Bright Life! Bright Life!
Hello, my little lightbulb! I hope that you’re doing well and feeling grounded. Something happened to me this week that left me feeling quite uprooted. My car was stolen on Tuesday night, which I discovered on Wednesday morning when I went to pick up my car in Rainhill, to find only an empty car park. [...]
Exercise is an essential part of my week. It’s proven to have an absolute bouquet of benefits for the body, mind, and emotional wellbeing. One of the best things about exercise is that it’s very flexible; you can choose whatever exercise fits your lifestyle and ability; from running (sadly no more for me and my [...]
Phone phobia was a term originally coined for those, like me, who were scared of making or taking telephone calls. Beware the dreaded unknown number! Back in my admin assistant days, when I was working for my dad’s psychotherapy business, I would need a pep talk, a trip to the bathroom, and a spare piece [...]
Fleeting side glances and burning cheeks progress into declarations of love, gift-giving, cuddles, and all those lovely things that relationships bring. We’ve seen it in every single romance ever. Hetero boy meets hetero girl, their relationship builds until some great crisis occurs, they have a break and eventually return to each other and become stronger [...]
Hey lightbulbs! A few months back, you may have noticed the not-so-subtle changes made to this beautiful blogosphere. Yōkina Living became Akarui Lifestyle and, me being the amazing chaotic wonder that I am, there wasn’t much explanation as to why that was. Well...the wait is over! This post is going to chat about the reasons [...]
Where my average Joe’s at? My losers. Failures. People who don’t win pub quizzes or get promoted; who don’t get drinks bought for them or have 10k followers on social media; who maybe struggle to say the right thing sometimes (or all the time); who always seem to be going through something; who are late [...]
Hello my little lightbulbs! You guys know that I love an early rise. Getting up early and cracking on with the day gives me such an energy boost: I'm more productive, active and positive when I'm up early and I'm always striving to be up as early as possible . This wasn't always the case [...]
Hello there my little lightbulbs! I’m back in the UK after spending a couple of months in Guernsey, a small island between the UK and France (not a town near London like I originally thought). What started as a short visit blossomed into a longer working holiday. I got a job as a bartender, travelled [...]
When seeking true happiness, the advice we always hear is to ‘just be yourself’, ‘do what makes you happy’ and ‘follow your dreams’. We already chatted about the complexities of being yourself in the last post, so we already know that this advice isn't so easy. And what about if you don't know yourself very [...]
If you've heard of ONE OK ROCK then this blog's title may be ringing a few bells for you. If not, then you're like me before I went to Japan and learned of the bilingual lyrical genius of Moriuchi Takahiro. I came to love this band for multiple reasons. Their pop-punk music nostalgia-whacked me back [...]
