How am I just listening to Sigrid?

-
Today has been such a nice day, despite feeling quite tired most of the day work was good, I’m looking forward to baked salmon for tea and my fluffy dog Evie is currently asleep on my lap.

I love that everyday at the moment I seem to be finding new books or music. It’s so cool to be absorbing so much from all different mediums.

One of these artists is Sigrid. Despite the Norwegian singer releasing hit singles in the U.K. I can’t say I ever listened to her music until yesterday. I think I just have heard bops like “Don’t feel like crying” and “Suckerpunch” on the background at gym’s/cafe’s as the choruses are too familiar, but I’ve never known of the artist behind them. I love how electro-poppy her music is and how simple and powerful her lyrics are.

Another artist I’m just listening to is Maisie Peters, I love how beautifully pure her voice sounds, all the wispy harmonies are so incredible 🌟

I love that music drifts in and out of your favourite memories so often. Last night for example I met one of my best friends for a coffee at a bistro in town and it was so light in there and the sun was coming in. It was so nice to catch up with her as she’s nearly finished all her Uni deadlines for the year. Then Mr Blue Sky came on and I thought “yeah this is right, this song fits”

I hope you’re having such a lovely evening 🌷

(Probably the most personal post I will ever write) Feelings that no one tells you about when you're ill for a long period

-
Hello, Tonight I want to write whilst I'm still feeling pretty raw. Partly because it'll help right now to get how I feel down and partly because this way it'll be as up front as possible and I want to be completely honest, or else to me, there is no point writing at all. Right now I'm not feeling really really down when I say "raw", as I've mentioned before I never am, I'm extremely lucky to never really struggle in that way, but just tonight, right now I am sad. Sad because I miss things being simpler. But I can also see that it is normal to feel this way in what I'm about to explain. Again, I'm not apologising for writing about personal things, but I'm not writing at all for attention; whether people know you're ill or not it doesn't make you better. I just really hope in being truthful, that even if just one person out there has felt the same and has never heard that someone else feels this way, that they find some co...

Why it’s ok to feel depressed after a chronic illness and why it doesn’t make you a bad person, just a normal one.

23 rd March 2018 If you’re reading this and you have a chronic illness, firstly I want to say, you’re really strong. This is not only through the sheer symptoms that having an illness can encapsulate, but also the unnecessary evil of the ignorance that surrounds it. I want to say that this won’t always be the case, no matter how fed up you are of being misunderstood. For me for example, my Nana has my chronic illness and my Mum also has an autoimmune condition, yet I am the only female to be properly treated for Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome – how scary is that in 2019? Still, it shows the best thing it can. Progress. What I also want to say is this. Everything you may feel as a result of what you’ve been through doesn’t mean you’re a bad person, providing you don’t channel those feelings into negativity towards others. The nature of having a condition that perhaps has taken a long time to diagnose, and along the way perhaps has been misdiagnosed, is that some...

VE - 75 years on

-
Yesterday was quite something wasn’t it? It was the only day I can remember where literally everybody seemed to gather together to celebrate the same cause (albeit indoors). With the exception of the Olympics, the World Cup and other sporting events, I can’t remember a day in the historical calendar being so well commemorated. The warm weather was perfect for the trestle-tabled picnics that lined gardens, as Union Jack bunting flapped proudly in the breeze. It’s 75 years since unconditional peace was declared, marking the end of the Second World War and it really did feel a special day. There are so many videos from May 1945, where soldiers are seen kissing girls in fountains, massive tables are joined to fill the street and everyone is beaming at the new feeling of freedom and of peace. Never in my life-time have I seen a commemoration of VE Day quite like yesterday. We have always paid respects in our thoughts and hearts for all of those amazing men and women whom lost their ...
