Sudden disability needs

              It’s crazy how one life event can change you completely. Without going into too much detail, two years ago I was diagnosed with an illness that would leave me with many physical impairments. I’ve always been a very physically active person. I used to play tennis, go for …

Home Builder Revolutionary

“If we are going to bring down the elites,” said the luxury home builder, “we need to think big and act bigger. Tell me, Mavis, did you ever watch those sci-fi movies with the swords made of light, back on the surface?” Mavis scoffed. “They were clearly fantasy in space, but yes.” Gideon waved a …

Wandering The Store

My brother has sent me on a wild goose chase to find building materials for him. He’s currently stuck in his house which is definitely unfortunate, but surely he can go seven days without having to build anything.

The ink community

Sitting on Heater

My favourite thing to do, when I’m not getting silly with my friends on a night out, is sitting on top of the heater and reading a good book. I find it so relaxing and it’s my favourite way to take a break from my often chaotic life. I like turning the heater up so …

As I age

As I age I find life is becoming very different for me. I used to be young. Attractive. Active. Lively. Now, being alive it’s a struggle in itself. I feel tired all the time. My joints are aching. My bones bruise easily. I used to have lovely, thick red hair. Now my hair is thinning …
