Wind whistling through the sparse gorse, we walked along the rough uneven track that wound its way along the base of the rolling cliff above us. To our left we looked out across the swelling Irish sea, watching the sky turn from blue to pink as the late autumn sun sank towards the horizon, turning small white waves into candy floss collecting in the distance around the dark hazy shape that is ...

I know what you are thinking. But women can vote. They have rights and a voice. They have the ability to get an education. They have it better than they did before. But the question is, do they really? The UK and USA are seen as a few of the most developed countries in terms of their economies, technology and more. But the ugly truth is, that if you were to look deeper, at the rate at which the...

My dream would be to work in a Museum/gallery or for a Journal and sell my drawings.

Youth is at war with everything, including itself. When we young, we are desperate to be experts in people, and how their actions impose or reward us, and the extent to which we’re curtailed by sadness, locked down, tired of fitting in. There are two halves to self-definition – being yourself free of influence, or taking other personalities for people who ask you to do so. Billie Eilish is cau...

You log on as normal into your Instagram account to check who viewed your new story and BAM: “log in error”, “account deactivated”, “and violation of our policies” scream in your face.

I don't hate you.No, hate is too strong a word.I loathe you,A secret burning anger,That can singe you, Leave you burned.But it is not hate.I detest you,A flagrant declarationFilled with disdain and backward glares.Peppered with biting comments and snide remarks. But it is not hate.Because hate is a war that never ends.It is the sounds of a battlefield.It is the two sides, Cleaving deep canyons ...

A word after a word after a word is power.’- Margaret Atwood. For many readers, The Handmaid’s Tale (2010) and Margaret Atwood’s creation of Gilead remains a dystopian society they still think about. It terrifies, when one thinks about the world globally, how close we are to having such a society on a smaller scale.I would say one of the only things preventing its birth is our awareness of ou...

Overthinking is one of the reasons of procrastination. The ability not to act is usually caused by pondering way more over things than is needed. Besides being a mental health problem overthinking stops to take a proper course of doing something, thus ending up hastily, putting things up together to meet a dead line with a messy feeling.
