life after the wave.

The ocean has always been the best teacher. It looks calm one moment, violent the next. It gives and it takes, without warning or apology. And lately, I’ve felt like I’ve been living inside its tides. Life came in like a rogue wave. One I didn’t see coming, one that knocked me off my feet…

less tolerance, more wine.

She’s proud of the woman she’s becoming. Life hasn’t exactly rolled out a red carpet for her—it’s been more like a bumpy backroad with potholes, unexpected detours, and the occasional emotional landslide. There were times she felt like she was falling apart quietly behind closed doors, smiling in public while paddling like hell beneath the…

Dissatisfaction and face fuzz

I just rubbed my hair crème in to my face. I only noticed my mistake when I was combing face toner through my hair. This simple two step fuck up is the best depiction of how things generally play out in my world. Nothing as it should and everything as expected. I like to keep…

new year, who you?

I can’t remember the last time I could breathe. Breathe. The simplest necessity of life. Yes, I took in oxygen for the purpose of, well, not dying, but not to live. I just needed enough air to get me through. After a tumultuous 2021, I had high hopes for what 2022 was going to bring…

smoke & mirrors.

I’m a runner. Very much not of the athletic kind, wine run maybe? When things get hard or overwhelming, I struggle to compartmentalise and rationalise things in my mind. It can all be too much. I’ve mentioned before I feel things deeply – A blessing and a curse, a great and a not so great…

you’re the shit.

When is that last time you told someone, you appreciate them? More so showed them. Do you let people know when you appreciate them or when you are grateful? Or expect them to just know? Like we are all mind readers (no offense to actual mind readers). We often skimp on gratitude and appreciation, at…

dating food.

Since 2017 I have captured 20,889 photos in my camera roll. Clearly, I enjoy snapping away, capturing anything and everything. Moments to take away and reminisce over later. I love the yearly memories that pop up. Amongst the strategically angled selfies, far too many pictures of Matt (I see why he gets annoyed), and of…

this is me.

“I am brave, I am bruised, I am who I meant to be, this is me. Look out ’cause here I come…” Things happen, life changes you. They say people don’t change. They do. Maybe not their core values but experience definitely can’t have some form of impact. If you don’t grow, experience, learn –…

perception on perception.

Fucking perception. I’m not a fan of the word. Or should I say I’m not a fan of my perception of perception – hold tight I feel this one will confuse us all! The definition of perception; the way you think about or understand someone or something; the ability to understand or notice something easily;…

an introduction.

Three years ago my life changed from laundry once a week and hungover Thursdays to navigating through children of all ages, house keeping, relationships, renovating, sports, more animals, and so much fucking laundry. Our life is crazy hectic and we definitely are covering all of our bases but I wouldn’t change any one of them…
