We have this obsession with needing to know what we want at all stages of our lives. And it doesn’t fade with age. In fact, sometimes it gets louder. There’s a subtle expectation that by now, by this stage of life, we should feel certain. Settled. Complete. As though we’ve arrived at a final version of ourselves…

I’ve always thought of myself as quite independent. If I wanted to do something, I usually just did it. Growing up in a household where I wasn’t really allowed out unless my mum lied for me, I became quite a rebellious teenager. I moved out at 16…

I’m currently in India and have been here for three weeks. It feels like a long time, yet in the grand scheme of things, three weeks is nothing. I arrived in the laid-back state of Kerala in the south-west of India. I remember sitting in my Uber from the airport, trying to pry my eyes open so I could take in everything I was seeing…

Marry, kiss, or push off a cliff – maybe someone springs to mind for the latter. However, for the purpose of this blog, we’re not talking about the classic game we used to play in school. Instead, this is the game of life. Sometimes, too many things make it into our lives…

A lot has changed for me since a few years ago. When I look back at how I was feeling then compared to now, the shift has been incredible. My career, my outlook, my direction, my happiness, and my sense of fulfilment all took a turn for the better. I suppose you could…
