Left, right, left, right. My feet hit the pavement in regular, base driven intervals. Left, right, left, right. Walk, walk, walk. Anxiety, sadness and restlessness are what drive me. Streetlights, a half moon, and some stars are my only companions tonight. Them and the song drowning out any noise and any thoughts. On repeat for hours, giving me a regular boom, boom, boom for my feet to move to.

Marching orders: Left, right, left, right
Left, right, left, right. My feet hit the pavement in regular, base driven intervals. Left, right, left, right. Walk, walk, walk. Anxiety, sadness and restlessness are what drive me. Streetlights, a half moon, and some stars are my only companions tonight. Them and the song drowning out any noise and any thoughts. On repeat for hours, giving me a regular boom, boom, boom for my feet to move to.

It was the day before New Year's Eve: Reflections on 2014
There are so many words I could use
to describe 2014: challenging, emotional, grounding, full of sorrow but also
happiness. Long story short, 2014 has been pretty life changing. There are
probably many more I could pull out of the bag but both my limited vocabulary
and time prevent me from spending too much further thought on this. I have lost
someone but have been fortunate enough to be able to learn the true extent of
friendship and gain a certain someone along the way.

Ice Ice Baby: Why I will donate but not videotape
As I was coming back to London
from a weekend spend at home with the family on Sunday, I was lucky (or should
I say unlucky) enough to be nominated for the #ALSIceBucketChallenge by my
lovely friend Jeremy.

Dreams II
“As the water begins to slide up my skin, and I am fighting, giving into you. Like those moments before when you fled out of the door (...) I can breathe, I can see, death he does not bother me, I’ve been thinking it’s a peaceful way to go. I am moving out from the shore, I can’t hear you anymore. There is something calling me from down below.” - Waters, Eliza Shaddad
She runs in front of me with her long, flowing, wavy brown her. I can’t see her face but I am sure I know who she is. Either way I trust her implicitly and follow her, my feet hitting the ground as fast as they can. Running up the hill, heart pounding, I try and avoid falling over.

All I care about is like 3 People: Friendship Choices
I haven’t blogged in a while
because life has been getting in the way. But today has been one of those days
where one thing has led to another and the thoughts that have been bubbling
away in my brain are burning on my finger tips to be put onto (digital) paper.

An afternoon at the Museum of Water
It’s been a while since she came
to visit but my lovely little cousin Maddie came to London yesterday for a few
days. Excited about having a good excuse to go and do something cultural before
she indulges in a day of shopping while I am at work on Monday, I decided to
take her to Somerset House, one
of my favourite locations in London.
Not only is Somerset House
beautiful in its own right but it also always has an exhibition that is both
interesting and unconventional. We went for some quick nosh at Tom’s
Deli before heading in to see the exhibition I had been dying to see for
weeks: “The
Museum of Water” by Amy Sharrocks.

Dreams
The fading light makes it difficult to see. As my eyes adjust to the darkness I can make out trees in the distance; can hear birds singing, the wind rushing through the grass. It smells of fresh air, countryside, flowers and water. A few tender, careful steps forward and I can hear the stream rushing by. Trying to take it all in, figuring out where I am. And what I am doing here.

How
do you write a letter when there is no way to accurately describe your thoughts
and feelings? When every word, every sentence does not feel right, feels
inappropriate or just not good enough?

"I had no idea": Its National Eating Disorders Awareness week 2014
It is no secret that I have been in a pretty
committed relationship with food for most of my life; you can see it, how my
eye light up when I am faced with a particularly delicious piece of cake (or
scallops for that matter) and you can tell by the fact that I could talk about
food (and all the restaurants I am dying to try but technically have no
occasion to treat myself to) for quite a while.
