Discrimination Against Introverts While Job Searching
If you’re an extrovert, consider yourself lucky because you don’t have to deal with discrimination against introverts while job searching. The number of job ads I’ve seen where it states they’re looking for a bubbly, outgoing person is crazy. I’m sure lots of professions require people skills, good communication and charisma. However, those aren’t the […]

Unemployment Blues
I believe that everything happens for a reason, in God’s timing, but the unemployment blues have hit once again. I’ve been unemployed since the end of April, but it only really hit me last week. At first, it was nice to have free time to go flat hunting, pack up my stuff, and plan the […]
Fear of Abandonment

“No” is a Full Sentence
I started 2024 with the realisation that I still don’t know how to respond to people who don’t know that the word “no” is a full sentence. What do I mean by that? I mean that I don’t owe anyone explanations. I don’t owe information about my personal life. I don’t owe anyone anything that […]

I hope nobody needs to read this, but if you do – I hope this helps you find a reason why you should stay. It’s the holiday season which can be very cheerful or painfully lonely. Family drama, broken relationships, non-existent relationships – it all comes to the forefront. Everyone’s social media is flooded with […]
Surviving Your 20s
Now that I’ve just turned 30, I thought I’d share about surviving your 20s. My twenties were wild. But not in the way you might think. I didn’t spend my free time partying and going out, I didn’t really have much free time. I spent years working 30-40 hours a week to put myself through […]
Life After Trauma
I thought it’s time to write about life after trauma for a couple of reasons. Firstly, people who haven’t experienced trauma struggle to relate. Secondly, I’ve felt like people have questioned my certain decisions because they don’t see the behind-the-scenes. So, here’s a look at what life has been like now two years after certain […]
