It’s now been a month since my depression kicked off, and I am eventually going to reveal why. On the 4th February, my Mum passed away. As a rule, she loathed social media, but after the funeral last week, I think she wouldn’t mind me posting the eulogy that I wrote and read out during […]
Continue ReadingThe Coronavirus: A not-so-shimmering sum-up of a needy little nuisance…..
All we’ve been hearing about so far? The Coronavirus. Now, before I start this, I want to make it transparently clear that my entry is not here to offend. It is not being penned to be judgmental or accusatory. It is supposed to make people laugh, give some emotional support in these testing, upsetting, and […]
Continue Reading“You looked nervous!” “It was my first time being a squirrel!?”
Nutty introduction, right? Don’t worry, I’ll fill you in later. Tonight’s entry is going to be all about my rollercoaster emotions when it comes to jobs, the highs, the lows, the in-betweens and the alien-like times where I’ve felt confident and proud in what I’ve brought to the world of work.

Continue ReadingAre Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy emails the new fanfiction fad? Well, it’s definitely mine!
In the summer of 2004, I sent an email as Harry Potter. My friend replied, as Draco Malfoy. A little down the line, we put the emailing behind us. She had her life. I had mine. It was a cluttered time, filled with school, homework, family. The years moved on, but I had never forgotten […]
Continue Reading“Fairy Liquid should be a perfume!” said nobody in the world ever (unless you’re called Rachel Brooker)
I’ve always thought washing up liquid should be a fragrance they sell in shops. …. I’ve also always thought I should walk into ‘Dragons Den,’ pitching the idea.…. Needless to say? Those two events never happened, and when I told most of my friends about these ideas, they would look at me like I’d just […]
Continue ReadingFalling down the Rabbit Hole
Hello, guys. It’s been a week since my life turned upside down, inside out, and fallen down the rabbit hole into a matrix-like reality. Again, this is not a portal in which I am going to explain what’s happened, but I will be voicing my thoughts in terms of metaphor. Why have I chosen The […]
