I know I haven't always been nice to you. I've promised to treat you better, love you harder, be more loyal and less judgemental. Empty promises spilling out through my lips daily and filling the air around me with shame and guilt. Enter sadness stage right, perpetuated by the cycle of punishment and apology for existing…

How to: Online Dating.
So, I got back on Tinder. I know I said I was going to leave the online world alone and focus on IRL interactions but it was just so easy to swipe your way to satisfaction, or so I thought. In my humble quest for some summer lovin' of my own, I came across a few very…
Run that by me again.
'Love and other jokes.' was one of the very first pieces I shared with the interwebs a year ago during a time in which I was very hurt, emotionally vulnerable and existing in a very cynical frame of mind. So much so, that after looking over my list of helpful tips/hints for anyone wanting to enter…
Back 2 School.
I'm not quite sure if it's the intense Melbourne heat getting to me or if I've just had too many 'special' brownies to make good decisions but here I am planning my 10 year High School reunion with one of the best humans on the planet, via text. Who, coincidentally, just happens to be one of…

A year ago today, I had no idea what heartbreak really meant. A year ago today, I couldn't even begin to comprehend just how much comfort you could find in seemingly meaningless items like a hanky or an old button up shirt. A year ago today, we held our hearts in our hands as we whispered Goodbye…

Tales of hatred, humiliation and disaster have filled our Newsfeeds and we've all fallen victim to clickbait media shitstorms created to distract us from…
Hello, it’s me.
Let me start off by saying that I cried today. I cried real, raw, gritty tears of exhaustion, love and blessings. Now that the tears are gone, I am feeling on top of the world after securing tickets to see my home girl Adele when she tours Australia in March next year. Words could never…
Things that give me the shits.
Don't worry guys, I'm still over here floating along on a cloud of fairy floss and sipping on the sweet nectar of bliss. It's just that I've really been thinking about the little things this week - you know the ones that we're not supposed to stress about? Yeah those. It's way healthier to just get it…
Not today, Satan.
Get out your ugly undies because it's that time of the month. The dreaded 3-5 days that comes around to destroy all plans and hopes of your future because the lining of your uterus is shedding and you are convinced this may be the time that your period actually kills you. Let's take this back to the start; the…
To Dad, with love.
This Sunday is Father's Day. A day to celebrate the men in our lives who nurture our creativity and strengths, love us unconditionally, protect us from the monsters under our beds and help us navigate the bad choices they know we are sure to make. Men who are connected to us by blood or by love…
