Aaaaand I’m an Adult.

Technically I’ve been an adult for a while. But the last few weeks have been some of the hardest so far and have made me realise how difficult it can be.

*Backstory*: I have suffered with anxiety for almost 10 years now. Really thinking about it, I would say it has been longer. The last 9 or 10 years have been the most difficult though. This has been when the anxiety has affected my quality of…

Ladies: Public Service Announcement

I was at a baby shower recently and chatting to the mother-to-be’s long time friend, Jess. Jess and I have met a couple of times but don’t know each other very well. During our general chit-chat I asked Jess a very common, general question:

Ugh. What have I just done? 

I decided to be all informed about what I can do on WordPress with my uber awesome theme. Portfolio pages. The illustratr portfolio template page looks incredible. I. Love. It. So I applied it to my page, as the front page. As per the instructions.

After a bit of forum searching I discovered that you can’t transfer or link your existing posts to the portfolio page,…

Is Permanent Writers Block a Thing?

Well… It’s already begun. I want so badly to keep a blog going, and I’m always so motivated to begin with. Then ol’ Mr Doubt steps in. One of my life goals is to be a writer, although I have never had any form of training or taken any classes. The only feedback I have is through school essays or Anthropology essays from uni – my teachers or lecturers always comment on my writing style. And it is…
