A Ribbon of Fantasy
Much to the surprise of most of those who know me well, I did not opt to study a writing or language-based subject at university. This contradicted my educational choices thus far, and was in hindsight quite reckless given that those are the only subjects that I know that I can do. Whilst I love […]
MoreCreative Writing
Hello dears… Just came across my creative writing coursework from a couple of years ago. These are two of the flash fictions which I wrote under the theme of ‘death’. A while ago I put a Creative Writing section on this blog (which never I never wrote anything for) but it got lots of views […]
MoreAn Essay on Aloneness
I have a particular childhood memory that leaps forth from the realms of my usually silent recollections at times of irony. It is this: peering through the family car’s window at a man who was bald, shiny and intent as he walked along alone. Quite suddenly, a terror, as vivid as it was irrational, scalded […]
MoreHow’s India?
Something that seems to intrigue people about me a lot is my colour. I touch on it quite a bit in my blogs, since it is quite relevant to self-exploration and identity.

Chaz and I are now almost 2 weeks into our voyages, and are currently in Kampot, Cambodia. Essentially, this has rendered us a bit sleep deprived, a bit paranoid and a lot sweaty. That being said, it is incredible here. I feel that our whirlwind of experiences over the past 12 days has made me […]
MoreDear Women
Dear women, Before I indulge in something that may resemble criticism, I wish to praise you as you should be praised; you are so much more than the world tries to make you think you are. I am not just referring to the empire of Trump that thinks itself entitled to dictate your reproduction rights […]
MoreAbout Time
Sometimes, I find the positivity of others just a little annoying. Being someone whose mind has been known to wonder into every crevice of possibility, the notion that only the best possible outcome is plausible seems a bit laughable to me at times. What is the point in hope, one must wonder, when it gives […]
MoreHuman Girl
As much as we would like to do as advised by the many memes on Facebook that tell us to move on from whatever darkness lurks in our past, it is (needless to say) a lot easier said than done. We often try to convince ourselves that we have in fact discarded whatever low life […]
