Ok, so it’s far from being the actual “outback”, and it’s about as far from the Red Centre as Manchester is from Warsaw (don’t quote me on that by the way, I ain’t GoogleMaps), but it’s the “outback” to me…or it may as well be. Marvel Loch is a small mining town situated 33km south … More Day One 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
Lists…lists, lists, lists. I’m well aware that I have a bit of a thing for lists. I love a shopping list. I love a list of things to do. I love a list for the sake of having a list, you know, just so I can write unnecessary shit down in order to inevitably forget … More What a difference a year makes
“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
Now, before we even start, I’m no dating expert and I am definitely not a serial dater; in fact, my dating back catalogue is pretty pathetic and my track record, well, there isn’t really one. And that’s quite worrying, as dating in 2016 is pretty confusing, and hard, especially if you’re just not into … More Let’s have a little chat about dating, shall we?
Travelling blog posts have been a little slow lately; in fact, blog posts of any description have been a little slow. At the moment I’m working full-time and holding down two freelance writing jobs (no complaints there) so finding the time to write is proving very difficult. Not being able to regularly contribute to my … More The Travelling Creative
