Who am I? Am I that which you define? Am I that who I make out to be? Am I the thoughts, beliefs and attitudes I display? Or am I the way which I make others feel? We all go through life trying to understand and form our identity like as though it is somehow…

A poem dedicated to the ongoing bushfires in Australia – a story between the voice of the earth and that of a soul that realise the weight of this tragedy: Sour, sour the taste is sour There is no sweetness left to devour; People disappoint you when you’re hurt They don’t care as much as…

Coming back to Australia to see the reality of the bushfires has been such a heart breaking experience. Whilst we may be used to bush fires as a nation, what is currently happening New South Wales is nothing short of what you see in doomsday movies. It’s incredibly heart breaking to know so many vulnerable…

I’m currently 29 years old and I’ve been in 6 relationships since the age of 16. Of these 6 relationships 4 were incredibly toxic and in hindsight incredibly difficult lessons that have cost me years of trauma, anxieties, insecurities and emotional pain.
