it's 10:02 am on a saturday in august

it's the year 2023

it just rained

the air is cool

i'm sitting on the left side of my bed

my legs are folded beneath me

my partner is lying naked beside me

we're wrapped in soft pink sheets

jazz is playing in my ears

i'm smoking a joint

and drinking lemon tea

and prepping to read, *red, white and royal blue*

i have an exhibition to see in a few hours

it's a good day

a soft day

i love days like this

i will always ❤️‍🔥days like this

ooh how i miss poetry

“To be a serious writer requires discipline that is iron fisted. It’s sitting down and doing it whether you think you have it in you or not. Everyday. Alone. Without interruption. Contrary to what most people think, there is no glamour to writing. In fact, it’s heartbreak most of the time.”

— Harper Lee

I Went To A Women's Only Festival Called Hertitude; The Only Word I Can Think To Describe How I felt Is Free

Now when I say women only, I mean women only; from the hosts to the security, vendors, and even the performers. I didn’t see a man in sight! Not until the event had come to an end. The only word I can think of to describe how I felt… is free. For as long as I can remember, whenever I step out of the comfort of my home, I have been deeply conscious of men. At first, it was because I wanted their…

8 Reasons Why I Still Need Feminism

This is for all the women out there who need work twice as hard as a man to get anything. I see you. I hear you. I am you. And we will be okay :)

It’s been a hotttttttttttttt minute and women are still fighting for equal rights. I call bullshit and I know I’m not alone in how EXHAUSTED I am from having to fight for any and everything. From the moment I took my first breath society had already dictated most of my struggles based on the organ between my legs. It didn’t matter to me though. I didn’t care that everything was stacked up against…

45 Empowering Affirmations To Start Your 2023

January is coming to an end and though it’s been 7 years😪 it is still the beginning of the year. For many reasons people have gone back on the goals they set for the year already. They’re doubting and second-guessing their capabilities. Things are looking impossible. Trust me, I get it. A huge part of me feels all of these things as well. But pause- Take a deep breath- In- Out- It’s okay. You’re…

Things I Won't Be Doing Come 2023

Things I Won’t Be Doing Come 2023

I know the title seems pretty definitive but really what I meant was; what I will try (work hard as hell) to not do anymore. I don’t do new year’s resolutions. I don’t mock or diss them because I know it works for many people but I’m just not one of those people. Maybe I lack the discipline to commit or I just need a different way to focus but I don’t do it. Not anymore. Instead, I make goals…

My Definition Of Self-Care And 21 Days Of It 😉

Every year since about 2018 various people have found a million different ways to define self-care and what it means to them. They’ve expressed thoughts on mental health, called-out red flags that were largely ignored and told people to their faces that they were being shit-heads, if it needed to be said. In many ways it’s beautiful. I would say society has hated on itself long enough. It’s time…

Things I’m Grateful For

Things I’m Grateful For

Towards the end of the year, specifically in November, most people do something they may have forgotten to do throughout most of the year… ‘they give thanks’ Thanksgiving; though different in various parts of the world has one aim. To for once forget the bad and focus on all the good things they’ve lived through. Yes, sometimes the bad can be so much you feel like you’re drowning and life can…

BACK AGAIN

I’ve been thinking about starting this again for a while…more like a year, and then some. Buttt I didn’t realise I had already written two pieces about coming back. One in January and one in march. I tried to choose which to post but hehe, ‘impossible’. I cannot lol. So, I’ve decided to post both. Hopefully, one of them gives someone that little boost they need. :)) MARCH 2022 I took a…
