The Hate U Give – White Privilege

Hi guys, So, today’s post is…different. I’m very nervous to post it, but I feel as though it’s been a long time coming. This is a post about The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas, and white privilege. Let me just put a little disclaimer at the beginning of this post to say that the…

letters to my best friend

Hi loves, I have a lot of journal excerpts and word documents and phone notes containing random scraps of writing and I would really like to share them but of course, they’re not singlehandedly enough to elicit a whole blog post. I was reading some emails I’d sent to a friend last year – sometimes…

the world made me feel as though I wasn’t enough

Hi loves, I was lying in bed last night having a think about a lot of things, I’ve had a lot of wonderful comments lately (hi Priya) about the fact people can see how much I’ve grown as a person lately, and that means the whole entire world. I don’t want to end up repeating…

i’ve stopped trying to be pretty

My whole life I’ve spent worrying about what other people think of me and therefore moulding myself around it. It’s just pressure, constant pressure to be the right thing, to look a certain way, constant anxiety as I scrutinise every part of myself as I question “will this person like that?” But what if you…

power is being told you’re not loved and not being destroyed by it

Hi loves, You may remember a couple weeks ago when I wrote this post. Well, in that post I mentioned that the whole thing that set off my anxiety / needing to get out, was because I read something I didn’t want to read. Without going into too much detail (because I don’t like to…

the text message diaries – humour (#2)

If you're unaware of what that is, it's a series I started on my blog where I basically share snippets of significant conversations I've had with with people that I thought would be interesting to share and talk about - for this section,…

my little corner of the internet

Hi loves, Feels like I’ve been MIA again recently – I haven’t, I’ve been writing lots of blog posts behind the scenes and putting up my regular 3 posts a week as usual, but I haven’t actually been interacting as much because again, my mental health is going down the drain (again - I’m working…

Unpopular Opinions 2

Hi loves, So, you may remember I did an unpopular opinions post a couple months back and uh...here I am with another one! LET ME KNOW IF YOU AGREE. ☼ Taylor Swift’s old music was better I don’t know how divided people are on this one but, I love T Swift okay, love her. However,…

standing by your word

Hi loves, Recently as I’ve been growing and changing in order to handle myself better in situations, I’ve been very conscious about the things I say. For example, when people get angry they say things they don’t mean, when they’re happy they make promises they can’t keep and when they’re sad they make rash decisions…

sick of losing soulmates

I remember a time where I didn’t have to worry about other people, and I remember a time before they came into my life and took away pieces of me I hadn’t even had the chance to discover yet. It was nice to like people when my only worry was wondering if they liked me…
