Look Back
Look back, look forward, stay present. I love a good motivational quote. I’ve expressed before how Pinterest is one of my coping tools. There is one that comes up a lot which is “don’t look back, you’re not going that way”. Now, I get it, I do. There is another quote about living in the…

Procrastination
Hello fellow warriors! Just checking in 💜 Is anyone else feeling like a big barrel of ‘I don’t know’ at the moment? I feel like my brain is going at 1000mph and there are so many things I want to do or need to do, but instead… I do nothing. I get so overwhelmed with…

Coping Tools
Hey there! I felt the need to write a post about some of my coping tools, it may not work for everyone but you never know, it could help someone! So if you’ve read all my blogs, or know me personally, you’ll know that I didn’t always talk about my problems. Before I had my…

First blog post
First ever blog post! Now this is scary. At any one time there will usually be what feels like a million thoughts buzzing around my head. Sometimes I write them down, sometimes I type them on my phone, just to get them out of my head. Well now I’ve decided to put those thoughts out…
