a twenty-something creative mess // mid-size, lifestyle, positivity
Anyone else feeling like they are in an Orwell novel or a Black Mirror episode right about now? I know I am.

Thank goodness! And by thank goodness, I mean thank goodness for finally getting a diagnosis; I’ve been suffering for over nine months with severe symptoms that no-one could pinpoint the cause of.

(Well, I don’t know if we’ll ever be post-COVID, but you know what I mean…) Ya’ll ever get stuck thinking about your achievements and goals in life? Oh, that’s just my highly anxious brain? Ah. Right… Nah, I know we all get caught up in thinking about what we’ve done in life, or what we […]
