Grief has a strange way of softening the world. Everything looks the same, everything stays the same but it all feels wrapped in something heavier. A fog that makes you ache for warmth. I keep reminding myself that even in all that heaviness, there is still beauty. The mark he left is still here. Fog…

I wrote this in the first few hours after losing someone I loved deeply. A conversation with something I don’t understand but keep being forced to face. Death. You’re a cruel friend. I’ve thought about you, a lot. I know you’ve thought about me too. But you never come for me, do you? You go for the ones I…

Today. Today has been weird. I want to say it has been hard but it hasn’t – it’s just hard right now. My cat has gone missing and I’m feeling guilty because I didn’t realise he was missing until this evening when I think he has been gone since this morning. Trying not to think…

Everything was grey today. The sky. The cars.Even my coffee looked grey. It tasted grey too, the barista forgot the caramel. My tasks at work were grey. Too much paper. Today has felt uninspiring.

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,…

Wrote this right after my diary entry… I needed it out of me. Feeling. Feeling isn’t hard. We all feel. I feel so far apart. I am not here. I am there. Where is there? Not here. I am not. I am not. I am. Here. Here. No. There. Let me be here. Let me…
