How Social Connection Will Save the World

5 years ago, an idea changed my life…well, it was less of an idea, more of a breakdown. One day, I was weaving my way through the tube platform, caught up in the usual busy-ness of London, when suddenly I thought of my grandpa George. At the time, Alzheimer’s was…

The Crazy Lady Stuck in My Head

I was struggling to get out of bed. There was a crazy lady stuck in my head. For months she was shouting at me. Calling me stupid. Unprofessional. A thief. Fat. Yeah…fat. She told me she was getting rid of me. That she wouldn’t pay me a dime for my time. That…

The Longing

There are some days where the world is dreadfully quiet. Even the screeching sound of a train on its track seems so external that it doesn’t impact the emptiness inside your mind. Everyone seems busy — except for you. …

Bipolar: Mariah Carey & Me.

Mariah Carey came out as having bipolar disorder last week. And it got me thinking: Do I have bipolar? Trending across all social media channels, she was thrust back into the spotlight which, admittedly, she has hardly left since her debut album back in 1990. For some reason, we thought…

The World I Want to See

I’ve always heard people say: “Be the change you want to see in the world.” But I guess I’ve never taken it seriously. There’s so many changes I want to see, how can I be every single one of them? Sometimes, you become the answer without intending to be. However…

Embracing the Winds of Change

Today The winds of change are all around me. The leaves of the trees outside my window twist and turn as if powering the words that flow through my mind. They twinkle in a sunlight that does not forget the days that came before, and does not resist the days that…

Taxi Taxi — Don’t Touch Me

To Move or Not To Move?

The idea of moving to another country is always there. The opportunity to move to another country? Not necessarily. But what’s the difference between an idea and an opportunity? An idea is one that can forever exist in your mind. One that you do not act on. …

Great Expectations? I Think Not: Part 1

Quicker than the blink of an eye, expectations of ourselves and others are formed and destroyed. That’s how the mind operates. At least, that’s what I used to think… As a child, exposed to the world, I learned to relativise my life with others’. When I understood what other people’s…
