Filters (for life)
THE SOCIAL Call it nature, call it nurture, or an interplay of both, but we all behave differently around different people, in different spaces + places. To what extent and how varies between individuals. Why do we do this? Mobility. Now there are many definitions and typologies of mobility, but I'm going to frame it … Continue reading Filters (for life)
Spring Clean, Summer Cleanse
This was written around September 2023, on the cusp of autumn. For some reason, I didn't feel ready to publish. Something was missing with the article, or myself. With minor tweaks it reads well + is a great reminder of my energy coming into this winter. FOLLOW-UP I initially titled this REBOOT! a year on … Continue reading Spring Clean, Summer Cleanse
Check-in: Calais to Eryri
I can't remember the last full weekend I had completely off, to myself, where I was free to do what I liked. I want to reflect, I want to write. So much has happened since I wrote about my stunning stint in CHUB 8 months ago (read more). Despite it being my last entry, I've … Continue reading Check-in: Calais to Eryri
Check-in: Welsh 3000s for Eid
It feels like it's been too long since I wrote. Heck, right now all I want to do is write + recite. Let the words breathe and flow through me. Just express, create, and paint pictures with words. Blow out all the tension, energy, ideas, hunger, and ambition bubbling beneath. What is fresh on my … Continue reading Check-in: Welsh 3000s for Eid
East Scotland, Day 2: lomond hills
WHAT A DAY! WOW! That felt tremendous. I don't think epic quite caps it despite the elements of thrill, but maybe mesmerising, especially when I recall the early morning sunrise + serenity simmering throughout my hike. I have had my eye on these hills for a while and for good reason! Spectacular views sweeping far … Continue reading East Scotland, Day 2: lomond hills
East Scotland, Day 1: scotch corner to perth (via high cup nick)
Scotch Corner Have you ever heard of Scotch Corner before? Off the bat it sounds cool. I had come across this place on road signs previously but never knew its history + significance. In essence it is a junctional nodal point in North Yorkshire, with exits towards the Yorkshire Dales, the Lake District and Western … Continue reading East Scotland, Day 1: scotch corner to perth (via high cup nick)
East Scotland: Day 0
My relationship with Scotland Intense events + experiences can foster connections flowing with many meanings and memories that shape who we are. My history with Scotland is thus worthy of being deemed a relationship as it continues to fill me with immense ambition + drive, instil me with an evolving sense of purpose + belonging, … Continue reading East Scotland: Day 0
REBOOT!
Yes, it's about that time! #go4it #iaintplaying #lookWITHIN #reDISCOVER #beFREE #ownBOSS Haha, all the hashtags! I'm excited! Why? Because I've made huge decisions + moves recently, following my gut that's been blaring at me repeatedly, in different waves, forms, tones, probably for quite a while now! It just took me a while to figure out … Continue reading REBOOT!
Living the Lakes, Day 2: wansfell (via troutbeck tongue)
Ah, so it begins! Have you ever come across the concept of tolerance in the context of recreational drugs? Completely random I know, but it's relevant so keep following me through. When someone reaches tolerance of a drug, it no longer has the desired effect and outcome. I dislike what I'm about to say as … Continue reading Living the Lakes, Day 2: wansfell (via troutbeck tongue)
