Working Through My Own Internalised Misogyny

Disguising myself as pro-women when I really hated us on the inside — Recently I went for dinner with a friend of mine, Jeannette. When we meet, we sit and discuss really stupid things and never really talk about the world — we’re just one of those friends that meet to escape our realities. For a laugh, I was joking about a recent…

Texa’s 6-week abortion ban and how Governor Abbott is showing his ignorance in regards to the topic. — When I was in college, my sociology teacher always asked us questions about the ever-changing world around us.

Do What You Love and Suffer For The Rest Of Your Life

Rejections may be redirections but it won’t stop me from being any less depressed — Part of the creative process we all face is rejection. It’s everywhere and everyone writes about how that process makes you a better writer. Does it make rejection feel better?

Don’t Ignore the Importance of The NHS & Standardised Healthcare

The slow privatisation of the NHS will do more harm than good in the future years to come — I have always been a strong supporter of standardised healthcare. It was shocking for me to learn how different countries deal with their healthcare system. Most shocking of all is the American healthcare system and how expensive everything is. From ambulances to contraception, everything is way too expensive for me…

The Space Race is A Joke At Our Expense

It’s time the billionaires start paying for their actions…literally. — The recent headlines of billionaires flying into space were filled with mixed emotions.

Is This What Healthy Love Can Do?

A look into the famous relationship of Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker — I’m such a reality-TV junkie that it’s almost an addiction. I can sit and watch different types of reality TV all day.
