I really like talking but since that can annoy people, I’ve turned to blogging! Aside from talking (a lot) I’m a bit geeky. I love word games and anagrams! Additionally, I love tennis, football/soccer and I throw hoops from time to time. I’m a millennial so I’m sure that’s going to put some people off giving my blog a chance but I’m a millennial who’s been taught to be kind, respectful and understanding so I hope you can give this little millennial a chance. I also think I’m funny and do laugh at my own jokes! To be fair sometimes I have to ‘cos no one else does 🙄 As we live in the life of throwing emojis out there my most used emojis are 🙄🙃👍 so read into that whatever you wish lol And yes I say lol. Every writer and their work has meaning but I really would have a good talking to with myself if I ever posted something that I genuinely didn’t feel had something to positively give to the reader. Sometimes I try to make people laugh, sometimes to explain/motivate or even to provoke a thought on a subject. I feel utter embarrassment if I post something that I feel is below par and therefore I don’t allow myself to post just for the sake of posting. I guess in saying all of the above you might conclude that I overthink and maybe care about opinions? You’d be right! I would like to think I contribute to society with more than just taxes but only time will tell haha! It’s an interesting life so I take interest in it. I just can’t help myself. I love talking (as you can see) but in the same light, I absolutely thrive on the energy of learning whether it be about people, things or situations. My blog allows me to talk about things in my life and the lessons that I learn. It’s of course ultimately with a view to maybe giving someone else a nugget of wisdom or a laugh that can improve their day. The fact is even if you only give someone something positive that lasts for ONE second, you will still have impacted a part of their life positively in a way that they may not otherwise have had. That makes it worthwhile for me. That’s me. I guess?!

Some facts are hard to handle…

March 19, 2020March 19, 2020 Stars On FlamesLeave a comment

Some things are hard to accept. Hard to think about. Hard to talk about. Very sensitive topics to be hanging around! I’ve got a bunch of things that make me uneasy and I never talk about them. Mostly because I’ve been really busy pretending to be some sort of happy when I’m really not and…… Continue reading Some facts are hard to handle…

Doubters doubting you

January 17, 2019March 17, 2020 Stars On Flames1 Comment

Q: Doubters? A: In the name. A postman will deliver your post. A handyperson will put up a shelf, put together some (unnecessarily confusing) flat pack or carry out some other handyperson duty with those handy hands of theirs. A chef will cook like a chef cooks. An alcoholic will drink, you guessed it… like…… Continue reading Doubters doubting you

New Year’s Eve, day and the day after

January 2, 2019January 2, 2019 Stars On FlamesLeave a comment

I’m not one for celebrating New Years. Not eve, the day or the prolonged week as some do. Never have been one to celebrate much of anything but I wouldn’t dampen anyone else’s partying. Personally, I see it as just another day except I have to note that people are all reminiscent of the previous…… Continue reading New Year’s Eve, day and the day after

Believing in yourself

November 9, 2018November 18, 2018 Stars On FlamesLeave a comment

I always think that believing in yourself is like the good old British weather. Some days you’re taking the rain and the hails with aplomb and on other occasions you’re left a little sorry faced and sunburnt, but, you can still acknowledge that you had a ruddy good time. So for me, I always believe…… Continue reading Believing in yourself

Lacking Inspiration. Getting it back.

November 6, 2018November 8, 2018 Stars On Flames1 Comment

Getting excited again about writing (in any form not just in a blog) has honestly taken a while. I don’t think that I ever did genuinely lose interest or that raw motivation in the deepest breadth of my oceanic heart, but, I lost something. My identity? My passion? My relentless ranting ability? I don’t know…… Continue reading Lacking Inspiration. Getting it back.

Am I insecure?

October 31, 2018November 6, 2018 Stars On FlamesLeave a comment

To answer the question in the title field, yes. To consider myself more insecure than confident? No. My insecurities do not define me. In fact here is a list of a bunch of things (listed in no particular order) that do not define me: My aesthetic appearance My family, economic and ethnic background My employment…… Continue reading Am I insecure?

Friday feelings….

October 26, 2018October 28, 2018 Stars On FlamesLeave a comment

I’m not interested in upsetting people. I don’t go out of my way to find ways to upset people. In fact I go out my way in order not to upset people and all I realise is that people will still get upset. Sometimes you have to be selfish for the bigger picture and people…… Continue reading Friday feelings….

The way I am and how it confuses people

October 23, 2018 Stars On FlamesLeave a comment

You either understand that I don’t think within the ‘normal distribution’ or you can’t be bothered to. I like to think about things a certain way and approach undertaking tasks in a way that can sometimes bamboozle others. I’ll reach the end goal just as quickly (or perhaps even faster), and people just choose to…… Continue reading The way I am and how it confuses people

I can’t convince you

October 23, 2018October 23, 2018 Stars On FlamesLeave a comment

There are a whole bunch of things I would like other people agree with me on. I’m talking about my dreams, my passions and my opinions, and so on. The issue is the society we live in is selfish. I am selfish. People are selfish. I can admit that though. I am a flawed human…… Continue reading I can’t convince you

The way I write amuses me but does it amuse you?

September 19, 2018September 19, 2018 Stars On FlamesLeave a comment

Let’s be honest here because when I’m in the flow, say, like a burst water pipe, the wit and humour you will get from me is like the pus from a pimple. It just oozes out and you’re never quite sure when it’s about to stop. If you know me then you know that THAT…… Continue reading The way I write amuses me but does it amuse you?
