New Year, New Me?
So I’m going to write about something so stereotypical around this time of year…New Year’s Resolutions. Each year I set general ones which I inevitably forget about in a month’s time but this year I am going to do my best to set tangible, reachable, time sensitive goals – if you ever went to any […]

Gary John Bishop’s “Wise As Fu*k” – Fear
Gary John Bishop’s “Wise as Fu*k” delivers an impactful punch of insight in a straightforward no-bullshitting style that is admirable. Bishop breaks down his books into sections or rather “fundamentals of life:” Love, Loss, Fear and Success. I will admit I perused the “Love” section but the parts on loss, fear and success really spoke […]

Do You Think You Might Be Going Insane Again?
I recently had a major shift in my life in that a very serious relationship of mine came to its end. I have been coping very well compared to times in my past where I would just lose it in sorrow. I recognize now that I am older that sometimes things just don’t work out […]

The Day My Heart Broke – Part Two
This is a watercolour Pencil creation and poem documenting the day my heart broke… Today my heart broke but I know I can with time, with stitches and glue, piece it back together. Today my heart ached for what have may been, visions of me in white and you crying happily, waiting for me at […]

I will always carry a torch for “Torches” (Foster the People)
Music has always been a form of therapy for me and I find myself relying on it now more than ever during this madness. I have mostly been rediscovering older music that I used to lean on in times of crisis. One band in particular I have “rediscovered” is “Foster the People” and more specifically […]

You’ll Be Flying Again Soon…
“You are not trapped, you just need to relearn a few things. We all have doubts that make us feel trapped at times. If you doubt your ability to make a life-altering decision, to take on a new chapter in your life, or to fend for yourself after years of being overly fostered, consider this: […]
