What’s In A Name?
18 February 2021
Somewhere along the way, the meaning changed. My name became synonymous with mockery, to the point where hearing it actually hurt.
Shouting Into The Void
17 February 2021
Here’s something you might not want to hear: nobody owes your their response.
Drifting
16 February 2021
The feeling of drifting, of existing rather than living, as though life is merely happening to you and not with you, is probably one of the most unsettling experiences I’ve ever been through.
Sleepless
15 February 2021
My battle with sleep is a tale as old as time. If I want to fall asleep, I’m chronically awake. If I want to wake up, I’m an immovable, eternal entity.

A Thousand Roads
8 October 2020
When I think about what I want in life, it all points toward quite a simple vision really. I think getting this pinned down has been one of the main reasons why I felt so lost throughout my late teens and early twenties.
Existential Crisis
