Sometimes, I read something, and it all clicks. This happened to me on Friday. I found this article on Friday, about a woman living with a rare sight condition, called visual snow syndrome. She talked of seeing static dots, flashes, floaters in her vision all the time, things I deal with every day but wasn’t… Continue reading Visual Snow

A Tale Dark and Grimm
When I was away at Chichester, I found a new series I already love, on Netflix. Its called A Tale Dark and Grimm, and its fantastic. Its based on the Grimm Brothers stories. But it actually tells them as they are, no fluff, just blood and guts and gore, with the original scary stuff included.… Continue reading A Tale Dark and Grimm
Roman
The other day, I was looking for some new clothes, for a night out. I was beginning to get depressed, as none of my usual haunts had anything I liked, and the websites for party wear are always for smaller sized people. And then I found this new… Continue reading Roman
Quiet Days
Sometimes, I just need a quiet day. A day to rest, and recharge, usually a Sunday. Time to myself, to rest, and recover from all the anxiety and insomnia of the past week. Its supposed to be a day of rest. Today, I needed one of those days. I felt bad, for saying no to… Continue reading Quiet Days
Blackpool Sea Life
When me and my boyfriend go away somewhere, we usually end up in a aquarium. He loves sharks, and I find them really calming with the sound of the water, so we always find one. We recently went away to Blackpool, for the Easter weekend, and found ourselves at the Sea Life Centre. Normally, when… Continue reading Blackpool Sea Life

And with the next instalment of the Thor movies coming out soon, I’m excited, and its time to talk about my love for these spellbinding myths. Norse mythology was there for me,… Continue reading All Things Norse
Hyacinths
I love hyacinths. They’re one of the flowers my mum introduced me to, when she decided to go big with her garden last year and try planting some new flowers. And I love them. They come in vibrant colours, with these intricate petals, colourful and beautiful. I thought they only came in the deep blue,… Continue reading Hyacinths
Tulip Festival
Last year, me and my mum went to Arundel Castle, to see the tulip festival. And I loved it. I’ve been back since, every year, and its always amazing. I’m not sure what I was expecting. A few tulips perhaps. But they were everywhere. It started outside the castle, with some red and pink ones… Continue reading Tulip Festival
Headspace Really Helps
I’ve been using Headspace for years, and it really helps. I couldn’t do without it. Because for me, meditation is a lifesaver, that makes things easier, and really helps. It improves my mental health, in so many ways. It has lots of helpful sessions that I use all the time to soothe my restless mind,… Continue reading Headspace Really Helps
Problems with Sequels
I’m always a bit wary of sequels. They always come with problems. There’s a few that beat that rule, but not many. I’ve seen it time and time again, in movies and TV. And here is why. It comes with the basics of storytelling, around the Hero’s Journey. This is a structure most stories use,… Continue reading Problems with Sequels
