I’ve not always suffered from anxiety. As a child I remember just feeling constantly shy, trying to hide behind my mum at parties, not wanting to give gifts to the person for fear of rejection (parties and me did not go well together clearly), and the general feedback from my teachers was always, “She needs … More How writing helped my anxiety
I didn’t realise how much I missed Spring until I woke up this morning and it was SUNNY and WARM and OMG I can open the windows without freezing to death. That’s not to say all of Winter has been bad, March was pretty darn dandy, but it can only go uphill from here, eh? … More Goodbye March, Hello Spring

I’m twenty-five! It’s October! It’s all autumnal outside and I’m driking a cyder! Life is good. I literally cannot belive how old I am now. It feel like only yesterday I was chasing my lil’ bro roudn the house, trying to get him to help paint our treehouse. It feels like only yesterday I started … More I’m twenty-five!

I owe my M.A. to Han Kang and Deborah Smith for indirectly imparting on me that I don’t need to write sci-fi … More Book Review: Han Kang’s ‘Human Acts’
Below is part two of a short piece of fiction I wrote as part of my university Masters degree. I thought it would be cool to share sections of it on the blog weekly, as a sort of serial piece. Let me know what you think of it! Hope everyone has a great Friday! Part … More Naked: Part Two
Our third day in Kyoto was short and sweet. I can’t remember why, but I think it had something to do with the HEAT. Oh my god, have you ever been in such sweltering heat that you would literally give up everything to become one with a zillion ice-cubes?? Yeah, me too. This day must … More Kyoto Part Three
There’s just something about Kyoto that stole my goddamn heart. Was it the beauty? Was it the peace? Was it the cheaper Matsuya than Tokyo?
