I woke up this morning at 6 am to the sound of an unfamiliar but beautiful rendition of a song from the Room with a View soundtrack. ABC Classic is my hosts’ alarm clock, and it was a wonderful way to wake up!… Read the rest

Around the fire
Huddle in around the fire of my friends.
It is bitterly cold without them.
Chills of loneliness fibrillate from my core to my throat.
Find a moment in the warmth of the sun,
To form connection through written words.
Counting the moments until I feel their souls again.… Read the rest
Music tribes
Swaying, moving and singing,
Worshipping together, and sometimes,
Connected only for that moment.
The gods touch our souls,
Different times and in different places.
But we share the love.
Heaven is meeting a friend whose taste in music always hits my money note.… Read the rest
The forest to share
My soul is filled with the memory of green space//
Walking in the sunshine along the river//
The energy of the forest has soaked into my cells/
Like air bubbling through a pond of water, covered in lilies//
Elevating the energy of my Sunday//

I have been supporting this latest client for perhaps a month now.… Read the rest

My thoughts are that writing about mental health, pharmacology and psychology from a personal perspective is an exercise in extreme vulnerability. It is also exactly the kind of content that someone who had malicious intent towards me would love to rifle through for unkind purposes.… Read the rest
the will to live
Something is sucking all the joy out of my life, and I think it might be the cutting down of this connection (but I am not sure).
If I could really trust that person, and if I wasn’t so prone to vulnerability and oversharing, that would be something!… Read the rest
online worlds and authenticity
It was interesting to come in contact with our Salsa teacher today, after absorbing a lot of media about his life on social media since the last class.
It felt strange, if I am honest. And it made me realise that no one ever lives up to the lives they put online, or on social media.… Read the rest
a good reason
Another school holiday period. Something has clicked into place in my mind. And now when I see Dads with their kids, and family photos of men with their families I finally understand that this is what is most likely happening in Turtle’s world behind this screen.… Read the rest
