musings of a twenty-something bilingual
I am going through something at the moment. Truth be told, I always am, as is everyone else in the world, and those of you reading. Whether it's normality, or the depths of despair, or exam stress, or money troubles (the list is endless), part of accepting life's phases is part of healing. I am… Continue reading life :: surreal
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

It is but four days now until I begin "living" in a country that's not my own. The excitement is rapidly building, and the things that I needed to sort are falling into place, as if they were designed to from the beginning. I'm already absolutely shattered from such a long, busy, yet totally freakin' awesome… Continue reading life :: impending
Okay so, I should really be concentrating on getting things sorted for France...BUT there's a current topic floating around the media that I just have to talk about. I'm entitling this post 'self' because that's exactly what it's going to be about. I was watching Loose Women a month ago now - youthful programme I know… Continue reading life :: self
*All views are my own. I'm also not a politics student nor a political expert, nor claim to ever side with a sole politician or political party.* A big part of political rhetoric, and emotion-building rhetoric of late has been the use of: "We are not ______" When Manchester was bombed on the 22nd May… Continue reading faith :: not
When I think back to finishing secondary school at 16, I remember people acquiring "summer jobs" before we began sixth form/college in the Autumn. I never had any desire to work or have a job, let alone a summer job. I knew I did not want to sit in an office filing at age 16,… Continue reading career :: beginnings
