I Suppose This Is Where We Start

I love that the photo accompanying this placeholder post is a cup of coffee, seeing as it's the beginning of my blogging venture and a lot of people begin their days with coffee. I mean, not me, personally - I can't stand the stuff (that's enough of your indignant gasping out there!). But a lot of people do - and snaps to them for being able to have proper adult drinks in the morning. I'll just sit over here with my porridge and my orange juice and adult at my own pace. Even though it's 8pm. I can have breakfast at dinner time. I'm an adult. So mneh.

We Don’t Care As Much As You Think We Do, And We Aren’t Sorry.

I'm going to throw this out there early on in this piece - I discovered the art of Not Giving Fucks a few years ago, and it's been one of the most delightful skills I've ever added to my personal repertoire....

“You’ll be an amazing mother, one day.”

Learning that The Struggle Is Real, and That It’s OK.

I have struggled, these past few weeks. Mentally, more than anything. I have struggled to sleep, in all forms and stages - I do not remember the last time I was asleep before midnight. Twice in the past three weeks...

Apologies and Appreciation – Also, a New Share Station

Naw, rhyming is fun. Hi there all! As the title might suggest, I have some apologies to dole out, as well as some appreciation. Firstly, I'm sorry that I've been somewhat quiet this week. I haven't actually worked out a schedule...

A Slightly Sweary Rant About “Baby-Hating” Babes.

Just a quick thought tonight (if that's even possible for me). I've just read an "article" about a woman named Vicky Pattison. Apparently she's famous for being on Geordie Shore (now do you see why "article" has the quotation marks around...

Blur

Blur The night time hours fade and blend and I fade and blend with them before being pulled back to bleary eyed, fuzzy consciousness. The horizon ignites, then warms casting bold golds and optimistic pinks across the sky. The idea of...
