I feel crippled by procrastination, in my mind I’m busy doing so many things that I aspire to learn, become and do. Yet, I find myself unmotivated and engaging in habits that are taking me further and further away from the goals I would like to set, but don’t, because I know I won’t work…

What is love? A heavy and big loaded question which I won’t go into unpacking here. All I want to say is that we each have associations and beliefs attached to this big word, which will ultimately influence our experience with it, particularly in a romantic setting. For me, this has been a question that…

It dawned on me that I place my value in relationships on my ability to care for those around me. I see myself as a carer, as someone who can help others feel safe, loved, supported and perhaps encouraged and celebrated. I’ve always assumed that these are required for friendships and relationships, I don’t even…

But that’s not how things always pan out and actually, sometimes the discomfort is exactly what we need. Sometimes, space is the only thing that we can provide and that has to…

I always thought I needed others to take care of me, that when life got hard I would need someone to pick me up and give me the strength I needed to go on. But when I look back on the trajectory of my life, I realise that the person who always lifted me up…

What is it that I’m searching for? Some days even I don’t know! I think that in the process of trying to find a way forward, I’m transitioning from worried  thinking, to curious thinking. But, I need to be careful with this transition because regardless of whether you look positively or negatively upon your future,…
