“They” say we’re too connected these days. Too scheduled. Too busy. Downtime doesn’t exist. It’s faux pas to say you did nothing on the weekend. Boredom Isn’t Glamorous I took a 6 day weekend over the Easter long weekend. I had all the ideas about all the things I could have done. […]

One Thing I Wish I Could Teach You
I saw this on Twitter and as someone who struggles to a) manage shiny object syndrome and b) tell you what I want (what I really really want, zigazig ah) …this was a great, simple question. If you can’t read it, the question a teacher asked was: “If I let you teach my students […]
When You Have No Answers
In a goal oriented world, where do you find your place if you don’t have answers yet? That is who I want to find. That is who I think would get the most out of reading this blog. Because we don’t have just one answer. No one thing clicks life into place. Some […]
Finding An Evening Ritual
One of the strangest things about being tonsil free is feeling good. It’s not bad to feel good (can I get a duh) but tonsils made me crappy for such a long time that I am still not adjusted to being “normal”. January was a strange month for me. I was back at work but […]
Easing Into 2018
I haven’t been up to much. I was going to blog about my Christmas Staycation. But I didn’t. Some things happened. Gutting things. Some good things happened. I had a funny day out on Christmas Day at the beach on my own which ended up in a beach tent collapsing on me. I wish I […]
The Three Main Types Of Apologies (And What You’re Really Saying)
The other week, I was having a discussion with a friend about apologies. More specifically, “apologies”. Aka fake ones. Aka “sorry YOU were offended” types. I said that I would rather people didn’t fake being sorry as that is more … painful, patronising… you choose the adjective that suits! The Three Main Types Of […]
Disillusionment Can Be A Good Thing
Granted I’ve had some tiring weeks of personal stuff recently, but even without that, I had been looking for a word to describe how I felt. And I finally came across it last week. Disillusionment. That is how I feel. Disillusioned towards a lot of things. Some parts of blogging & online life included. I had […]
2017 Blogging Review
I know, it’s a bit odd to do a blogging review so “early” in the year, but I believe goals don’t have to be made only in January and reviews don’t only happen at the end of the year (or financial year). 2017 Blogging Review To be frank, most of this year […]
I Am Angry
I am tired and cranky. I have had a few people be incredibly entitled to me in recent months and I’m only just realizing that I am angry about it. I am angry at them. I am hurt by them. I am hurt by their lack of understanding that their entitlement really hurt me. […]
Self Care For Lazy, Sarcastic, Blunt People
I’m not religious, but I like hot cross buns and I finally get paid for public holidays, so I’m all for the Easter long weekend. Which, FYI, is this week!! Four whole days of doing nothing. Which brings me to the topic at hand today… Self Care For Lazy, Sarcastic, Blunt People Normally […]
