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…

Is Beauty Deadly?

The realities of cosmetics surgery and enhancements — In recent years, the rise of cosmetic surgeries has been on a steep incline. It seems that there’s nothing we cannot do, from invasive to non-invasive procedures, to change anything we want about ourselves. I’m not here to argue about whether or not we should or shouldn’t subject ourselves to…

The World Needs More of What Your Create

Keep your heart — you need it — Money isn’t everything but we’d be foolish to not admit that money is also, unfortunately, everything. All we do in life requires money — to eat, to live…even the money we earn isn’t free, we have to pay for that too. When the unconscious decision to stop writing came, it…

Women’s Healthcare Needn’t be an Issue nor A Debate

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? No. It still sucks so I’m not going to write about how rejections are great because we all…

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 War on Vaccinations Have Begun

We were waiting for better days, but now people are just travelling and attending festivals…unvaccinated. — The war on vaccinations have begun in my world and as I’ve seen on Twitter, it has for others too. For me, the pandemic has opened my eyes to a world that I’ve never seen before. My rose-tinted glasses came off and exposed some of my friends for who they…

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. I’m sure many, like myself, have had dreams of going into space before. I’m sure there are still plenty of children now who dream about space. To these kids, dream on that’s what we need on this…
