Hanging over the Edge
My toes hang over the edge. Gripping. I’m not ready to fall, though I can feel it’s happening. Unsteady, wobbling, leaning forwards into the depths. xxx I know you are ready to catch me. But I don’t know if you can handle the weight of my fall. The heaviness of the burden as I land.…

Unapologetically Me
From now on, I will be unapologetically me. xxx I will not apologise for loving too hard. For caring. For falling hard. xxx For giving my all. xxx I will not apologise for being there when needed. xxx For being ‘too nice’. For never giving up. xxx For fighting for my beliefs. xxx But, If…

Start Small
Start small they say. Take baby steps; each day as it comes… xxx But what does that even mean? When something is so, so big? How do you start small? How do you even begin to pull that to pieces? Tiny fragments of something so huge? Breaking it down into bite size chunks. The problem…
