I just had a quick read of all the drafts I've made since I last posted. I'm wondering why I didn't post them because after reading them, they seem fine, but as I think about it more, I realise I still have significant insecurities when sharing written pieces.

I have to admit it hasn't been a priority since the lockdown and I guess I fell into auto-pilot and then self-condemnation at the time I had wasted. There was no mental relaxation. I tried meditating, and for those moments or days, I felt … Continue reading Self Care – Journal
I've been feeling exhausted. Not physically but mentally. Tired of my thoughts, tired of overthinking, tired of any and everything I think I have to do, should do, want to do but don't. I know I should be practising self-care, but when I take a moment to think about what to do, all I come … Continue reading Random ramblings
Deja VuMy production levels started well last week but by Wednesday I found myself distracted by social media. Endless scrolling on issues such as Black Lives Matter and COVID 19.
