Please remember that behind every hello, every ‘like,’ every match, every swipe, every comment and every text, is a beautiful girl. A girl who has feelings. A girl who has been strong for too long a time. A girl who has been fighting to stay brave and keep shining even when she wants to give…
Swipe Strike
I’LL NEVER SWIPE RIGHT ON MY MR RIGHT. It’s a hard life when you’re a catch. You hear stories about SO many fish in the sea but when you’re searching for a barramundi and only reeling in bassa, your chance at love and the ‘fairytail’ mate you always dreamed of pretty much seems like oceans…
Peternity leave ain’t so ruff…
TAKING A STEP BACK TO TAKE CARE OF ME So I’m currently writing this on a Wednesday morning, post accidentally booking an intermediate Pilates class and surviving, whilst sipping on a strong latte and having my mind blown by the aesthetically pleasing looking porridge I ordered. It’s 11am. And it’s flipping great! For the past…
Planting the seed…
CHANGE YOUR MINDSET. EXPRESS GRATITUDE. My favourite night of the week, Saturday, spent with my favourites. 8 month old puppy Frankie and only purchased today, house plant Terrence. Together, we’re living the dream. Whilst I drink wine, Frankie chews on his designated sock, looking at me lovingly every 3- 5 minutes and Terrence just sits…
Apparently, good things come to those who wait…
WELL, I’VE WAITED. AND I’M STILL WAITING. It began on the weekend. When I was confronted with a blast from the past. In hindsight, I knew that all I wanted was a friendship like we had had so long ago with someone new that could give me everything. I reflected. I realised, why on earth…
The darkness looms…
…FIND THE LIGHT… This time I knew. I could feel it coming. The darkness. What can I say? I knew it well. I’d lived with it. The way it clawed into my thoughts and told them lies. The way it left me feeling fatigued. Constantly. The way I needed to sleep so much more than…
Date smarter, not harder.
WHAT I KNOW ABOUT DATING… So it begins again. The online dating binge after another online match gone wrong. The 100 left swipes and 2 right. The sent and awaited for messages. The guessing games. The no replies. The anxiety. The inappropriate or ridiculous texts. It’s way too much effort for this old school romantic…
All of the self’s
CHANGE YOUR MINDSET. CHANGE YOUR LIFE. So here’s me. 30. Single. Pupped up. Still living at home. A dreamer. A creator. A doer. A teacher. A poet. An author. A writer. I once had a plan. A plan to be married by 28, having kids by 30. But plans seem to go out the window…
To all the girls…
YOU GOT THIS! This is to all the girls who are searching for someone who can add to their lives, not become their life. To all the girls who have been ghosted, gaslighted, rejected and hurt over and over again in pursuit of him. To all the girls who keep trying no matter how disheartened…
