Towards the end of last year I gave myself some reminders to try and keep me mentally healthy. One of them being to make sure I write everything out of my mind. So this is what I’m doing. I’ve had a lot on my mind recently. My second trip back to Australia has worked out … Continue reading Write It All Out

Prioritise Your Cares
To care for something or someone requires a lot of strength. It can be damaging, rewarding and draining for yourself. I now don't care for a lot, but what I do care for; I care for a hell of a lot.

Goodbyes Get Harder
The UK will always be my home and I’ll always have a home to go to in the UK. It’s where I am from, where I grew up, it is home to my loved ones and fond memories but I know I could never be completely at home there anymore. I often get asked whether … Continue reading Goodbyes Get Harder

Bali VS Anxiety
May the 1st marked the start of my solo travels which took me to Bali! Bali was never part of my plan but to be fair, returning to the UK for 2 months was also not part of my plan. After 7 months in Australia I decided to return home. My future was my main … Continue reading Bali VS Anxiety
