If you missed my previous post where I spoke about domestic violence then firstly, where have you been? Secondly, you can click here to read my very subtle entrance into the topic. A post which I’ve been attempting to write from the perspective of domestic violence is related to the importance of language. Over the […]

Weegie in Palestine
This is a slightly older post from 2016: I was off to Palestine. For as long as I can remember it’s been somewhere I wanted to go. Fed up of waiting for people to come with me, I made my decision, it would be a solo trip. I didn’t want to go as a standard […]
“The Walk of Shame”
I remember vividly the day that I took the decision to sell my home, a year post divorce. It wasn’t particularly difficult to know that it was the right thing to do. The house we lived in had been a begrudging compromise so, for me, there wasn’t much sentiment attached. But more than that, I […]
THAT Pride Post
I’ve a little time to spare and dabble in some writing so I’m going to do it. I’ll talk about that pride post. For the past week or so, I have been reflecting on a pretty bizarre and what has been, a somewhat horrid, turn of events. I am ofcourse speaking about the reaction to […]
Clingfilm; An App Disaster
One of my favourite online stories which I love to tell friends is the one about Clingfilm aka Sex Pest (S.P). I’ll admit I love watching their face change as this story unfolds but in part, I also want to know if they hold anything better in their arsenal of online wonderments. Turns out they […]
Fishing Online
I’m not one for online dating. I would much rather be my wonderful self at a party, have a lovely man saunter upto me, be struck by my amazing personality and live a happily every after. The modern world seems to have cut all that from nearly all cultures. Speaking to single friends of all […]
Forgive and Forget
This post was written in 2015, as I approached the one year mark of my official divorce. The problem is that once you deal with one issue concerning your breakup, it feel like another issue pops up. For me, this post related to the hurt I felt at those around me. Perhaps now I’m able […]
I Haven’t Changed
Post written in January 2015, around eight months after my legal divorce had become finalised. I haven’t changed. That’s a lie. Whenever people come out of some major life changing event and claim to be the same person. It’s quite simply a lie. It’s not possible to remain the same. Is it so shameful […]
Ramadan-ing it
In the lead up to Ramadan, my twitter was clogged up by excited tweets counting down the days to Ramadan and proclaiming how blessed we all are to see another one. Ramadan salutations start with a week to go and everybody seemed oddly giddy, waiting for the go ahead that the month of fasting had […]
A Man’s World
My attempts to put these posts in chronological order has failed a little as I forgot to include this one, written in October 2013. To an extent I still maintain this to be true – you only have to look at recent controversies that have taken place….can you name some? This journey which has unfolded […]
