I walked outside this morning and the air was practically vibrating. Spring is officially here and boy have the dragonflies taken over the sky. It feels like a miniature neon circus out there, with...
The true anchor of this whole operation

Losing on penalties
Losing on penalties in front of two thousand people on a balmy Wednesday night just hits different. The ball hits the post, the keeper guesses right and just like that, months of invisible work, ta...

I won the lottery this morning

This dry winter
This dry winter is absolutely wrecking my skin, and no amount of moisturiser can save me from this crisp, dehydrating air. Every single morning feels like a battle against the elements as the bitin...
The most brutal realisation
The most brutal realisation was realising that the exact thing that used to wake me up at 4 AM with pure excitement now just feels like a chore that drains my soul. I didn't just wake up one day an...
The smell of rain
The petrichor doesn't just hit my nose, rather it rewires my entire nervous system. A sudden, cinematic burst of ozone and wet earth that feels less like a scent and more like a core memory being a...
