Charles Manson Was Right About A Few Things
For those who don’t know who Charles Manson was a criminal, major racist, and cult leader in the 1960s. The cult was named the “Manson Family” which consisted of around 50 members who lived hippie lifestyles, indulged in drugs, spent time rummaging through garbage cans for free food, and had 10 rules of the clan.

Why I Don’t Talk To My Family or Friends About My Writing
I don’t talk to anyone about my writing or about all the processes, emotions, and hard work involved. The above image is exactly how I describe my writing to my family and friends. It’s mine and you’re not allowed in my territory. I built this baby from scratch and I’ll shoot you on-site if you get your feet on it!

Drinking Cows Milk Is Not Cool Anymore
Do you still drink cow's milk? Full fat? Semi-skimmed? If you answered yes, you won’t be allowed to sit next to me in the canteen for breakfast I’m afraid.

The Importance of Working Your Contracted Hours
Let me begin with my current scenario. In May 2021, I thought I had landed my dream job in Human Resources. Considering I had absolutely minimal experience in the department, I had been considerably lucky and performed extremely well at the interview. At first, I didn’t even get the job, but it turns out that the candidate who was initially offered the role turned down the position.

From A Distance
Daniella lived right in the heart and soul of London. Even better still, her apartment stands tall and proud over the River Thames with a first-class view of Canary Wharf. After graduating with a 2:1 and being given her dream job working in the local hospital Mortuary, could life become any better?

Working From Home is ImPAWssible!
Meet Binx. This is my 5 month old kitten who is an absolute living nightmare. Well, I say it's my cat but actually, it's my housemates. I had moved in about two weeks ago and this bundle of nightmare-ish fluff was the move-in gift I received.

A Diet Drink Nearly Made Me Swallow My Life
At the age of 23 with no underlying health conditions, I nearly had a heart attack. The entire thing was my fault. Due to a ridiculous pining to lose weight and keep up with the skinny girls on Instagram, combined with the weight I never really had in the first place, I had decided to consume a fat burner drink.

Turning My Passion into My Profession
When I said my first word at the age of one, little did I know this word would open a gateway in my mind to assemble a forever-growing list of words. These words started off simple (e. g. Mum, Dad, egg, teddy, swing) and have grown increasingly complex as I have grown older (e.g. publishing, intoxicated, technological, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious). Alongside this ever-growing mental tree of words, my infinite passion for words was also growing and still is.

My Socially Isolated Love Life
I've been single for eight and a half years. People don't believe me, but I promise you it's true. I've been counting after I realised a year had passed and I haven't stopped. Why have I been single for so long? Don't even ask me, it's something I ask myself and the universe every single day.
