EDITING ALLIE HERE: So, I wrote this a few weeks ago, but I still wanted to post it because I kind of talk about uni stuff, mental health and all that jazz. ALSO, I know Iโve been super inactive on twitter and instagram as well as here - I had a major presentation for my [...]
Well , g'day there friends. I've been tossing up whether or not to write this, only because I feel like I keep on bringing this up and it can get repetitive and annoying. But here we are! A few weeks ago I took a mini-hiatus from twitter and from my blog (the only posts that [...]
I tweeted a few months ago about the challenges that come with doing what I'm doing right now: blogging. Although I love writing and reading with my entire soul, I have found that it can be extremely easy for us book bloggers (and other bloggers) to fall into fatigue or exhaustion concerning what we do.

"who actually reads books anymore?"*rolls eyes aggressively* I legitimately hate comments like that written above. You would be surprised at how many times I have heard this.

she comes in waves. there's never a warning, it's always a surprise. unable to breathe left wanting, in need of air - gasping. tired eyes clenched tight - it'll pass soon. in the meantime, i'm left drowning, waiting. like someone sitting on my chest a heaviness i can't catch my breath. it's a dizziness, a [...]
they live in fear of her. she brings death, they claim. she loves misery, they say. she's withย him, they chant. she's lonely, she whispers to herself. she doesn't work for the devil but they fear that which they don't know, theyย fear herย because she isย magic. a queen, a sorceress of unimaginable [...]
i don't really understand what this is about. and by this i mean life and by life i guess i mean this right now. how odd how hard we work for what? wealth? legacy? death? but we all end up in the same place - in the ground or scattered around. we [...]
i have to stop myself sometimes, when the numbness is so great, when it becomes an overwhelming force growing from the seed of nothingness. (a tidal wave of an anger so powerful i scare myself). those moments i forget - i just burn burn Burn. an undeniable need to unleash the monster within. [...]
