Credit: Lucas Guimarães/Pexel I got my first tattoo yesterday. A big moment, especially considering that a tattoo is something I’ve wanted for several years. If only vaguely to begin. Still, much as I’ve wanted one and for as long as I’ve wanted one, I was surprised that on the morning of this significant and irreversible event … Continue reading My first tattoo

In need of occasional adjustment – An update on my 2022 so far
Life has been a bit chaotic lately. (And when I say that I’m referring only to my personal life, because my uninformed self isn’t going to go anywhere near discussing the current state of the world.) Things haven’t been consistently chaotic, I’ll admit, but certainly enough that it’s been noticeable, especially in retrospect. It’s been … Continue reading In need of occasional adjustment – An update on my 2022 so far
At the end of a rollercoaster: Looking back at 2021
Credit: Mushmushfun/GIPHY This year has very much been one of…inconsistency, for me. Of highs and lows, progress made, and progress lost. To mention a few things, my fitness journey has suffered the occasional setback; I’ve struggled to publish blog content and to make as much progress as I wanted with my other writings; and, I … Continue reading At the end of a rollercoaster: Looking back at 2021
The journey continues: On continuing efforts to achieve last year’s resolutions
Credit: Tim Mossholder/Unsplash It's 2021! The beginning of a year that will, with any luck, be much better than the year before it. I find myself in a novel position as we enter this new year. I find myself at the beginning of a year that follows another, during which I worked towards my resolutions … Continue reading The journey continues: On continuing efforts to achieve last year’s resolutions
2020 – It’s finally coming to an end
Like many, I’m happy to see the back of 2020, but I certainly will miss my Sherlock calendar. My love for the show made quite the comeback this year. It's almost over! 2020 – a year likely to be remembered in infamy – is finally coming to an end. In less than 15 hours it … Continue reading 2020 – It’s finally coming to an end
Three months to go – Another 2020 update
Just three months of 2020 to go and I wanted to another opportunity to update on my progress towards my 2020 goals, because it helps me think about where I am and where I want to be and keep me motivated to keep working towards them. I also took a moment to ponder the bigger … Continue reading Three months to go – Another 2020 update
On uni nostalgia and well wishes to a Fresher
Some say that university is the best time of your life. I’m not necessarily sure if that’s true, or even if it’s true for me (I am only 24 after all) but I’ve certainly been looking back on that time with no small amount of nostalgia recently. On Sunday, my mother and I dropped off … Continue reading On uni nostalgia and well wishes to a Fresher
On taking a break
Credit: Flow Magazine/GIPHY Sometimes you just need to take a break. Life can get busy, and tiring, and when that happens it’s good – essential, even – to take some time to relax and recharge. That’s what I did this week just gone, in celebration of my birthday week. Lovely as it can be to … Continue reading On taking a break
Past the halfway mark: On keeping in line with 2020 goals
Six months of 2020 have been and gone, and what a set of months they were. So far this year there’s been coronavirus, lockdowns, and political and social unrest (some because of issues stemming from ongoing racial injustice, and some because people have been anxious for life to get back to normal). It’s been a … Continue reading Past the halfway mark: On keeping in line with 2020 goals
Three down and nine to go – An update on my 2020 so far
It’s only just reached the end of March, but it’s already evident that 2020 is a start to the decade that will go down in history – though not for positive reasons. I’m sure many of us were hopeful for the year ahead when it began, and it’s a shame that things already aren’t going … Continue reading Three down and nine to go – An update on my 2020 so far
