So last night I tried some guided deep sleep meditation. It’s been a while since I’ve done a guided meditation but as I haven’t properly meditated in over 3 weeks I felt like I needed a bit of guidance to get me back on track. I’d highly recommend guided meditation for beginners as it gives … Continue reading Lucid Dreaming – Part 1

My Box Of Memories
I keep hold of receipts, leaflets, flight tickets, train tickets and whatnot from holidays, days out or my college years. I hoard it all. It might be things that are meaningless to others but to me they hold a fond place in my heart. This is my sweet tin which is where I keep all … Continue reading My Box Of Memories
Anti-Social Days
I have anti-social days. For example today I am feeling anti-social. There is absolutely nothing wrong with me, I just don't have the energy to talk and I'd much rather be in my own space but a lot of people don't quite get this. They normally tie it to my mental health and they then think … Continue reading Anti-Social Days
Everything Happens For A Reason
It's a saying we tell our friends and family members usually during a difficult time. It's a saying I used to despise hearing. If anyone ever dared to say that to me I would be filled with rage and anger. After my dads death, I struggled to figure out why. Why him? He was a … Continue reading Everything Happens For A Reason

Journal
I was at the Manchester Christmas markets last year with my best friend L. It's somewhere we go almost every year and we went to our favourite stall. It sells incense sticks, cones, holders and gorgeous handmade journal type books. So I bought a journal that 'winked' at me. It was too beautiful for me … Continue reading Journal

Extroverts tend to be more talkative, outgoing and … Continue reading Introvert, Extrovert or Ambivert?
So today…
So I'll explain the image first. My mum is ones of those mums that always sends thank you cards. It's cute and polite, but it's also kinda lame🙄. I stayed at my uncle's house last weekend and she bought him a thank you card, bottle of wine and chocolates for me to give to him🙄. … Continue reading So today…
TIES
Coping with PTSD is not easy. Far from it in fact. It's like that one wanker that you just can't seem to shake off and every now and again they pop up right in your fucking face. I've had my PTSD for about 10 years or more. It's only this year I can say I am … Continue reading TIES
