There’s me. I’m in the college loos. I’m 19 years old, and I'm jumping up and down, hoping my period will start. It’s not even actually due. I haven’t a clue about my body. Cycle? What’s that? I’m in my first serious relationship, with my first love. His name is K*. He was rather lovely. … Continue reading Peri- what?
We’re going through a difficult time at the moment - I won’t go into it but suffice is to say one outcome could be pretty crap. A deep fault of mine is that I allow worry to wrap itself round my heart and squeeze ever so painfully. So much so I find it hard to … Continue reading Thriving?
They walked slowly out of the building; through its long shadows, down the stark white steps and into the sunshine.

I call him CM. Meeting him is the result of a mixture of a challenge with work friends and curiosity. I can imagine HA lifting her eyes to heaven. ‘A dating website? What have I told you?’ Obviously, I’m not put off by other people’s bad experiences. Although, i've heard both good and bad online … Continue reading Bouts of Bravery
