Last night there was a power blackout and I was glad. Part of this mental health experiment was removing myself from this constructed view of other people’s lives. I don’t know why social media makes me anxious. It makes me anxious in the same way as my former benzo addiction. It’s something that I know […]
Here I am feeling like Carrie Bradshaw (and I mean in a pathetic way- how do I purposefully not ask rhetorical questions to my audience to avoid looking like I idealise the worst one out of all the sex and the city characters? If you’re a Carrie- you know you’re shit. It’s fine. I still […]
Guys guys, seriously! Yesterday I made jar pasta sauce from scratch (kinda). As in the jars of sauce you buy in a supermarket. I made that! Food in my family is a thing. We’re ethnic and ethnic food guilt is real- you cannot leave here hungry. I have never seen anyone walk into this house without […]
I need to be reliable- cause I know, dear readership that your morbid curiosity into my life is penultimate to your being. I have committed to doing this everyday maybe because it is the only thing that gives my life structure. Writing this blog is like sitting in a car, parking it under a train […]
Fuck. Everything feels really inescapable but I think that it’s the lack of sleep. So I don’t really care what you want to read about. This is more about what I want to write about. I think the first thing is how I’m second guessing my choices but I made them already so jump in […]
I’ve been writing this piece for a while. When something really shit happens to you there’s this idea that if you can find forgiveness, you can find peace. Yeah, that’s pretty rich; just wait until you need to apply the advice into your own life. See how much forgiveness you got in you then. When […]
If I can compose a list of 10 life lessons I learned in 10 years I’m sure my grandmother who is turning 85 next week has a much more impressive list. She said something really interesting to me about how the Lord (she is the most catholic person you’ve ever met. Jesus is hard reppin’ […]
Today is my birthday. Moment of silence please. Don’t even say it. I’m not having a breakdown over my age, I look 17, and it’s fine. The secret is sunscreen cause it certainly isn’t gentle living. I wish I could just be excused from my birthday, like my fams could just ignore it like they […]
Omg guyZ, praise be to any deity. I slept. No nightmares. Every day blogging is hard. It’s kinda like a diary but less complaining and more self-deprecating. I haven’t figured out my posting schedule. I haven’t figured out much yet. Oh I did get google analytics and that was a whole thing. I got up […]
Of course it wasn’t going to be easy. Melbourne wants to keep it’s hooks in me but I am free. Eight-hour international flight delayed by two hours equals missing the domestic. Brief five-hour stint at the hotel (not awful, not opulent) and I am back in an airport trying to catch a 4am flight. Total […]
