Achalasia

This Friday will mark six weeks since I had surgery and as I am writing this it has been nine weeks since I last threw up. I made a post about the possibility that I may have achalasia in February but at that stage I hadn't been through any tests, I hadn't been diagnosed and…

‘Father’s Day Post’

When I was five years old I married my Dad. In my 'forever friends' baby blue bedroom I walked up the aisle alongside my bed, fully certain that he was the only man I would ever have of importance in my life. My young self saw so much because of him; London city at night,…

Journey to Education

Last May I had a bit of a breakdown about how I had never gotten my degree and how I had never anticipated that I would be in my mid-twenties with no career and no experience that could help me get on that path. I have always been driven and academic, I was the 'smart…

If you really do ‘Love Both’ you will get this….

I remember learning about propaganda when I was around 14 in relation to Hitler and the second world war.

Supporting the ‘MeToo’ Movement

A few days ago I posted on Facebook, I don't do this very often, I've been quite inactive publicly on my page in recent years, keeping it as a tool to share pictures and connect with people individually. But every so often something so big in the world happens that I feel as though I…
