Just some random musings on the state of my life this evening, journal style, because yes, I’m writing this in the evening even though it’ll show up first thing in the morning – not that that matters, because by the time you read it, it could be morning, it could be evening, it could be […]

This one hit me hard at some point last year, right in the middle of trying to heal from burnout, trying to slow my life down so it doesn’t always feel like a breathless, frantic, slightly panicked rush. Therapy is great. Journalling (to my eternal irritation) works amazingly. Learning growth mindsets and cognitive behavioural therapy
Oof, this one’s rough. But it’s *worth* it. I remember too clearly that heading-for-burnout mental state where everything felt urgent, everything felt critical, nothing felt like something I could afford to drop. I used to make records of my time, trying to justify (to who?) why I felt so exhausted: See! Look! No spare time,
Stumbled across this partial repost in my ‘maybe turn into a poem’ folder last week and it was… timely. I’m so keen, champing at the bit even, to start looking ahead, looking outward, reaching for this new future I have before me, and it’s so very hard to be patient, to walk slowly, sustainably, to

It’s a reposty kind of week because Time is a Thing which is apparently Limited (and I am not okay with this). Content warning: Robin Williams’ suicide; the Ferguson riots; animal captivity; the Stolen Generation; school-based trauma. Yep, it’s a light one.

It’s too hard to coordinate getting photos into the post this week – covid fatigue, burnout fatigue, parenting fatigue, emotional fatigue – it’s been a rough two weeks. So instead, you get a poem that I wrote last week, which I am definitely counting as ‘making something’. <3 On Healing: A Letter To Myself With

Other much more expert people than I have had much to say on this topic, so I intend to keep this brief. But I just wanted to note that so far, in my experience, being brave has never let me down yet. Lonely and feeling nervous to reach out? Do it. There are so many
Just some midweek encouragement to keep us all going: showerthoughtsofficial: Your future self is hating you for the poor decisions you’re making today. coffeeandcastiel: bold of you to assume current me isnt also hating myself for making the decisions that i am making duamuteffe: Hello, I am old and thus have a large amount of

I was trawling my archives the other day (because occasionally I check my stats for website views, and invariably someone has found a random article in the archives to read and I’ve no memory of what it is, so I click through to remind myself) and found the post below. I think, in this day

A repost, because apparently I needed it this week. Thanks, Past!Amy. Thanks. From 16 March 2015. There are days when you just want to wash your hands and quit humanity. You know the kind. Maybe someone (or a whole host of someones) was rude to you; maybe people were petty or spiteful or jealous or
