    Good year, bad year

    December 31, 2018

    Well, here it is. The obligatory wrap-up-of-the-year post. It’s the time of year when many of us reflect on the previous 12-month period and slap it with a sticker of “good year” or “bad year”. Many of us humans (including…

    I survived my first week back at work after travelling through Vietnam and Cambodia for almost a month. This is how my first week went: Monday: anxiety is neck-level, but I’ve got my holiday glow on and it’s not so…

    Déjà vu all over again

    Ah, here I am again. Anxious as all hell about returning to work and training, approximately six kilos heavier (legit), and with a weird rash under my left arm that mysteriously appeared whilst in Vietnam. I’m contemplating the theory that…

My partner reminded me last night that it’d been My partner reminded me last night that it’d been a year since Hazy Love was released. 

A whole year.

Reminiscing brought on a lot of feelings that I’m still processing, hence the late post. I’m proud of what I’ve achieved, but disappointed that my second book is still not out. Being a slow writer leads to a constant battle of emotions and I’m still figuring out how to not beat myself up.
