Sorry!

What is a word you feel that too many people use? What word do I feel too many people use? I don’t know about everyone else but I feel like I personally say sorry too much. It was even pointed out to me once and guess what my reply was…. Sorry. It’s just something that is basically installed into me to say, when all words fail me; I say sorry. Someone bumps into me in the street……

Daily prompt Day 1

Describe your life in an alternate universe. “Describe your life in a alternate universe” Hmmmm… pause. This is a simply question but one that makes you think. If there is a alternate universe out there, with a different version of reality how would I like that version of Hayley to be. I would like to still have a Beanie and Blake in her life for starters. I would like that universe to be…

The Dark

The Dark Throw her into the black water,  Engulfed into the deep,  Lost to nature; eaten by the sea.  Bait up for grabs  Served up and then discarded.   What will be, will be   Problem solved,  By the current that paces rhythmically.

28 Years Later

28 Years Later (contains spoilers)  Before reviewing 28 years later, I should say this film shouldn’t and isn’t one that you can compare to the previous 2 films. They are both in themselves great films. But very different to the new Boyle and Garland film.   This film has been given very mixed reviews but here’s my opinion.   28 years later Cinematically beautiful. Danny Boyle and Alex…

Calm

The vast unknown,  Echoing in my mind,  Calming my fear,   Settling my soul.  Unpredictable but constant.   Unexplored, dangerous and mystical,  The beauty of the wonder,   The what if…..   12/06/25

What advice would you give to your teenage self? Wow so much advice, you are loved. People don’t always understand you but they do love you. The once that matter will be there when you need them. You’re a good person. Love yourself. Because you are your worst enemy and your biggest critic. You’re not stupid. You are worthy of happiness and you will have it. You just need to believe. I know…

What are your favorite sports to watch and play? Tbh sports aren’t my cup of tea, I guess when I was younger it would have been tennis. I did enjoy watching but I’m not sure if it was just Tim Henman that I enjoyed watching and at the time willing him to win. Sadly he never did always a sucker for an underdog. Now I would say my favourite sport to watch would be old clips of wrestling. Reliving…

Counter productive thoughts, Cloud my mind. Like the over-cast view that dulls the sky. I’m not going to say it can’t get worse because I know it can. I’m not going to make stupid resolutions, Life is unpredictable and I don’t need the residual fail, I know I’d be better off with a plan. Something achievable, set targets and aim for them. But most important try to bring back my glow. I…

I can’t sleep

Today has been such a strange, sad and long day and my mind cannot switch off. I found myself writing, just words. Usually that helps it calms my mind, settles my thoughts and helps me process but tonight that’s not the case. Today someone I know left this world, she had been ill for a long time. She was so brave about it, documenting her journey and hoping to help others in doing so. She was…

Blogmas

I remember being told when I was pregnant that having a child brings back the joy of Christmas. Well if i had that conversation today, I would tell the person “you lie”. It just causes more stress, when you don’t have a child, people just leave you alone. Once you have had a child it’s all about others seeing them and then you feel stressed trying to keep everyone happy. My perfect Xmas would…

Better late than never Blogmas

Years back I took part in doing blogmas, which I enjoyed, anyway I was toying in doing so this year. I know I’m somewhat late but what the heck here goes… Don’t expect these to be done daily, I don’t always have the time. Today is my first and its about (drum roll)….. My Christmas tree. I have various decorations from various countries including hand painted stars from Nepal. The theme is,…

Simply nature

When I saw the colours of these leaves I made a detour, to take a photo. Sadly I don’t feel the photo does it justice. But I’m going to share it anyway because it’s nature in all its spender and I like it.

Static

In a room full of noise I hear static Why did I come? I feel like a spare. A spare in their moment, simply invited to entertain? Laughing at my sarcastic temperament. But I feeling silently judged, Is this just my self loathing, As they snap their photos, laughing in their moment, Why am I here? Hayley Chaplin 02/12/2023

Waves crash and collide with themselves, Somewhat like my mind, Engulfed by trauma and torment, Wrestling with new ideas and replaying past, As the waves settle, a calm atmosphere is formed. But it never seems lasting, Not long enough to be seen, As soon as you feel comfortable that wave can sweep you up and set you back. Breathe, just breathe. The storm will pass, The wave will subside…

Struggling to write

Everything I write, seems to be a messed up mumble, Incoherent of what I want to say, Mind boggling to myself so goodness knows what others would see, So I’ll note and move on, Nonsensical notes that one day I will look back at, Some I’ll dismiss and others I’ll keep, On a whim that I might review it, Revisited and reclaimed, But right now I’m simply struggling to formulate any kind of…
