Fraud

Sometimes I wonder what I am doing with my life and what I would like to do with it. The truth is, I don’t really know. I think I will always struggle to find a job that I will be happy in. There is always too much anxiety regarding whether I can ever be goodContinue reading “Fraud”

Friendships and Loneliness

I find it really difficult to describe friendships at the moment. I find friendships really difficult. I am not sure if it is something that would have always been this way, or whether I would have had a very different life and had friends that hung around had I not had all the trauma inContinue reading “Friendships and Loneliness”

It’s been almost a year

It’s been almost a year since my last post. I always have all these great ideas and thoughts of being able to write, and then I never sit down and manage to do it. There are probably many reasons for this, but the biggest is almost certainly that I do not want to spend timeContinue reading “It’s been almost a year”

That I would somehow have time to write for fun in the middle of the stress and pressure of having to write essays and survive everything else that was going on inContinue reading “Time, essays, lockdown, loneliness, illness, exhaustion”

Lockdown Continues

There is a real issue, that is going on, bubbling under the surface. That everyone is going through lockdown, everyone is finding it tough, and so therefore, no one is allowed to complain about it, and no one can recognise the effect it is having on people. There is talk of how it effects mentalContinue reading “Lockdown Continues”

A different kind of Christmas

We all knew this year, December would be different. But I don’t think we realised how things would be. We look back over the last year, and the pandemic has been a year now. And we could never imagine that something could still be shutting down countries and the world in the way that itContinue reading “A different kind of Christmas”
