Lately, I've found myself asking a question I never thought I'd need to ask, what happened to the version of me who used to feel excited about things? Life isn't bad. In fact, in many ways, I know I'm blessed. I have people I care about, a job, a home, holidays to look forward to. Yet despite all of that, I've found myself feeling bored, fed up, and stuck in a cycle that seems to repeat itself day after day. Most mornings feel the same. Wake up. Go to work. Think about money.

I wanted to talk today about something a lot of people go through but don’t always say out loud, what it feels like when life, relationships, and emotional pressure all build up at the same time. When someone is dealing with anxiety, financial stress, family responsibilities, and emotional loneliness all at once, it can start to feel like everything is happening at full intensity with no real pause. For example, when there are money pressures, bills, rising costs, and just tr

In less than two weeks from now, I’ll be standing at the start line of the Brighton Marathon. It’s strange to say that out loud, because for so long it didn’t feel real.

There was nothing obviously wrong with my life. I had responsibilities, a routine, people who depended on me. From the outside, everything looked stable, even successful.

Dreams I once had slowly faded into background noise. I wasn’t unhappy, but I wasn’t fulfilled either and some

There’s something different about this year for me. It’s not louder, flashier, or more dramatic. I see it being calmer, more grounded, more intentional. 2026 feels like it will be a year of movement, without the need for announcements, explanations, or constant updates.(Except to my close friends of course) For a long time, I believed that sharing plans made them real. That saying things out loud held me accountable. But life has taught me something gentler and truer: someti

The word love is one of the most overused and misunderstood words we have. We say we love food, music, places, people, and yet when it comes to being in love , the definition suddenly feels difficult to explain. Can you fall in love quickly? Is love different from lust? Do soulmates truly exist, or are they just a romantic idea we cling to? These questions often arise during deep conversations with my friends, especially as we grow older, wiser, and more self-aware. And the
