1 to Phoenix

How many times can a phoenix "rise" from the ashes again? I have started and stopped entries more than 15 times THIS MONTH. Barely visited my briefly abandoned business social media page, hidden proof of missed deadlines under the seat of my car…. I have done it all!

"Porsche" is pronounced: POOR-SHA "Louis Vuitton" is pronounced: LOO-EE-VWEE-TAHN But you knew that right?

Juggling

When I was in primary school, I always thought I was amazing at juggling. If anybody told me they could not juggle, I would obnoxiously scoff in their face and pick up two objects and juggle them. Then someone, who I shall not name at this moment, said “That is not juggling, you are just… Continue reading Juggling

You WILL

I will never forget when I was typing my degree- dissertation. It was a trying time that tested my faith and the amount of tears I had in my 5’37 body. I was overwhelmed, I was tired, I was scared, but I had a goal; Finishing. Despite almost everything else in my life crashing before… Continue reading You WILL
