The Impressions You Leave Behind You (Repost)
Reposting from August last year, because it’s been a year now since I lost all four of my grandparents, plus had an uncle diagnosed with pancreatic cancer (he’s since passed away as well). And, IDK, this felt like a timely reminder. My Nana passed away in the night. I wasn’t extremely close to her, so

A Night Of Grieving
I’m sitting upstairs in my new ‘office’ space, quiet piano music and rain sounds playing to block out the TV below and to help my son block out the sounds of his mind, because he’s having trouble getting to sleep lately (aren’t we all? I slept through the night last night and it felt like

The Impressions You Leave Behind You
My Nana passed away in the night. I wasn’t extremely close to her, so I’m more grieving for my mum’s sake, but regardless, I am sad. On the way in to drop my son off to school this morning, it was raining. The ground was wet. On the way back out, I noticed a set

Speechless: Your Friday Musical Interlude, Courtesy of Aladdin <3
Ermagersh you guys. A friend sent me this the other week and I was just like. 7 seconds in, I was sold, and it only got better from there. This plus Malinda’s Fearless from the other week are my new “play them till the record breaks” song for the rest of the term. Yay! Aladdin

Please Don’t Give Up
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

Humanity Is AWful; Humanity Is Kind. (I Dare You Not To Cry.)
Yesterday, @Nicole_Cliffe, whom I do not know except for this brief encounter, started a thread on twitter, asking for times when strangers have been kind to us. Please. Take time to read the thread. You will not be sorry. This article, linked to in the thread, is also very much worth your while: a story

Art’s Your Product, Not Your Self
I needed this reminder. It’s been seven or so months since I worked on a novel, and restarting after so long is pants-wettingly terrifying. What if I’ve forgotten how to do it? What if it’s all crap? Why am I doing this anyway when I already have a full-time job and more items on my
