As a child, I was always one to feel guilt quickly and regret often. My mother uttered; 'Just let it go, Jen' more times than I can remember. Now, with a somewhat genetic complex for guilt and anxiety, I have noticed the toll that 'cancel culture' and social media is having on my own mind.

When people are out, they are loud balls of quivering energy that jump and bounce from one body… Continue reading What We Were Born To Remember

Whilst the time will come for all of us to die, we can't pinpoint the exact day and… Continue reading Dreams, Ambitions and Shamelessly Hustling for Them
Hello everyone, Jen here. Once again, this week, I found myself where I didn't want to be. I was in bed with my childhood teddy bear and the weight of the chronic pain on top of me was making my very nerves shake.

Hello everyone, Jen here after a small hiatus. Let's get right into it, as I've no idea of a smooth transition into this topic.
