I didn’t realise how infrequently I’d been writing, or how bad my memory gaps had become, until I realised this post was about to follow close on the heels to a post also about change. Or at least a change in personality. I shouldn’t be too surprised really. There’s a lot of big changes going … More Change
Do you ever feel like your own personality is stuck in a state of flux? Like you’re not sure exactly who you are? Like who you thought you were feels like it no longer exists? Because that’s how I feel right about now. I feel like who I am, who I was, who I thought … More Metamorphosis
Dear Dad, I would apologise for this being almost a week late, but honestly I’m kind of done with being sorry for things that I can’t really do anything about, and unless I can switch my brain for a slightly more functional one then I’m not going to apologise. Life is kind of kicking my … More Dear Dad (Happy Belated Father’s Day)
There have been a lot of things that have changed for me since my Dad died, some of them good, some of them bad, and some of them that I’m probably not even aware of. Recently I became aware of a change in myself, that I’m not so sure is a change per se, but … More An Unexpected Side Effect
Today, after about a month of shear stress and deliberation, I finally bit the bullet, completed the last couple of steps, and sent off my application to UCAS. I have decided to apply for a second degree, because clearly the first 4 years and almost £50k of debt just weren’t enough. The whole decision to … More It Doesn’t Get Any Easier The second Time Around
It’s the first weekend in January which means that my social media feeds are full of people sharing their New Year’s resolutions, and I was going to write a blog post about how I don’t really like the idea of giving things up. However, I did that last year and if I’m honest there are … More Am I Really Doing This Again?
Dear Dad, Someone told me earlier this year that change is just a fact of life, that everything changes eventually, so we just have to accept it and roll with the punches. Sometimes however, these changes are easier to accept than others. Some change is easy, for the better. Others are harder, more painful to … More Dear Dad (There Are Changes Afoot)
It seems funny after not writing a daily prompt for about 3 weeks that I’m officially writing something about it. See I haven’t given up on my daily prompts, I don’t want to abandon them. But at the moment it’s hard. Life has changed for me, I have a new job, I’m doing new things, … More A Break From My Daily Prompts
Prompt: What could have happened to you in high school that would have altered the course of your life? There are so many things that could have happened in high school that would have altered my whole life. If I’d never got that horse on loan, if I’d have accepted my sexuality earlier on, if … More #47. How A Diagnosis Could Have Changed My Life
Leaving home is one of those time-honoured rites of passage. In theory most people will leave home at some point in their lives, usually by choice but unfortunately not always. No matter the circumstances however, leaving home is always a pretty steep learning curve. I left home at 18 to go to university, and it … More #20. Leaving Home
