I read a post on elitedaily.com the other day that was entitled: I’m Not Just Looking For Love, I’m Looking For Someone Who Can Keep Up. Not to discredit the author in any way (who am I to judge a published writer…?) but I didn’t think it was particularly well written and I didn’t think … More I’m Not Just Looking For Love, I’m Looking For Someone Who Can Support Me.
This week, my blog: chasingamylou, celebrated gaining its 100th follower, so I wanted to say a huge thank you, from the bottom of my heart and also…….YAY TO ME! As a kind of mini-celebration I thought I’d post something a little different, however, writers-block has me stuck in the mud at the moment, struggling to form … More Run Towards Yourself
About eight months ago I wrote a blog entitled “Things I’ve I learned About Hostels. Part One” in which I described all the things that can and probably will occur when you resign yourself to life on the road and inevitably, the hostel life – the good, the bad and the downright disgustingly ugly. Having stayed … More Things I’ve Learned About Hostels. Part Two.
I am a fickle being. No, really, I am. Let me elaborate: One minute I’m lonely as fuck, craving and longing for the attention of a male suitor; someone to sweep me off my feet and eradicate that deep pit of fear I have about forever being left on the shelf (see previous blog The Irony … More So I Fell In Love…With Myself…
I have contemplated the irony of love for a while now; well, the irony of love that seems to apply to me anyway. I have also spent many a night (and day) contemplating ‘the journey’ and wishing things would turn out the way I’ve dreamed they would, instead of having to deal with the cold, … More The Irony Of Love
1) People in general and by nature are not bad. People can be very kind, loving and generous. They can and will go out of their way for you for purely unselfish reasons, motivated by a desire to help out and to make others happy. Being kind and loving is the most natural thing in … More What I Learned About Actual People While On My Actual Travels (Part One)
Well, when I say I fell in love, I don’t actually know if I did or not. I don’t know if I still am or whether it was just a crush and all those emotions I felt whenever said person was around were just make-believe in my head. All I know is that my feelings … More So I Fell In Love…
When I first started this project way back on 1st January 2014, the sole aim was to document 365 days of gratitude; to take a photo every day of something I was grateful for. In the last two installments I spoke of how difficult it was to find something different I was grateful for every … More My 365 Grateful Project: Final Installment – A Time To Reflect
As the distant drumming sounds echoed through the frosty air; as the eerie sound of bagpipes were carried along on the settling early morning mist, I felt a chill run down my spine; and not because it was 5:30am in a freezing cold Orange, NSW; not because I was tired and drained, but because this … More Anzac 100: A Dawn Service Experience
Well well, it’s been almost seven months and I’m still here, still learning and still growing. When I first arrived I have to admit I was impatient; wanting everything to happen at once: the self-discovery, the inevitable growth, the development of character etc. My friend Nichola told me to bide my time, to take it … More Things I’ve Learned About Myself Since Being in Australia
