“The greatest healing therapy is friendship and love.” – Hubert H.Humphrey
Why do people settle?
For me, the last few years have been an experience to say the least, especially with navigating single life through Covid lockdowns! It has however allowed me take an exterior view on the relationships of those around me. ‘Are you happy?’. I’ve found myself asking this question a lot lately with people I care about.…
The dire (although amusing) dating app diaries
I’ve tried them numerous times and put bluntly, they’re not for me and nor can I see myself on one ever again. Although they can be fun for some, dating apps can be debilitating and sometimes even a thick skin can prove difficult to uphold. I’ve had it all! THE CATFISH Yes, that’s right. Men…
18 things I would say to my 18 year old self
1. You’ve probably just come back from Malia (and had the best time), but I promise your holidays will become a tad classier in future years and whenever you hear Kid Cudi’s, ‘Day & Night’, it will always make you reminisce! Also, I hope you made the most of it, because you can’t get a…
Goodbye 2020….What. An. Effing. Year
Ironically, I actually started writing this post back in May and never finished it. Perhaps subconsciously I knew this new way of life would last a lot longer than the original few weeks Boris first promised. With the New Year pending, it’s no surprise that I’ve seen a lot less ‘Bring on 2021’, or ‘New…
Single in a Soulless Society
I never thought I would have the guts to put this out there, but if writing this can help me release some pent up feelings and at the same time help someone in a similar situation relate – why not, eh? I’d like to think I’m doing OK for myself – from the outset I’m…
Why I Started Counselling and Why You Should Too
Counselling/therapy (whatever you want to call it) – why is there still such a huge stigma around it? When you’re ill, or your body is hurt and you need to recuperate, you rest and you feed your body back to healthy. So, why is it less important or ’embarrassing’ do to the same with your…
Selfish Self-Love Vs Selfish Narcissism…
What is lock-down/isolation teaching us about ourselves and others? Have you noticed anyone change? It’s a lot clearer to see behavioural patterns (including our own) when we are all in a similar situation. This post concentrates on narcissism, but also highlights the strong difference between being narcissistic and selfishly loving ourselves a little more (which…
Your Dreams…What Do They Mean?
What is a dream? “A dream is a succession of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations that usually occur involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep “(Wikipedia). Why do we dream? “The most honest answer is that we do not yet know the function or functions of dreaming. This ignorance should not be surprising…
We Are All In This Together…
During isolation I have noticed many of my friends are yoyo’ing with their emotions daily. One day they are super positive and the next they are upset, wondering when this will end. How many of you are having bad days where you wake up anxious and don’t see a light at the end of this…
How To Handle Isolated Isolation…
“A season of loneliness and isolation is when the caterpillar gets its wings. Remember that next time you feel alone.” — Mandy Hale 2020 – what a year it’s been so far. There is no point in listing all the things that have happened, because right now the main subject on everyone’s agenda is, of course,…
