Drowning

Each time I get my head above water and catch a breath, another wave sends me tumbling under. These waves are getting stronger, and they’re pinning me to the sandy floor below. My lungs are craving oxygen and I’m going to drown. I’m slowly drowning. It feels like my life is slipping from my fingertips. […]

Phoenix

‘From the ashes, a new life was born’ A common occurrence and the story of my life. It’s a case of 1 step forward then 10 steps back. But here I am; reborn and learning all over again. I’ve had a lot of things thrown my way, some that I thought would take me out. […]

Dust

In the blink of an eye, everything that I had was gone. Once again, I’m left in the dust. I loved with every fibre of my being and I wasn’t enough. The little family that I had built and supported is now shattered. Things were slowly going downhill, but I held onto the hope that […]

Lonely Late Nights

It’s 2am, and the world around you is fast asleep; blissfully unaware that you’re awake. In the darkness of the night, you’re holding your child; nursing them. You feed them, you burp them and you change their nappy. Your partner is snoring slightly next to you. You look down at your child and it feels […]

New to Motherhood

Life has changed a lot this past month, and I’ve learnt so much more than I could ever imagine. On the 25th of September my son was born. It was probably the most stressful and traumatic time of my life. I had been labouring for 12 hours when I was wheeled off for an emergency […]

True Crime Cases

Whether it be Solved or Unsolved, True Crime has been something that has been one of the biggest interests in my life. Ever since I can remember I’ve been watching the Crime Investigation Channel, and watching Crime Documentaries. These past few months especially since being on bedrest in this pregnancy, I watch YouTube videos about […]
