"You want the moon?"

One of my favourite movie quotes is the above from George Bailey in 'It's a Wonderful Life'. I rarely like romance films but this one got me so much that I have made two prints of the quote for my bedroom wall and have a moon with a lasso around it tattooed on me. When you're on dating sites you get asked a lot what you're looking for. I worke…

2019: THE FINAL QUARTER REVIEW

It always feels like starting a blog project is such a big commitment. There have been various that I have started or have wanted to start but then never followed through with. In March I decided that instead of writing monthly update posts, to instead write " Quarter Reviews ". I've really enjoyed doing it and it's been lovely looking back over a…

She thought, "If I close my eyes I can't cry"

She laid on her bed, her pillow arranged in such a way that she could cuddle it for comfort. Curtains pulled closed. The world shut out. She felt them start, brewing away. The warmth and the tingle rising. She thought... "If I close my eyes they won't appear" "If I close my eyes they won't fall" "If I close my eyes, I can'…

Cocktails and Chopsticks

Despite a ridiculous journey the afternoon/evening before (because of a missed turn off and ending up a bit too close to the centre of London rather than being in Watford) I'd had a relaxing nights sleep but I woke up in the hotel on Thursday morning feeling a mix of excitement and anxiety. I've met and worked with some incredible people this year and headed…

The Gap in the Curtains

She welcomes the gap in the curtains. One she might usually huff at and, annoyed at herself for not closing them properly, will dramatically get out of bed to rearrange, tutting as she goes.  She opens the windows slightly, unsure really of what she will be woken up to during the night or in the morning but for now the peacefulness is as welcome as the breeze of…

She Breaks

She laid on her bed. The light off. The evening darkness rolling in, the only light coming from the opening in her curtains. She listened to the cars outside. To the rain hitting the window. She looked out at the glittering light bouncing on the raindrops resting against the glass. She hadn't felt like this for a while. Empty. Lost. Like she doesn't …

2019: The Third Quarter Review

As we now head, far too quickly for my liking, into the final quarter of the year it's my chance to look over the third quarter. It's not been the best. It's not been the worst either but there are moments I am trying quickly to forget and to not let consume my life for much longer. I did a 2 part course at work which was really helpful for part 1 but …

The Weekend 04

With weekends off work now I wanted to document not only Sundays, but the Saturdays too. I think that not only will this be a great way to document my life, but also to encourage me to actually do something and to not post "Stayed in bed with a book today" for every week. Click on the image below to see other Weekend posts. This weekend was pretty un…

The Weekend 03

With weekends off work now I wanted to document not only Sundays, but the Saturdays too. I think that not only will this be a great way to document my life, but also to encourage me to actually do something and to not post "Stayed in bed with a book today" for every week.
