A Place the Maps Forgot

What countries do you want to visit? I want to go somewhere the sun never clocks off. Where the sea is a mirror for the sky, glass-flat, endless, and so blue it borders on smug. The sand is soft and golden, warm like a just-used towel, and so fine it squeaks under your heels. There […]

There is this little place I know…

Tucked somewhere between memory and a dream, where time never quite settles and the air hums like it’s holding a secret. The sky always glows a soft, forgiving shade, neither morning nor night, and the breeze carries the scent of something old and kind. It never rains here. Yet the ground stays soft beneath bare […]

Just Give Me Back My F****** Bikini

Look, I didn’t ask for much. All I wanted was a cute little bikini and shorts set for my holiday. I found one on Shein, and there were only 10 left. TEN. So instead of playing basket Tetris to hit the free delivery minimum like a normal person, I just paid the full whack for […]

The Empty Chairs in the Garden

I walked around her garden earlier. All the flowers were in full bloom, like they hadn’t got the memo. Petals open wide, bright and defiant, like they were still waiting for someone to sit among them and admire the view. But the chairs were empty. No laughter. No tea in mismatched mugs. No stories being […]

Behind The Smile: The Quiet Struggle Of Healing.

What we show the world isn’t always the truth we live with. There are days when healing feels like freedom. Like a clear breath. Like moving forward. And then there are days like this – quiet, heavy, and tearful, where I feel like I’m barely holding it together. You won’t always see these days. Online, […]

The Weight That Keeps Me Here.

A love that never left, even when it was never mine. It isn’t a sharp pain. It’s like erosion – soft, and steady. Like water wearing down stone. You barely notice it at first, until one day, you don’t recognise the shape of yourself anymore. You’re surrounded by the darkness of a cold, deep cave […]

🐝 Waspageddon: The Red-Faced Showdown

Been up since 3am, thanks to biblical thunder and the kind of thoughts that make you wonder if you left the oven on in 2017. By 9am, I’d decided today was the day. Final run of the Nike challenge — 5K. Doable. Not Everest. Trainers on, sports bra locked down, vest filled with water like […]

Stuck in the Shadows: When Growing Up Never Really Happens

Just Eat Reviews And The Search For Validation

Because nothing says “you matter” like a stranger also getting shafted over spring rolls. Let me just say this: I haven’t had a takeaway in two years. Not out of health, money, or self-restraint — no, no. It’s because I’ve had one too many emotional breakdowns over a cold chow mein and an order that […]

The Battle Of The Bingo Wings: A Tragicomedy In Sleeveless Acts

When Your Arms Get More Attention Than Your Personality It starts innocently enough. You’re standing there, mid-conversation, maybe making a point with a bit of passionate hand-flapping — and then it happens. The flap after the flap. The encore you didn’t ask for. The bingo wing. We don’t talk about them enough, probably because they’ve […]
