Pro-Curvy= Anti-Skinny?

November 10, 2014

Is it just me or have society and the media become very anti-skinny these days? Think about it, media icons like: Kim Kardashian, Kelly Brook, Mariah Carey, Beyonce and Kate Upton who we constantly see making headlines and filling the gossip magazines all have one thing in common…they’re voluptuous women. And that’s great because it means … More Pro-Curvy= Anti-Skinny?

Be A Gent

November 3, 2014

On Saturday night I went out to a club and was hit on by a couple of guys. One watched me for the duration of two whole songs (not even being slightly subtle, literally stood still in the middle of the dance floor) and then crept over when I headed to the bar, grabbed me by the waist and … More Be A Gent

Parents

October 30, 2014

In the last year or so I’ve had a massive epiphany: my parents are not perfect. They’re not always right and they don’t always do the right thing.

A friend asked me a question the other day, why do I write? And it got me thinking. I guess that ultimately I write because it provides me with clarity. As bizarre as it may sound, sometimes I don’t know exactly how I feel or what I think until I’ve put my thoughts down on a … More Why Do I Write?

Expectations

October 2, 2014

Hand on my heart I genuinely believe that expectations are the root of all evil. No really, correct me if I’m wrong but wouldn’t you rather have no expectations and be pleasantly surprised instead of having to experience that soul-crushing feeling when your expectations are plummeted into the ground? Expectations should be avoided at all costs, … More Expectations
