It’s the end of my first week in Marvel Loch (The Town Midas Touched) and any pre-conceived doubt I had about coming here has been well and truly eradicated. In fact, I’ve quite enjoyed being out in the country away from the rat-race, cut off from society; and despite my tendencies to piss and moan … More Week One in Marvel Loch – Content and pleasantly surprised
In coming to Western Australia during the height of winter, I thought I’d made the ultimate choice; I thought I would’ve hit the jackpot in regards to the weather, as everyone knows Perth and a lot of WA are renowned for being hot all the time, right? Erm…WRONG! To say I have been unpleasantly surprised … More It’s Cold: Day Three in Marvel Loch
After what can only be described as a fantastically reaffirming time in Hong Kong where I managed to take-in, see, and splendour at all the sights and sounds I regretted to visit on my last trip there, I made my way to Perth, with a stoic optimism and a positive attitude directed at whatever lay … More What do you do when things don’t work out? Head to the Outback of course.
In May 2013 I feared for my life. In May 2013, I thought I would never see the light of day again. It’s now July 2016, and a little over three years ago I went to China. I was young(ish) and slightly naive but very much over-confident in my convictions, of which I was also … More Putting the past to rest
I met a boy about two years ago now and fell for his wit and charm. We didn’t know one another, we hadn’t conversed but I knew, I felt all the alarms. When we finally spoke, my head was a flutter, heart racing, palms sweaty, mumbled words I did utter. He played it cool, nonchalant … More I fall in love too easily
“Apart from the realisation that I’m completely obsessed with Game of Thrones and have an unhealthy imaginary romance going on with Jon Snow, one in which he broodingly serenades me in his dulcet northern tones and protects me from White Walkers by shielding my body against the threat of the cold misty air…I can say … More You Know Nothing, Jon Snow
While I’m lacking in content of substance and swimming in self doubt, don’t shrug me off or cast me aside, for I’m trying to figure things out. I don’t hold the answers to all of my questions and they seem to be piling high, the what if’s and how’s and when’s and where’s, it’s enough … More Don’t write me off
There has to be more to life than this; to sit in a cage, in a tank, in a pond, and work for a man with whom you have no bond. To monotonise your weeks, your years and your life for a suffocating slavery of struggle and strife. You work, you come home, you eat … More More Than This
“And as you write this with unexplainable tears rolling down your cheeks – the droplets of water have no source; there’s no reason for their manifestation; they just are -you wonder if the pain will ever cease” And so it simmers, like a slow-burning pressure cooker waiting to boil and overflow; a series of anxiety-ridden … More Fear and Self-loathing in Depresvegas
A while back I wrote about writers block and how it can surreptitiously hit at any time, knocking you off your creative feet and sucking the wind out of your sails. I mentioned how for me, heading to the ocean seemed to ease the drought, and how for others, trying to retreat to your own … More The Travelling Creative: More Daytrippin’
