Hello! So here we go: week 3 of lockdown.

Hello! I've decided that I'm going to make Monday a "me" post day. By that I don't mean I'm going to be posting all about me... but it's not necessarily going to be a bookish day: it might be about school, about my life, about my MH: it'll be something personal, not necessarily bookish.

Hello there friends. How are we all today? I mean, really, how are you today? I'll be honest... I'm OK, but there's a little bit of struggle about me at the minute. Nothing too bad, just a niggle here and there. Just a worry that won't go away. A thought that sometimes spirals and then … Continue reading It’s OK not to be OK
