• Never Thought I’d Be Here – Part Two

  My experience at the clinic was a positive one, excluding the Friday of course. Once I settled in, I started feeling better. Friday evening I slept straight through, as well as every night I was there. Which isn’t normal for me. Usually my first night sleeping out I barely sleep at all. What made it different […]

• Why

  This is a letter I wrote a few years ago, for a friend of mine who ended his life when we were 19 years old. I’m hoping that sending this out into the universe will help me let go. Dear M, You were one of my closest friends that year. Standing on the balcony, without […]

• If This Morning Were A Colour…

  If this morning were a colour, it would be Red. The colour of my blood, my tears. The colour of betrayal, abandonment, anger and hurt.

• Feeling The Grief

The morning after having written my post ‘Basking in the Sun‘, I woke up with this feeling of intense sadness. It’s followed me through the entire week, and […]

• The Box Of Hope

  I had coffee with one of my best friends on Sunday afternoon/evening. As usual I really enjoyed spending time with her.

• The Challenge And Necessity Of Being Good to Ourselves

  My psychologist shared this quote online, and it’s been at the back of my mind since I saw it. I was approached by one of my male friends a few weeks ago. Someone I’d known for a number of years. We’ve never been close, but the friendship had its merits. He asked me to take […]
