Finding myself again
For a while, everything felt heavy. Getting out of bed felt heavy. Making decisions felt heavy. When everything in your life changes at once — where you live, who you’re with, what your future looks like — it’s easy to feel like you’ve lost yourself somewhere in the chaos. And for a little while, I…

Living In Limbo
Living in limbo is uncomfortable. It’s waking up and not knowing what your life looks like six months from now. It’s missing someone and trying not to text them.

They say moving is one of the most stressful things you can do in life — and after the last few months, I can confirm it’s true. My boyfriend and I recently moved from our little one-bedroom flat in the city into a two-bedroom house in his hometown village in Northampton. It’s been exciting, messy,…

Changing My Life Goals (And Being Okay With That)
When I was 15, I decided I wanted to be a doctor.My parents were thrilled, and honestly, so was I. It felt like the kind of goal you could proudly hang your entire future on — smart, respected, stable. I spent most of my teenage years working toward it, and when I got into university…
