Anxiety often hides behind opportunity. It’s that trembling mix of fear and hope we feel when standing at the edge of change. But what if anxiety isn’t just a warning — what if it’s a sign we care deeply about our future? Don’t silence it. Learn from it.

It is time to crucify the self critic.
Self-criticism can be relentless — a quiet voice that chips away at confidence, joy, and self-worth. But it’s not truth; it’s habit. Recognising when you’re too hard on yourself is the first step to breaking free. It’s time to silence that inner saboteur and start approving of yourself instead.
The disaster of getting inside your own head.
When you get trapped inside your own head, perfectionism and self-doubt can become your worst enemies. We chase impossible standards, forgetting that perfection doesn’t exist — only progress does. Learning to silence that inner critic and embrace imperfection is the first step toward genuine confidence and peace of mind.
Don’t let the past dictate your future.
Your past may have shaped you, but it doesn’t have to define you. Whether childhood trauma or heartbreak in adulthood, healing begins when you challenge negative self-talk and reclaim your story. With reflection and self-compassion, you can step out of the darkness and build a future guided by strength, not pain.
Where Words Leave Off, Music Begins.
In this post, I explore how music speaks when words fall silent. From its ability to unlock lost memories to its power to shape our emotions, music connects us in ways nothing else can. Whether healing heartbreak or brightening grey days, sometimes a song says everything we cannot.
Self Injury, Self Harm.
In this post, I open up about the reality of self-harm — not as a cry for attention, but as a misunderstood coping mechanism for deep emotional pain. Drawing from my own experience, I explore why people hurt themselves, how stigma isolates them, and what real compassion and support can look like.
New Beginnings (Vlog)
After a challenging start to 2018, I’ve put together a vlog to share a fresh chapter and reflections on overcoming personal battles. It’s a celebration of resilience, moving forward, and embracing new beginnings—thank you for continuing to follow along on this journey.
To care is to be vulnerable.
In this post, I explore the paradox of caring: to truly invest in others is to open yourself to vulnerability. I also share a video of me calling my mum as I receive my undergraduate degree results—a moment full of relief, joy, pride, and raw emotion.
Freedom: the core component of anxiety.
Anxiety often arises from freedom—the ability to make choices and face uncertain outcomes. Whether it’s big life decisions or everyday possibilities, the weight of options can feel overwhelming. In this post, I explore how accepting what’s beyond our control and embracing the opportunities we have can help transform anxiety into curiosity and growth.
Fear does not stop death, it stops life.
Fear can consume us, holding us back from truly living. It thrives in the moments we overthink, obsess, and let anxiety take control. In this post, I explore how fear doesn’t prevent danger—it prevents life—and how confronting it, rather than avoiding it, can open the door to courage, growth, and unforgettable experiences.
