If Not Now, When?

January 6, 2015

All in all last year was a pretty good year for me; I secured two promotions at work, saved a decent amount of money which I’m always adding to, had an insane trip to Punjab with family and a fun holiday to Rome with friends, got addicted to The Mindy Project and Game of Thrones and … More If Not Now, When?

Last weekend we were all crammed around the bathroom mirror engaging in our unique beauty regimes before a night out.

You Made Your Bed…

August 27, 2014

In the aftermath of a betrayal Where do we go? We’re at a dead-end. You’ve been hibernating in your comfort zone Expecting things to blow over Without any effort on your part Expecting me to still be around With my same humour, conversation and energy But if only it was that easy. If only you’d come to … More You Made Your Bed…

Over-Active Imaginations

August 12, 2014

How is it that politeness and good-natured friendliness can be misconstrued so easily these days?
