  • Tired Tired of pretending Tired of smiling Tired of being Tired of work Tired of hoping Tired of being present  So tired

  • I struggle to articulate my thoughts sometimes. Often. I can feel the words on my tongue or like a static in my chest,but I cant tune into the frequency. It’s frustrating,It spills out as tears,or as anger. 90% of the time it’s tears. Since I started journaling,letting the words fall out of me, I have…

  • I’m laughing at myself. I started this blog so I had somewhere to write, somewhere to pour out my thoughts from my overthinking brain, and told myself it might make someone else feel less alone. The joke is on me. I’m putting my thoughts on the internet so I feel less alone. What a silly…

  • I tried writing a letter to my past self today. I couldn’t do it. It wasn’t that it felt too emotionally hard or it physically hurt, it was the fact I had nothing to say. I wanted to tell her that she was strong and she isn’t alone but when I think back to her,…

  • I listen to music. A lot of music. You will find me with headphones on 75% of the time, which doesn’t sound much but I am a mother first, so when I’m looking after my boys, I can’t wear my headphones (I wish). But honestly, even when I’m with my boys, we have music in…

  • In September I took a train, I saw a cloud and it caused words to fall out of me, which then of course made me freak out. These are the words that left me: “Clouds floating by themselves, is that just what 20s are – the loneliness. Surrounded by other clouds but literally in the…

  • I can see in. I can feel everything. But I can’t reach you. I can’t help you. Let me help you. Let me carry this for you. Won’t you let me? You will let me. But I can’t reach you. I’m watching from the other side. Can you see me? Can you hear me? Can…
