CW: Childhood abuse, eating disorders, sexual violence and weight loss mentality. It was 1999 when I first heard people close to me talking negatively about my body. 9 years old, in a white Toyota Tarago with my parents and a very nasty aunt somewhere near Airlie Beach. This was our annual family road trip to…

Where have you been?
My home is awash with beautiful chaos, watching on as my best friend packs all his best yellow wares into a suitcase to go back to New Zealand after a well needed trip home and my boyfriend is busy hunting Pokémon from the couch beside me. In the next room my other friend and his…
Yeah okay, but does it spark joy?
You know what doesn't spark joy? My fucking period. You'd think I would've managed to get used to shedding the lining of my uterus - it's only happened every month since I was 10. Yes, I was 10 fucking years old the moment I thought I had minutes to live. Convinced I was dying, I…
Vitamin D
After a 13 year drought from the peen, I'm back on the horse - so to speak. People keep asking when I started to find myself attracted to doodles and to be honest, it's a super hard question to answer - haha 'hard'. I've always found men aesthetically attractive; and all the women and nb…
If you wanna be my lover 2.0

Because excess baggage is unhealthy, unnecessary and pretty expensive. Plus, dealing with your shit is apparently all part of this adulting type deal so, there's that.…
#housewifelife
As many of you are probably aware, I have officially packed up my life and moved to the red (almost) centre of Australia with my lady love and our spotty pooch on a search for bulk coins, adventure and a future filled with travel and excitement. After packing all the boxes, the complete Tetris game…
So, this is Christmas.
This year I found a confidence I have never known. A deliciously divine expression of self love in the form of meditation, reflection, truth, sexuality and compassion for my mind, body and spirit.
Phoenix, Queen of the desert.
I never thought I’d say this - and all of my ex’s would be shocked to hear it - but I want less space.
Be kind.
Let me start off by saying; I'm a sookie sickie bum today with an extremely runny nose and quite an intense case of the "I wish my girlfriend was here to cuddle me" sickness. I'm also a Cancerian and anyone who knows me can attest to the fact that I - no matter how hard…
