Somewhere between wake and sleep sleep and wake I led impatient ink to a patient page and penned this insomniacs poem. Whilst my house sat still on its ageing plot and all within slept silently blissfully unaware of my night terrors, I stared boldly into the quasi darkness of my room choked by unnecessary worldly… Continue reading In The Midnight Hour

The Happiness Mindset
“later that night i held an atlas in my lap ran my fingers across the whole world and whispered where does it hurt? it answered everywhere everywhere everywhere.” - Warsan Shire Recently I was asked by a new found friend if happiness is a mindset; you either have it or you don't? I paused for… Continue reading The Happiness Mindset
Finished, Not Perfect
I had a catchup conversation with one of my best friends a couple of weeks ago.
