I’ve become a little obsessed with the concept of balance; of uncovering the middle ground within the tug of war of our energies. Trying to find my place in the middle of push and pull; in the middle of directive and lost; in the middle of being and doing; in the middle of hard and soft; […]
How quick are we to dismiss that which we don’t do well at or have even, God forbid, ‘failed at’? Imagine this scenario – you bump into an old friend whom you haven’t seen you in ages and they ask you how ‘x’ is going. ‘X’ could be a relationship, a business venture, job opportunity, […]
People find joy in all sorts of things. Some are in concrete things like cars, sports, art, fashion, exploration. Some in more destructive paths of drinking, drug use and so on. Some find their joy lies in individual people, and they soak up a major case of the happies from that one special person. Some people […]
You know those toys that have the pulley string at the back and have a handful of words//phrases that play, on repeat, from their automated little voice chips? Think Woody, circa 1995, ‘there’s a snake in my boots!’. If I miraculously transformed into a Mattel endorsed talky toy – I can guarantee what my words would […]
As I sipped on my once weekly treat of a delicious nespresso coffee – I sighed, thinking of the waste and unusable byproduct that the pods leave in their wake. But the coffee grounds that reside have simple been pressed and had water run through them – by no means does that render them useless! […]

I sit, cosied up in my bed, whilst heavy rain splatters on outside and I’m comforted by the familiar feeling of this potent, high vibe, evening energy. I swear these nights hit me when I least expect them. I diligently make my way to bed early, after a pre 7pm dinner like the good little […]
I write this post, curled up in foetal position in my beanie and cons with a scarf wrapped around my legs for warmth, on a bus en route to Perth. I’ve done this journey a fair few times over my four year period of living ‘Douth’ and have always weirdly enjoyed what other people tend […]
Just a heads up, you’ve been (lovingly) warned that this is a word-vomit kind of post. I’m having all of the thoughts. And all of the words are bubbling and brewing and they’re demanding to get out. So, brace yourselves, Emily is getting’ a little heavy today. Success. It’s such a fickle thing yet it […]
For those of you who perhaps might become uncomfortable with the more sensitive nature of today’s topic or it’s not really your bag (*cough* family *cough*) perhaps lovingly close this tab and head to one of the other, less kinky posts, of BTM. So today is more of a brave, bold, badass move on my […]
