The theme for this year was/is growth and perspective (did I mention). And I think I'm seeing that in some places. But life certainly always gets in the way of the best laid plans. Which ties in to something I'm learning the most - you can't control what you can't control and that's okay. So … Continue reading The changing scenes of life

The big chop
This was one of my 'nevers'. When I wrote it down in my journal, I encouraged myself to laugh at it. To laugh at what I thought and the reality. Life will challenge your nevers - and it might not even be with something as simple as hair. Once I started growing my hair in … Continue reading The big chop
When’s the right time to move on?
I come at this thought with the firm understanding that life happens differently for everyone. Some people can give you a rough picture of what the rest of their life will look like at 19. And others are still getting it together at 40...what the heck - 26, at 26. I'm thinking of this in … Continue reading When’s the right time to move on?
Been reading more thrillers… So I’m sharing some recs…
Of all the changes this year has brought, this one seems to be the most thrilling. I wanted some to launch into something different. I knew it was time when every YA and Contemporary story became predictable. The twists were not twisty enough, the characters seemed no different from book to book and the book … Continue reading Been reading more thrillers… So I’m sharing some recs…
Try to quit other bad habits too…
Some days I could be on my bed, trying to sleep or read a book and the little voice in my head will go off 'you can't concentrate till you chew something'. Or going through my day trying to work and I will feel so unsettled till I get it. And I won't care how … Continue reading Try to quit other bad habits too…
I quit writing
A little dramatically too, if I'm being honest (lots of tears, some letters, some anger, a few accusations, some resignation). I dedicated the song 'Let you go' from HSMTMTS to my first love and put a lid on it. That meant an altering of life long dreams and it put my current career path in … Continue reading I quit writing
Halfway 26
Today I'm exactly halfway 26 (not that we can trust my math or anything, even with something that simple). I've probably been missing for most of this time (with some reason and some extra self-pity). I think the older we get, we understand how much of an illusion time is - blink and the year … Continue reading Halfway 26
We are all making it up as we go along.
Are we really? I'm guessing you see that and there is someone who pops in your mind who just seems to have it all figured out. There is no way they are making it up. Probably bursts holes in your belief of 'my steps have been ordered'. Especially when you can't see the order of … Continue reading We are all making it up as we go along.
In the face of doubt
I hope your February was merry. And love filled 😏. And that your March has started off well. Its Women's month so I hope you are on the look out for injustices against women (which are many) and righting those wrongs. I intend to show up this March, add my voice to some of the … Continue reading In the face of doubt
Easing back into some ‘sort of normal’
The promise of January was a lifting of all the lockdown restrictions and I probably looked so much to it, I forgot to think of what that might feel like. Like how I get a little antsy when people get so close without their masks... It's hard to believe that less than three years ago … Continue reading Easing back into some ‘sort of normal’
