The Two Reasons I Gave Self-Publishing A Go

I watched ‘Can I Tell You A Secret?’ and Then Deleted Instagram For Good

When it comes to adopting social media, I was one of the relatively late ones to Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. I'd seen the rise of MySpace and it just hadn't interested me. It was a friend I'd not seen for a while who encouraged me to get going with Facebook. He thought I'd love catching up with people there. And, I did enjoy it. Oftentimes, a bit too much. When I go in, I tend to go all in. Before I knew it, I had hundreds of friends, thousands on Twitter and Instagram.

Dear You, They say "It takes a village" and you hate that saying because it's a stark and painful reminder that you don't have one. It hurts, it rankles and it smarts doesn't it?! I know that you often feel alone, depleted, invisible and torn. As though there's nowhere or no one in which to turn for help. You might at times feel jealous of those who do have support. Anger, too, at your circumstances. Regret for the choices you may have made. Despair at the choices which felt as though they were taken from you. Exhaustion at the monotony of it all, wishing and wanting and needing a break.

Turn Your Handwriting Into A Font (It’s *So* Easy)

Right up there in the things that bring me jolts of joy are colour palettes and fonts. I just love how they bring projects, even personal ones, to life; giving them an energy and identity of their own.

The Reason Why ‘Thinking Positive’ Isn’t Always Easy

The negative stuff tends to shine like a beacon, roar like a lion and refuse to retreat. Positive stuff does happen, and we actively look for it, but it always feels outnumbered by the rough stuff, which starts to make us feel that we're doing something wrong, that we're broken, that we're really unlucky. Or all of the above.

My 2023 Word Of The Year Was JOY

I'm happy to confirm that choosing a word and consciously circling back to it does in fact work! Turns out, that tuning into where you want to be or who you want to be and consistently using it as a 'North Star' is nothing short of wonderful.
