That’s right folks, I finally conned someone into believing I can be trusted behind the wheel. Watch out road users and pedestrians, here I come! Just kidding. I’ve been told I’m a good driver. Which I should be, given I learned on and off for about four and a half years. That many years, four … Continue reading The end of the road: On finally passing my driving test

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
‘Just keep swimming’ (towards those goals)
“Just keep swimming." One of the many life lessons that Disney has bestowed upon us, and a phrase that's been something of a mantra to me for the past few weeks. It's about mid-July now so we passed the halfway mark of 2021 not long ago, and if you’ve followed my blog long enough then … Continue reading ‘Just keep swimming’ (towards those goals)

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
A look back
I began the year with a look forward, pondering the new year and what it takes to achieve change, so I thought it only fitting to end the year by taking a look back. I thought it would not only give me the chance to consider how I’ve measured up against some of my goals … Continue reading A look back
The Year of 23 and Me
So, I turned 23 yesterday. Last year, on my birthday, I said 22 is less exciting than 21. 23 is even less so, if only because I’ll never again be able to sing Taylor Swift’s 22, whilst having it be accurate. I’ve decided to remedy the lack of significance associated with my new age by … Continue reading The Year of 23 and Me
