Timpi "You'll be fine!" Said Frank's Mother, her soft fingers making final dabs at his face with cotton cloth, "You know some of the other boys going." Frank shuffled on his feet. It was hard to argue with his mothers face, her smile beaming down on him proudly, but he could tell her words of encouragement were …
Word-High July: Kilig
Butterflies His fingers shook with nerves and anticipation; tracing unseen circles on her thigh. Their chests rose and sank with shallow breaths and anxious heart beats; the once rhythmic patters now lost within a cadence of their own. He smiled, she bit her lip. Entwined together, skin caressing skin, they were lost unto each other. In this moment only they existed, in …
Word-High July
I’ve decided to take part in Wordhigh July; a word challenge with an open invite that you can find here. I've seen a few word-prompts scattered about on WordPress, but this is the first challenge I've been genuinely excited about. Is that because I found it based on recommendation of fellow blogger Sam at Mousehound Writes? (Partly!) …
My Lens: Part 2 – A Happier Perspective
Are you a positive or a negative thinker? Our mindsets and thought processes shape the world around us much more than many people realise. When you're angry and annoyed, little things can seem more infuriating. When you're already sad, little things seem more upsetting. So what about when you're happy? Last week I wrote about …
Leaving the EU: My Thoughts.
Those of you that know me will know I'm an advocate for positivity and compassion. In everything I do, every situation I come across, I try to see the good in that scenario.

Reward #MondayBlogs
I haven't had much time to myself recently. It feels like my schedule is forever getting busier and I just don't have chance to step back and breathe in my own space. Heck, I haven't sat down and properly played a video game in about 2 weeks, which for me is some sort of record. …

Maybe it's reading, writing, or photography, and you tell people you love nothing more than to be doing these activities... Yet you never do. This is my constant problem. Despite telling people I love writing, despite having an imagination …

Lighthouses
Last Monday I found out I'd had an offer accepted on a house. It's to be my first fully owned and non-rented home, where my girlfriend and I will live. A truly exciting, if not somewhat stressful, premise. I can't understate how happy we were. We went to bed and barely slept; our minds swimming …
Being there
It can be crippling to watched a loved one, be them friend or family, struggle with their lives. Whether they're just having a rough few days, or whether they're genuinely beaten down, it's crippling all the same. As an on looker, one that cares about them, it's painful to know that you can't really help. …
