Social media. A big part of our lives for most. Many times it has been discussed that social media creates a ‘fake’ representation of our lives, but I don’t think this is entirely true. I am mainly speaking for Instagram as that is the main platform that I use and am familiar with. The argument…
Read More2017.
I wasn’t sure whether I was going to do a post like this – a reflection of last year. I just wasn’t entirely sure whether if was important or a completely worthwhile pursuit, simply because nothing has really changed except the numbers we use to label our days and life is still moving forward so…
Read MoreNew Year’s Resolutions and an Introduction to this month’s project (Blog Every Day In January)
New Year’s Resolutions I’ve never really set new year’s resolutions before. I don’t really like the idea of them. It’s that whole thing of ‘you don’t need a new year to change things in your life, you can change anytime’. I agree with that, and also I don’t think it’s possible to just change over…
Read MoreSleeping, dreaming and lucidity
Before I begin let me just say that dreams are like one of my favourite things. I find dreaming to be one of the most fascinating concepts that exists. I wanted to share some experiences that I found to be interesting and I just want to say that this almost ended up turning into a…

Read MoreSeeds of hope – A story, I guess?
I’d been walking down a dark tunnel with only a seed of hope blooming inside my chest to guide me. I’d been watering this seed of hope, in hope that it wouldn’t die in the darkness, in hope that there was something worth waiting for. I was hoping this hope would keep a spark alive,…
Read MorePredictive text poems

Read MoreWasted Time
“I will do something today”, she thought. “I will be productive today”, she said. Sitting on a park bench to escape her stumbling mind, confused and distracted by ticking and whirring and rumbling.

Read MoreThe edge of a cliff
Poetry is the world beyond the edge of a cliff. There is a little man standing on the edge of this cliff. He isn’t really a little man, only in comparison to the cliff. But he is standing on the edge of the cliff where everything stops. All the everyday rules that we subconsciously follow,…
