Bright Life! Bright Life!
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 [...]
You have changed. We’ve all heard this at some point. You may have been told by a bitter soul; an old friend, an ex, or a family member after weeks/ months/ years gone by. They most likely said this with a venomous tongue, unhappy with something that you’ve instilled in yourself over time. This has [...]
Hello, my little lightbulbs! How are you? Are you feeling yourself this week or a little out of sorts? I’m a tad out of sorts myself - but nothing too crazy. I FINALLY have a courtesy car which is some good news! It’s a little Hyundai Aygo and (don’t tell Umeboshi) I really like it! [...]
Hello, my little lightbulb! How've you been doing? It’s officially May: my sister’s birthday month; the last month of Spring; and rhododendrons, one of my mum’s favourite plants (or at least her favourite to say), are in full bloom. I wanted to give you a little life update from my end as I haven’t posted [...]
Hello, my little lightbulb! I hope that you're doing well and feeling confident today! I'm still waiting on my car and itching for a night drive, but my time will come eventually! I'm still managing to get out and about, it's just a little trickier and takes a lot more organisation. Rivington Reservoir, UK There's [...]
