Wanderlust

Posted 5 months ago

I’ve got wanderlust etched into my bones these days. I took a trip to Greece and Italy and fell in love with the world. There are so many different types of people in this world, each different, some are like bright jewels glowing in the dark.

I began my metamorphose in Athens, a city right out of my imagination and planted against generations of struggles, lovers, hopes, dreams and musing.…

Coven Catering

Posted about 1 year ago

My English teacher is loud. A self admitted assertive person. And convinced I am passive.
She has been talking a lot lately about how where we come from shapes us as people.

It is true, at times I can appear to be quite a passive person, but I’ve always liked to think I just choose my battles carefully.
I’ve never been one to assert myself where the situation does not call for it.
That…

The daunting task of strutting in big girl shoes.

Posted about 1 year ago

Last night I put on my big girl shoes.
There’s still far too much room around my toes and I stumble every now and then but I’m slowly learning to strut when people are watching me.

It began with drinking red wine. As a general rule, I’ve always preferred red wine or champaign to nearly everything else. I learnt this mundane fact about myself during family gatherings since the ag…

The first of things without revelation

Posted over 1 year ago

As a rule, I only post Journals when I’ve had some life changing revelation.
It’s a good thing rules are meant to be broken sometimes.

I haven’t had a life changing revelation. I don’t feel to be any wiser than I was yesterday or the day before. I’ve been making mistakes in my life. Messing things up. Falling over my feet and finding myself in wonderland.

Today, for …

Strawberry Oranges with a sprinkling of Venice

Posted almost 2 years ago

I’ve been craving strawberries and oranges for the past week.
Oddly enough, that’s also how long I’ve been sick. One thing I really hate about being sick is the memories it brings back.
Sabrina, the family dog, also lovingly called puppy, is sleeping on the floor next to me. She doesn’t seem to share my feelings about oranges and strawberries but we both agreed that today wa…

Rainbow water and Long overdue apologies

Posted almost 2 years ago

You know it’s going to be a good day when you begin by listening to Paul Kelly in class, to further your learning (who knew so much water, so close to home was bast on a short story in the VCE curriculum?) Then move on to sitting through a class where you flick through page after page of amazing redbubble works under the tag Rainbow without a teacher there because, lets be honest, art teach…

The Trinity of Easter

Posted about 2 years ago

Over these last three years, Eater for me has been a brutal, painful, distressing event.
Two years ago I was so sick that walking around was like running a marathon and I got giving candles and such instead of chocolate.
Last year, Easter started off better, but ended up much worse. I wont say how, or what happened, only that I lost a lot of my trusting nature that day and grew a little up a littl…

French men, and the way's of the divine

Posted over 2 years ago

I think, I am more than probably just a little too opinionated, and judge just that little too soon. I enjoy crappy 80’s music, popular before I was even born, much better than the stuff on the radio now. And, I desperately want to travel.

When I say travel, I don’t mean, get on a plane. Stay somewhere for a few weeks. Come back home. I mean, get on a plane. Find a place to stay, get a job. And l…

massive tides and shoulders to cry on

Posted over 2 years ago

I think it’s funny how the cycle of the moon can affect us.
When I was down the beach a few weeks ago, the tides we’re massive, much bigger than they should have been for this time of year. Funny thing was, the high tides were normal; it was the low tides that were extreme. It was almost like the sea was trying to wash back something, deep into its inky waters.
I don’t think I have ever seen …

The mind of a 16 year old female.

Posted over 2 years ago

I am not sure about a lot of things. I am not sure if this has to do with who I am as a person, or because my brain has yet to develop the capabilities of understanding things to a point where I can be certain.
I wouldn’t have a clue about the meaning of life.
What happens after we die.
When I will die.
What will happen if I don’t die.
What I will do with my life.
Where I’m going in my life.
Who I…
