Refresh & Restart this September

Now August has ended, I'm excited for September. After being in the traditional school system and working for a company that follows that system, September signifies the new start of a year for me. It's always the time of year where I start to refresh my professional and personal life - which is why I thought I'd share my three favourite ways to do that.

Hey, it's ok

It's only been in the last month or so that I've focused on Serendipity again. Did I miss it? Honestly, no. I haven't even felt guilty about it.

It's not that I don't want to write, it's just that I don't know what to write. My mind goes blank and I feel empty. I'm learning so much about myself, and I'm even figuring out how to build furniture and drive a car. To some that may be nothing. But to me, that's an achievement. I'm not going to sit here and say things are great, but I'm also not going to sit here and say things have been awful. They've been average.

A Day Out: London

Just over a month ago I spent a weekend in London for my birthday with my boyfriend.

One of my favourite parts was getting a chance to visit the Star Wars Identities exhibition at the O2 Academy. With over 200 props, costumers, and models from the Lucasfilm Archives it’s a great experience to find out more about what makes and shaped the saga.

10 Little Ways

Over the years, I have compiled a list of simple things to do which have a big impact on my mental health. Sometimes, it is not the grand gestures which work. You do not need to quit your job, go on a silent meditation retreat or move countries to feel better (although those are all cool things to do.) Making the effort to look after yourself in subtle ways is so important.

Love, Season 2: A Review

Around this time last year I wrote a post on season one of Netflix's Love; I still love Love but sometimes I'm not sure why I do.

My feelings seems appropriate since Love's two protagonists, Mickey (Gillian Jacobs) and Gus (Paul Rust), have a strong connection without entirely understanding why. After the first season, the second and their relationship, picks up right where the first left off despite the fact that Mickey has told Gus she's dealing with a variety of addictions; alcohol, drugs, and sex/love.
