I DID IT! On Saturday I completed Project 2 from my Project 12. On Friday and Saturday I tried to talk myself out of going. I convinced myself nobody would care. That it wasn't a big deal. That it wouldn't matter. But. . . .that's why I started this in the first place. I want [...]
The younger version of myself would have very much disagreed with what I am about to say. But alas, hindsight is a wonderful thing. You have to understand how you are feeling and what it is you want out of a situation before you can even begin to move forward. I used to think after seeing [...]
(Am I the only one who reads the title and starts singing the song? Here is a link if you have no idea what I'm on about! Do I stay or do I go now song ) You must have been asked before, what advice would you give your younger self? Most people say things [...]
The thing I used to hear all the time when I was at school. “O, so and so has gone travelling”, “yes my son went and travelled around Europe for three months too”. . . I’d think, how cool it would be to do that. I was twenty-one when I did my first spot of travelling. [...]

I’d be one of the first to raise my hand to admit that I’ve said things to people because I think it’s what they want to hear. I’ve been dishonest to friends so I would fit in. I've done it to my family so they wouldn’t ‘judge’ me. I have been dishonest to men because [...]
Thank you twenty-three, it’s been an honour. And as with each of my previous years, you have taught me so many things. . . . How to love myself unconditionally. How to love others without return. How to work out of love and not just for money. How to care for others like a mother [...]
There is a man I see around where I live. I pass him when I go on walks to the park. Normally I say hello and we have a little conversation about the weather or work. The other week I passed him sat outside and I asked how he was, he said ‘i’m ok. I’ve [...]
Last July I went to my first music festival. It was a small family festival in Somerset. I had the best time. It was so relaxed and everyone was really lovely. It did pour down and being in a small, two-man tent with another person and a double blow up bed was not ideal, but [...]
I've recently noticed the phrase 'show up everyday'. I've seen it on social media, TED talks, podcasts, in the book I've recently finished (Girl wash your face, By Rachel Hollis. YOU NEED TO READ IT!). . . .and I think to myself, YES! I want to be that person. The one who shows up and [...]
