Conflict has always been a constant in my life. Since I was little the people close to me have fought, yelled, screamed and thrown things. It all comes from something simple, miscommunication and feelings getting out of hand. It’s contagious and it trickles into me. I don’t even realise I’m yelling until the damage isContinue reading “Conflict”

Still here, just sleeping…
Hey so i know it’s been a while, I’ve been distracted, shocking i know. Life gets so busy making it hard to maintain anything. I have a tendency to get overwhelmed and as my life descends into chaos so does my mental state. There were a couple of weeks just past where i found itContinue reading “Still here, just sleeping…”
Connection
We have grown up in a society that harrows the idea of experiencing feelings and talking about the emotional experience. Because of this we developed negative or harmful mechanisms to deal with difficult shit on our own. Biologically, emotional connection drastically effects our brain chemistry and our outlook, feeling safe with someone where being vulnerableContinue reading “Connection”
Inward
I always thought I was a fairly open and honest person. I suddenly became aware of how much I wasn’t sharing, in exchanges with my friends and family. See although I have always recounted things that have happened in my life I haven’t been sharing a crucial part that creates stronger bonds and relationships withContinue reading “Inward”
Resolutions
Personally I value growth, expanding my abilities and working toward better habits. As you’ve read in other posts I talk of having been a mess for most of my life, it took studying counselling to realise my habits were harmful to myself and the people around me. Growth isn’t easy, it’s taken a lot ofContinue reading “Resolutions”
Expectations
Ive almost been afraid of writing lately. Feeling myself and my good habits crumble I’m slipping out of being the person I was happy to be and with that I didn’t feel worthy of writing. Forgetting that’s the exact reason I started this blog in the first place, to work through my own shit inContinue reading “Expectations”
Identity
What does it mean to know yourself? Do we ever know ourselves the way we think we do? I suppose this is a bit of a rabbit hole of a topic, one that might send you mad if thought about too much. The very loss of identity becoming your identity. I feel like we createContinue reading “Identity”
Change
Change is hard on most of us, uncertainty breeds anxiety and stress from lack of control. Last weekend I moved house for the second time in 4 months and I can tell you right now its been a lot both mentally and physically for me to deal with. Thats why I want to talk aboutContinue reading “Change”
Honestly
Honesty is everything, and I mean that. Starting with ourselves, it shapes us in the most important of ways; chooses our friends, how we treat ourselves, what we choose to do in our lives. We spend a lot of time creating personas for the outside world, sometimes creating them for ourselves, but this does notContinue reading “Honestly”
ADHD Awareness month
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, I wasn’t diagnosed until I was 24 and I wanted to talk about that a little bit. As I sit here, fighting with distraction to write this, it almost seems impossible to me that no one noticed the symptoms throughout my life. For a lot of women though, late diagnosis isContinue reading “ADHD Awareness month”
