Last week, I started re-reading The Vampire Academy series (by Richelle Mead) and I started re-watching Dawson’s Creek. When you re-read or re-watch something, you notice different things, you feel differently because you know what’s going to happen so you focus on other things and can take everything in in more detail. Usually, when I’m [...]

Somebody that I used to know
I think everyone has heard this song now, it’s everywhere. It’s catchy but the reason I think it’s so popular is the story it tells. It’s a timeless break-up song. We’ve all been there and we all know what it feels like. It doesn’t have to just be a partner, it could be a [...]

Why it costs more to be a woman
If women didn’t exist, all the money in the world would have no meaning. ~Aristotle Onassis I read a column in Grazia last week that quoted a report from an America magazine which found it costs more to be women. I always knew that being a woman has its pros and cons (hello, childbirth!) but this article says [...]

Don’t let yourself give up on your dream
Yesterday I read a blog post from the agent running the competition I’ve just entered. Shes’s received hundreds of submissions. I knew this would be the case but reading it in black and white I felt a moment of deflation. Hundreds. How in the world can I compete with that? How can I stand out amongst them? I hated [...]

Pace of life
I woke up this morning and wanted to cry. Some mornings I feel so tired then I have a 2 hour commute and working all day. Plus I have to deal with London where everyone is frantically trying to get to work and will knock you out of the way if they have to. Everyone seems to rush nowadays. We have no [...]

Shine
Sometimes in life you have to deal with difficult people. People who make you stressed or upset, unhappy or miserable. People that try to put you down, make you feel small or blame you for things that aren’t your fault. People who take pleasure in putting other people down. People who have no clue how [...]

Be happy
I think we all have days when life gets us down and we get caught up in our to-do lists or the stress of our jobs or families. Or we keep running for our goals and forget to think about the here and now. We need to stop letting that happen and make sure we [...]

Giving it my all
One of my Facebook friends uploaded that statement and I shared it on my wall / timeline, whichever you prefer to call it. The words instantly spoke to me. They are particularly apt for me right now. Not only do I have to make sure I don’t give up or give in when it comes [...]

Rolling with the changes
I set out in 2012 with some inspiring words as my guide. I spent much of Christmas considering what 2012 would hold for me and I’ve decided it will be change. I’m not usually good with change, I tend to be indecisive and keep the status quo but I know that I need to make some changes [...]
