Pilates made me do it!
There is something deeply predictable about me whenever I decide to try something new.I donāt start with motivation or discipline or a realistic plan. I start with clothes.A new sport, in my mind, clearly requires a new outfit. Preferably several.It doesnāt matter what the activity is. Running. Yoga. Pilates. Standing still but intentionally.If itās new, it deserves fresh fabric. I have grown,ā¦
When Everyone Talks and Nobody Hears.
There is something exhausting about talking to someone who is already waiting for their turn.You say something, they nod.And you can almost see it happening behind their eyes; their own story loading.We all do it sometimes. Of course we do.Our brains love patterns.āOh, Iāve been there.āāOh, that reminds me ofā¦āThatās how empathy often begins. But thereās a difference between recognising yourselfā¦
The Week Winter Tried to Fire Me
The first week back at work began, as all great stories do, with snow.Of course it did.Never during my holiday.Never when I was still allowed to lie in bed and pretend the world didnāt exist.No, the snow waited patiently for the exact moment my alarm went off on Monday morning.Even my cats looked offended.They stared at me from the bed like, Where exactly do you think youāre going? Itās whiteā¦
The Night Before Everything Starts Again
Working in education means working hard and being lucky enough to have generous holidays.And honestly, they really are wonderful. Iāve been out of my routine for two and a half weeks now. Long dinners. Catching up with friends I hadnāt seen in a while. One meal flowing effortlessly into the next.Time spent well. Time spent slowly. Was I completely relaxed?Iām not sure. I think my body was onā¦
A Year Without a Grand Plan
When I started writing, or rather, when I started sharing my writing, it felt both terrifying and oddly liberating.Putting words into the world does that. Suddenly, people might have opinions. Thoughts. Possibly evenā¦ feedback.The funny thing is, Iām not someone who worries easily about what people think.In my work, for example: you do your best, you show up, you try to be there for people and atā¦
The People I Notice Without Knowing Why
Sometimes I notice someone before I realise Iām doing it.A room full of people, voices overlapping, movement everywhereĀ and somehow my attention settles on just one person.I donāt know anything about them.And somehow, thatās exactly the point. They might be sitting alone in a cafĆ©, staring out the window while their coffee slowly cools. Or standing on a platform, holding their phone withoutā¦
The Holidays I Both Love and Avoid
Iāve always had a complicated relationship with celebrations.Holidays. Birthdays. Anything involving candles, expectations, and the unspoken question of soā¦ how are we doing this year?Growing up, our house wasnāt constantly full, but it felt full.People dropped by. Conversations lingered. There was movement, noise, and the kind of warmth that didnāt need planning. It just existed.After my fatherā¦
The Art of Pretending Iām Fine
We are all phenomenal actors.And the best part? Nobody had to audition.Most days, when someone asks āHow are you?ā, the script kicks in automatically:āIām fine!āA cheerful lie tossed into the world like confetti, even when something inside is quietly on fire. At the supermarket: Iām fine (while choosing ice cream with the energy of someone making a life decision).At work: Iām fine (while runningā¦
