A Second Year at University Round-Up!

[sparklingwithwonder]

For some people, life doesn’t truly begin until they’re 26-30. The way we romanticize and obsess over youth is super harmful. Your life is not over at 21, I promise you. It’s just beginning

How I've Grown in the Last 5 Years

How I’ve Grown in the Last 5 Years

I think a lot can be said for how us as humans change and grow. It is not a linear process. It is not one we are consciously aware of and it is absolutely not something we can control. It just, happens. Recently I’ve been thinking a lot how much I’ve changed – and how quickly. Over the last 5 years I’ve had some, absolutely wild, moments and quite a lot is not what it was. That isn’t to be…

A letter to future me:

A letter to future me:

Dear future me, How are you feeling? What’s the weather like? Are you happy? There are so many questions to ask. I’ve thought about what I would say to you for a long time. Writing and then re-writing the question, pondering over the right wording and staring at sentences that have no conclusion. It is impossible to know where you shall be reading this, what state the world will be in and if you…
