Bright Life! Bright Life!
Hello my little lightbulbs! A year has passed and so, like Michael Bublé at Christmas, I have risen to grace you all with my presence. My goal was to write to you all sooner than fourteen months… thirteen is still a win, right? Istanbul, April 2025 I hope that you’ve been keeping well! How have [...]
Hello my little lightbulbs! How are you? I have been digitally absent from you for over a year now! Like a whimsical free spirit in a D&D campaign I floated away to complete some independent quests and I have returned to the tavern of our friendship to swap stories! How's this year treated you? What [...]
Bright Hike, Bright Hike - Hello my little lightbulbs! How are you doing? I hope that you're savouring the end of summer and have plenty of warm and happy memories to reflect on. Were you able to soak up some extra Vitamin D and enjoy the flavours that marry well with this season? My summer [...]
Hello my little lightbulbs! How are we? I’m back again after voyaging overwork, unsteady self-esteem, growing digital fatigue, and paralysing perfectionism. You can imagine me standing arms outstretched with a quivering giant toothy grin as you read that. I hope that your transition from spring to summer was a gradual one and that you’re enjoying [...]
Hello, my little lightbulbs! A very belated happy new year! I hope that the dawning of this new year is treating you well and if it hasn't, at least you're getting the bad bits out of the way early. I started this new year quite differently than others. I welcomed it in with loved ones, [...]
Hello, my little lightbulbs! How are you? ‘Tis the season to be jolly, so why the f*ck is Jess writing about grief? As well as being a sneaky little goth - I think it’s a very important time to talk about the seemingly not-so-Christmassy experiences of grief, loss, sadness, isolation, and depression. Now, more than [...]
Hello, my little lightbulbs! How are you? How is autumn treating you? Are you enjoying the warm, cosy evenings or dreading the icy, rainy weather? I myself am enjoying it so far. I have a lot of love for autumn. It’s a very mild season in the UK, mild here meaning a lack of extremity. [...]
Hello, my little lightbulb! I’m here to accept my award as the most sporadic blogger of 2022 - *begins emphatic bowing and collects roses from stage floor*. My acceptance speech will begin: Blogging has taken a back seat for me over the last few weeks, through no fault of its own really. I promised myself [...]
On Monday 20th June, I started out on a 21-day cleanse led by Michelle Burrows, my kickboxing coach. Michelle had previously chatted about how much she has benefitted from doing the cleanse herself over the years and how she was considering running it as a programme. After some excitement from our group, she sent out [...]
Dear Dad, Happy birthday! It’s been three years since you celebrated one- how crazy is that? I wanted to write this because this year feels different than the others. It’s been a bit of a brain dump so probably not the most cohesive thing I’ve written, but I suppose that’s fine all things considered. I also [...]
