I still don't have the answer to this question. Is it because I just get on with it? Maybe because I've never had a choice? What do other people do? Do they survive? I guess I just find harmony in myself and will myself to be ok. I TRY not to stress. I'm not always… Continue reading Why I’m always okay…

Time
When does anybody have the time? I'm applying for permanent teaching jobs. Most of them are lengthy essay style questions. It takes me from one to three hours to complete an application. What do people do when they need to apply for jobs whilst currently working full time? And I don't mean the old style… Continue reading Time
Comparing your child to a mobile phone
There's nothing special about this Tuesday. It's raining. Pretty Standard for Scotland. I didn't get any work this morning. So now I'm sat here smoking a single skin. Reading. Watching reruns of old shows. The cat is snoozing on the end of the bed. Suddenly reminded of 12 year old me; sat in a similar… Continue reading Comparing your child to a mobile phone
The unwashed duvet effect
I've been meaning to put a duvet cover on my duvet for a week now. Yes im that type of human. The one where you walk in I haven't made my bed. Or washed my bed. The pillows and blankets are still in the same position they were in when I dragged myself out of… Continue reading The unwashed duvet effect
I can relate…
I missed out on tv as a teen/early twenties. I was always out always socialising. People in recent times have made realise how and why I didn't have close friendships. I had a number of interesting experiences but once I'd inundated people with my tales of my life, I had no idea how to formulate… Continue reading I can relate…
What happens when you give the masses knowledge of the results of their behavior…
Don't you just love our society? Do you ever look around at the Vegans and protestors and the single use plastic brigade and think how amazing society is. It's like we all saw Wall-E and went 'nope. Let's do something about this.' It might get up the backs of most people at times, but in… Continue reading What happens when you give the masses knowledge of the results of their behavior…
When People just don’t understand
So it's been a while since I wrote here. It's been a while since I felt the need to. Life is going well again. Well as well as can be when I still don't have a bed to myself or somewhere particularly to call my own. But i have a safe space finally. Somewhere where… Continue reading When People just don’t understand
Lies
I lied. A long time ago. I came to terms with it. Learned from it. Learned not to use the lies to support my self worth. I moved on. Now some of the lies are catching up with me. Now I'm not trusted because of lies I told years ago. Lies I don't tell anymore.… Continue reading Lies
Safe Space
My mum once said to me that the downside to technology is that it lets people in. I remember thinking to myself how crazy that was and how much I didn't agree. Granted, at the time, I hated my home and the people I didn't want to let in were my parents, so technology has… Continue reading Safe Space
Changes
SO much has changed. SO much that I can't even comprehend how much in such a short space of time. I couldn't continue the two lives. I couldn't do it. Back in April, I spent a week in Scotland imagining living there. I hoped it would help me decide either which life to choose. It… Continue reading Changes
