As someone who is highly empathetic, I know just how good it can feel to have someone dependable and enthusiastic to help you with the tricky things in life. There's no joy in waiting around wondering…
Prioritising my relationship with myself
They always say love will find you when you're not looking for it. I've always hated this phrase, as love isn't a lost sock or an iPhone charger. Love isn't something you can actively or inactively be looking for. They also say that love will find you once you are happy within yourself. Another phrase…
Let’s just admit it’s crap
It's been exactly 11 months since the UK went into lockdown; it's okay to admit if you're struggling. Two days ago I met up with a friend. My first social interaction in over a week, therefore I spent about an hour getting ready. We went for a walk in the cold rain and bought a…
