I ate nothing but crumpets for three days and now I have a cold. I mean I did eat other things too but it feels as though I ate nothing but crumpets because I ate six one day and some more the next.

Drinking as close to as much water one can absorb without … Continue reading Positive Things

If I so much as tried to do something, this overwhelming energy loss would hit me and drag me straight back to where I had just enthusiastically leaped out of. It was like being a naughty toddler who kept … Continue reading Being the worst mum in the world.

I mean, with how complex and deep our minds and the way the world works, it would be conceited for us … Continue reading Manifesting
I just came out of a five day silence. I would thoroughly recommend a period of no speaking or texting to absolutely everyone I know.
