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…
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…
'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…
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…

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…
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.
