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…

Resolutions.
2016 has been a pretty intensely shitty year. I know I'm not alone because almost every conversation I've been a part of and meme or status I've seen have echoed that exact sentiment. 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…
I’m happy, what should I do now?
Happiness is so weird. We spend our entire time on this planet focused on the pursuit of happiness and then when we find it (or something like it) and suddenly we start to feel unworthy. It's finally here and we tell ourselves that we're not deserving and feel as though it may be ripped out from under…
Where the rainforest meets the sea.
This week I had the pleasure of spending an hour with some babes chatting on Joy 94.9 - Australia's only LGBTQIA radio station - about growing up and coming out in a rural town. We talked about how our childhood may have shaped us and whether we could actually see any positives in the towns we've since left…
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…
The F word.
I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that it won't come as a surprise to you that I am a feminist and without sounding too naive or idealistic, you're probably one too. Let's start off by saying, I'm not an academic. I haven't enrolled in gender studies or spent my life researching…
Tell me sweet little lies.
Human beings have literally one job; be good. Good to the environment, good to each other and good to ourselves. We don't always get it right but the biggest mistake you can make in life, is believing that everyone has the same moral compass while on the path of goodness as you. Don't bother acting…
