musings of a twenty-something bilingual
So I've hit that horrible point of summer. That nearly the end of August therefore nearly the end of summer phase which seems to result in me feeling blue. At the moment this feeling is heightened by anxiety as I'm stressing over sorting things to move away to France. So far, I'm doing okay handling… Continue reading wellbeing :: self-care
So after a packed morning at Kings, Sophie dropped a beautiful bombshell...We're having roast dinner at mine. Oh yes. I hadn't had a roast dinner in SO long so I was so excited. And it was so good, and lovely to meet Sophie's parents too, who are equally as bubbly and hilarious as Sophie. And,… Continue reading faith :: church hop pt.2
It was about a month ago that my friend Sophie and I came up with the idea of having a 'Church Hop' Sunday.Then when we actually put our plan into action, we realised it was more of a 'Church Swap' than a 'Church Hop', since we were going to my church in the morning and… Continue reading faith :: church hop pt.1

This self-love makes… Continue reading love :: worthy

This year has tested me so much, but my faith is even stronger, new friendships have been made, and I'm happier than I've ever been. It's going to be a stressful summer with SO much to get… Continue reading life :: return
I dreaded waking up today to the 10am release of second year results. It didn't help that I woke up 45 minutes early - I had to fill that time with something other than crippling anxiety. When 10am came, my first demonic thought came: "Why are you even bothering at university Anna"; the second, "You're… Continue reading life :: continue
It's quite hard sometimes to be a "milennial" (despite being born in the nineties) and a Christian. It's challenging.

I'm an impatient bugger. I try so hard to slow down and be a little more patient. But often, I find myself racing life and experiences etc etc. I do still enjoy everything, especially to begin with.
