Last night I watched a RomCom for the first time in years. A female friend of mine reco'd it, and I felt up for a change. And you know what? It was alright.
Don't get me wrong, it was far from a masterpiece. It was simply a feel good film...

Routine is important. For the past couple months I've not had much of one. Being in between jobs has meant I've had a lot of time to do what I want. But I've not had much brain space.
My mind's been taken up with working out what I'm doing with...

No person is an island. None of us are meant to walk alone.
I've been thinking back on my motives moving back to London recently, and it all comes down to community and home.
They say that home is where the heart is, and my heart has been in London...

Today's the first morning I've got to try and fit a few things in. I've got to write these 300 words. I've got to hit the gym. Then I've got to get to work.
Picking up new habits takes time. They say somewhere around 30 days. Both my writing habit...

Today's a new day, with new experiences, challenges and opportunities.
That's true every day. But especially today. For today I'm starting a new job.
It's always a mixture of excitement, relief and nerves. Excited and relieved to finally get going, and nervous to live up to the expectations others have...

It's easy to say no to things that we want. There are always reasons why something is a bad idea. Always things that can go wrong. Always obstacles in the way from idea to fruition.
Reason never lacks reasons to say no.
Ok, so maybe it's not easy to say...

Getting better at taking one step at a time. That's what I'm trying to do, at least.
I'm a strange character. In some ways I'm able to ignore things that most folks would spend quite a bit of mental energy on. But in other ways, I can think deeply about...
