AI picture filters such as FaceApp were something I didn’t take much notice of until the other day when I saw the transformations of some people I sort of know. What was intriguing was that you could see the actual person in the different pictures, even with the gender filters. That gave me the […]

A collection of dresses, tops, skirts and accessories are featured in my wardrobe. After viewing the delightful, mesmerising and elegantly feminine posts from @DeviantSuccubus Trubute […]

Dreams, eh ? They’re something I rarely remember. I’ll often have the vague memory that I must have dreamed before awakening yet almost never recall what it was. So it was a bit of a surprise the other week to have a dream I could vividly recall at the time and even now have […]

Stair Gazing I’ve been thinking about how transient mortality is to other people during LockdownUk CoVid19 pandemic and how the selfish need to be outdoors is at the expense of others. It also made me reflect at finding my father, dead, eyes still open – sat on the bottom few stairs. I’ve always and, probably […]

Denial of Self Sometimes when I look back it can make me feel like I’ve been Peter denying Christ after the Last Supper and a lot more than three times. The parallel that I’d forgotten was that after the third denial the cock crowed and it reminded Peter that Jesus had said Peter would […]

Prompts can sometimes pass by in a blur when you’re not ready to write. Sometimes you look at a prompt and think you have no connection to it. And that’s how it was for this prompt until I came upon this picture.

Content Notice: Suicide and suicidal thoughts. I’ll categorically state here that this is not a cry for help. It’s a place to dump when there’s that realisation that things are not okay. The best way for me to handle that right now is to take a break from the shit and purge some thoughts. […]

Love Letter To A Nobody Reframing my thinking … “People pleasing” is also known as “fawning” – displaying weak boundaries, inviting abusers and narcissists into your space / life with one’s own kindness and compassion, seeing it being leeched away, then turned against the target.

I’ve had a lot of confusion over the years about romance. Growing up, so much propaganda gets bombarded at us. Be good, be dutiful, follow the norms of your parents and grand-parents and you, too, will live the Stepford dream of romance and the perfect partner.
