Navigating Adulthood – One Obsessive Thought at a Time
In July 2023, I will have been working on the Marketing Communications team at my local hospice for two whole years. It feels like I’ve been there so much longer than that, though. I don't want to be dramatic, but t’s the first job I’ve ever worked in where I actually feel happy. I feel… Continue reading Life Lessons from Working at a Hospice
Back in June 2019, when I was a bright-eyed and bushy-tailed new blogger on the scene, I wrote one of my most successful posts - a letter to my younger self. It was a prompt I kept seeing when searching for content ideas, and I kept putting it off. I wasn’t sure about the logistics.… Continue reading Another Letter to My Younger Self (2023)
Working in the job I do, I’ve seen a lot recently about Dying Matters’ #IRemember campaign. The campaign is running from 7-13 November and provides us with a chance to share memories and stories of loved ones we’ve lost. Different cultures and faiths all over the world have their own ways of remembering and honouring… Continue reading I Remember
Hello. Welcome to another edition of Sassy Cat Lady - The Grief Diaries. Not that that’s the official title, but I just wanted a subtle way to warn you that I’m still shrouded in my massive grief bubble, so my dark, self-loathing humour and thirsting over Paul Mescal is still on a bit of a… Continue reading Everything I Miss
CW - This post contains strong language and discussions of grief and loss. Hello. How is everyone? We have lots to catch up on. I’m not sure if this is to be my big re-entrance into blogging. I’m not even sure it’s going to be any form of re-entrance. I just wanted to address my… Continue reading May
The irony of this post’s title is not lost on me. I’m barely keeping up with writing a blog, as you’ll soon read. Life is hectic. I feel like that’s such a piss-take to some - I don’t have any kids, I’m currently working from home, and I generally have no more than one social… Continue reading Attempting to Keep Up A Blog | 30 Before 30
I’ve loved writing my Sounds of Me series, and today marks the final instalment. Of course, as you’ll know, I can’t take credit for it. If you’ve read this series from the start, you’ll know that I drew my inspiration from my lovely friend, Dom, who is the voice behind the Instagram account @lyricallifebydg. Dom… Continue reading The Soundtrack to Adulting | Sounds of Me Part 4
It feels like it’s been a while since I wrote another instalment of my Sounds of Me series. Since my last post, I’m excited to tell you that I’ve actually recorded a podcast episode of Lyrical Life Disorganised Waffle with my lovely fellow writer pal, Dom G, who inspired me to create this series. I… Continue reading The STILL Awkward AF Later Teenage Years | Sounds of Me Part 3
It’s time for another instalment of my Sounds of Me series! Today, we’re entering into the painfully awkward years of early secondary school and believe me, it’s cringe AF. From hiding my love of Kylie Minogue and my trauma over Steps breaking up to discovering the world of emo music, it all happens. Awkward AF… Continue reading The Awkward AF Early Teenage Years | Sounds of Me Part 2
It’s time for a brand new series of posts, and they’re all about music and nostalgia (don’t worry, they won’t be completely centred around Taylor Swift, either). I’ve been inspired by a fellow writer within the creative community to create this post, and that’s the fantastic Dom G. Dom is a published poet who writes… Continue reading Childhood Bangers | Sounds of Me Part 1
