And as I prepare to leave a country I love, direction once again confounds me. I’ve taken more paths and chosen more roads yet the world is still spinning around me. Conflicting emotions about how to ‘travel’ are repeatedly rearing their heads; sometimes I feel the coil of life unravel, my heart aching beneath my … More The World Will Still Spin At My Feet
I’ve been in Australia almost four months now, and in Melbourne just over a month, and I’ve been thinking. A lot. So I thought it was about time I wrote something about what’s been happening in my wonderfully exciting life since I left the delights of Marvel Loch and WA. Following a successful and enjoyable … More To Be A Melburnian Or A Mancunian: Are They One And The Same?
The end of the road in Marvel Loch came on Monday 10th October 2016 and if I was to say the last eight weeks had been uneventful then I’d be lying. At times it may have felt like I’d been imprisoned, cut off from the outside world, lacking in information and sensory overload, carrying out … More And Just Like That, It Was Over
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
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?
“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
Can’t you see the love in my eyes? Look closer. Can’t you see past this feeble disguise? Look closer. Can’t you see the passion that simmers in the depths of my being, that haunts me, that glimmers? Look closer. Can’t you see my wanton my desire? Look closer. Cant you see I’m burning with fire? … More Come Closer
The reason she leaves and travels the world is ‘cos nobody stole her heart. She wanders and roams the streets all alone ‘cos nobody dared to start. Where is the knight in shining armour, the one who should’ve carried her away? He didn’t appear like the fairytale said, he didn’t ask her to stay. … More The Wall
What will happen when day meets night, And night meets day on the other side? The vast mountains and rolling hills, The rumbling jungles, silence instills, The never ending ocean and dipping tides, The connection felt between you and I. Along the horizon a new tale unfolds, Crashes of light and colours so bold. Sounds … More Dreaming of the World and You.
They say the truth hurts, but you don’t believe it until you’re actually faced with it yourself. And you know what, it more than hurts, it wretches at your soul; twists it into small, tiny, unidentifiable pieces and then spits it back out. The truth, apart from being a great platform to base your life … More The Truth Hurts
