The start of my Self-Employment Journey!
As you may have gathered from the pretty self-explanatory title, I have left my employer and have begun to commit 100% of my time to earn a living as a freelancer doing multiple projects at a time. I wanted to start my journey through the, quite frankly, scary change of work style that was previously anonymous to me. I hope that some of you will learn from my mistakes and hopefully achieve some personal goals along the way!

If Ice is a Rock, then is Water Magma?
This post was created with the support of OpenAI. In the fascinating journey of understanding our planet's diverse geological phenomena, we sometimes stumble upon concepts that seem almost paradoxical at first glance. One such concept is the intriguing comparison between the definitions of rocks and ice, which leads us down a path of discoveries that blur the lines between what we traditionally perceive as distinct natural occurrences. As we delve into this concept, we uncover a world where ice mirrors the characteristics of rocks, and water shares attributes with magma, inviting us to see the Earth's wonders with a fresh perspective.

The Joys and Struggles of Moving to London
I am fascinated by the fact that each of us has our town, city or village that they call home, and that place is theirs and only theirs to call it so. Some decide to stay where their roots are bound and live their lives close to normality. Others, like myself, are travellers and move from destination to destination, never really settling down. In the last five years, I have lived in five various locations spanning the length of two countries, England and Portugal. After finishing college in York, UK, studying abroad in Guimaraes, Portugal, and graduating from Manchester, UK, my friends and I decided to move forward together and relocate ourselves and our theatre company to London.

Plutus Playground
Today, someone left a strange box on my doormat. Encased in black cellophane with rings of duct tape binding it all together, this peculiar package looked challenging to open. At first, I was excited, I loved getting deliveries, but the more I thought about the details, the more suspicious I became. Questioning its origins made me hesitant to bring the abandoned package inside. I couldn’t recall actually purchasing anything that would serve as an explanation. Being estranged from my family and having not made any meaningful connections with another human in recent years led me to guess that this was not some pleasant, surprise gift. I decided to bring it inside; standing in the cold wasn’t going to answer any of my questions. The package itself was no bigger than a footstool, but whatever it was, it wasn’t light!

When the Sea-Goat Climbed Teide
Astrology. The study of the movements and positions of the stars is believed to influence our species and environment. You can trace back any ancient civilisation and observe their close relationship with the stars. Some saw them as gods, while others as ways of navigation. We can trace back the roots of astrology as far back as 32,000 years ago, between 30,000 and 10,000BC, to ancient cave paintings marked with lunar phases seen at the time. No matter what your view is on astrology, we can all agree it provides some phenomenal reading.

I Got My COVID-19 Vaccine Today
I got vaccinated today. I’m a 23-year-old asthmatic with lung damage after contracting H1N1 (Swine Flu) as a child, and although it’s been over a decade since, a few years ago, I had bacterial pneumonia, and my lungs still feel as though they have yet to recover fully. So it’s safe to say that coronavirus would have a great time in my alveoli. It’s no secret that I’ve been somewhat terrified since the moment it was announced that the virus had been declared a pandemic, so to be offered a vaccine came as a pleasantly welcomed surprise.
