Sometimes I feel like I’m living in two worlds. The feeling has become more frequent in recent times, think Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus-esk, without the millions of dollars and Daddy issues. I feel like I’m torn between who I think I should be, and who I want to be. It’s no secret that I’m getting older […]
Read more "Best of Both Worlds"This one goes out to anyone who has ever felt like the world is closing in on them. Because I’ve never really felt that way, until recently. I’ve always felt in control, felt like I knew where I was going even when I was lost, felt like a kick-ass bitch who’s not going to take […]
Read more "Anxiety Strikes"I was listening to a podcast on my flight down to Melbourne where a podiatrist was talking about bunions, but more importantly bunion removal surgery. Tasty, right? The point he was making was the misconception we have on what a bunion is, that it isn’t in fact a calcium formation, it’s actually the 1st metatarsal, […]
Read more "Band-Aid"I’ve noticed recently how fixated people are on the negative things in life. “I wish I had your confidence”, or “I wish I was skinnier”, or “my body is falling a part, it will never get better”. I’ve noticed this more since moving away for some reason (goodbye comfort bubble), I just don’t understand how […]
Read more "Grateless"Remember in kindergarten, when the teacher would ask all the kids to draw a picture of what they want to be when they grow up? The boys maybe wanted to be a firefighter, and the girls maybe wanted to be ballerinas, I’m pretty sure mine was to be a badly drawn picture of a giraffe. […]
Read more "When I grow up…"Failure is something we have all faced at some point or another. Failed maths class, failed driving test, failed relationships. That big, fat fat “F”, circled in red marker that can haunt you across the span of your life. Sound familiar? It can be the difference between feeling all time highs and all time lows. […]
Read more "The F Word (Failure)"My thoughts are pretty confused today, now I’m not sure if it’s because of my emotions, the amount of self reflection I’ve been doing or maybe it’s just the amount of red wine I drank last night (half a bottle is acceptable right?). But, I’ve come to the realisation, I seem to be blinded whenever […]
Read more "Head or heart?"Have you ever felt so frustrated with life you just want to flip your lid, scream into a pillow or maybe cry out loud, “why me!?” I have. Recently actually. I had this beautiful rainbow coloured idea that moving away would open up all these windows of opportunity, that I would walk into a great […]
Read more "Expectation break down"I’ve had plenty of Ashton time lately, the other day I was riding my bike along the Esplanade at Surfers Paradise, watching people as I rode by, wondering where they came from or what they were doing there. Every man and his dog (so many dogs) were out that day, shirtless men doing calisthenic training […]
Read more "Sorry, stereotypo"It’s my first year out in Osteopathic practice, and I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the importance of health. Not just physical, but mental and emotional health too. When people come to see me, it’s usually because they are in pain. Pain is an interesting concept in itself, we perceive pain, and although there […]
