musings of a twenty-something bilingual
There have been critical moments when I wanted to move forward in my life—but I held one foot on the brake. I felt such grief at the prospect of leaving behind relationships and beliefs that were once essential to me, yet these attachments kept me weighted and weary. I'm now learning the joy of letting things… Continue reading life :: forward

Wishing you a very bright and happy Monday morning. World seemed like the best way to address the readers of this post, and… Continue reading faith :: reimagined
I find myself on Valentine's Day alone on the sofa, after having watched part of PS. I Love You with my beautiful friends. Not alone but alone, yet so content with where I am right now. My coffee and cardamom candle is burning, and the lights are on low, and I'm gently watching the ending… Continue reading love :: foundation
Saturday 9th February 2019It's been a while since I've spent a Saturday in a town centre nursing my tired self with a cappuccino. If you hadn't already realised, cappuccinos are my go-to, I feel so basic but you can't go wrong with a lil' coffee and a whole lot of milky froth. Today I have… Continue reading life :: nerve
It's here, the new year. While I do prefer to look back on the year on the 31st December, I felt a short review of the year 2018 was in need.

Two weeks ago, I went on a little day trip to the Lake District with a friend. We town-hopped till we dropped, and I loved every minute of it. There is nothing like driving from Lake Windermere, through Ambleside to Keswick. The scenery is incredible. The hills are rolling, and the weather was so moody that… Continue reading travel :: lakes

This guy, I mean, he's just the one you need to get you through a bad day. Sometimes it's as if God speaks right to me through his words, in a deep… Continue reading faith :: in reverse
Wow, it feels like forever since I have contributed some words. But here I am, returned in force to hit you with some Monday mid-afternoon thoughts. Despite it being my favourite time of year this (past) week: Halloween and Bonfire Night, I've been lacking inspiration like never before. Having been ill with flu what what… Continue reading life :: firework
Vagabond - a person who wanders from place to place […] The unexpected things are the best right? That surprise holiday, that surprise family visit, that surprise best-friend-on-the-doorstep, even that "shall we go to the pub?" question. We waste so much energy on planning. You get yourself all busy up in your diary, jotting down… Continue reading life :: unplanned
