I haven't been posting much at all recently, only because I haven't been feeling myself lately. But sometimes that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Ever pause to realise how much you've changed? There are some days I'm overwhelmed with emotion, the girl I once knew has perished. A new woman is before this mirror of mine waiting to seize the day.

Renewal is only natural. In this present moment we're all evolving with such speed and such ferocity - every detail is a blur.

That beautiful phrase - "stop and smell the roses" reminds me of this. It reminds me that we're all in this fast-paced race, our attention is always on what is to come. Whether that be dinner or the next assignment to feat.

Change is never a bad thing, we don't just need to evolve... we rely on it.

Accept your changes, transform into the person you want your children to be one day. Place everything into perspective, every detail is always worth a second glance.

We all have a tiny hole in us

Sewn into the thin material of our souls

We try to cover it up, stitch it back together

We buy things, try to find love, eat the finest cuisine

But still, that void remains

I believe it is a God-shaped hole

The only puzzle piece that fits

To give others your time

And spread love like a wildfire

Wouldn’t you want that effect

On every person, you meet?

We’re all on the search for happiness

It is the highest form of currency

We know.

Let us try to find it 

When I'm going through a tough day, or encounter a hardship that seems impossible to conquer - I ask myself ’How do I define myself?'

This question isn't easy to answer at first, sure my hobbies and likes form a part of me.

However, there's more than just that; I am the daughter of my parents, a sister to my friends and more than anything I have a legacy to live out.

None of this just applies to just me obviously, every single one of you is critical for a better future. You are more than you can ever initially think. It only makes sense you are here for something great too. Spend your time wisely, and be the best person you can be for today.

Sometimes it takes a book, a movie a friend to realise you’re in pain.

Days, weeks, months of covering up a blood spouting scarred tear of your breaking heart.

It takes just a moment to see, the truth.

But then it disappears again.

Like the flashing silver of a spinning coin.

I’ve immersed myself in reading, now more than ever.

I guess my Arts degree is to blame, but that being said - I find I’m reading because I need to experience what others go through, to solidify my shaky reasoning that I’m not alone.

These epiphanies occur like spilt ink blooming on a wad of tissue; they happen suddenly, then gradually come to an anticlimactic halt.

These realisations need nurturing, with a healthy dose of careful attention;

a sprinkle of motivational quotes and YouTube videos to keep the ground moving beneath my feet.

After all this time, I’ve begun to wonder if it’s worth all the stress - thinking, writing, pursuing.

I know that’s probably my sick-self weighing me down - but today I feel defeated.

Maybe I’m doing too much at one time. I’ve quit feeling alone, since it’s just my own self-importance

telling me, no one else feels the same.

But at the same time I feel wound up, like I’m about to cop maximum impact from a grand piano

Falling from the sky.

Or from a hail stone, the size of a truck colliding with my skull.

It’s days like these, that make certain in my life, I could never be a Philosopher.

All that thinking? no thanks. As a person entering her 20’s I have enough to think about

A future to daydream. Dreams to comb through. Books to read. Places to fantasise of.

Each day is a struggle

Each youth group I attend, I feel it in my bones.

We’re all struggling.

But there’s something beautiful When we struggle together.

We come here, to this cross marked place
