This is my first trip of this size in a long time: 3 years to be exact. I was so nervous. Things felt almost new. So many things had changed, and yet there were some constants. I had to get to see all of my special USA friends (or at least a good chunk ofContinue reading “10 Years This Summer: Still Getting To Chase Life”

3,500 miles, 14 states, 2 provinces, lessons learnt: We are not built to do big things alone, we are built to do them together
Today’s been my last full day in NYC, and in America. And I’m a bit sad about it. This nearly month trip has been a blast and an inspiration. It’s been a frank reminder that our time is too valuable to let a moment go to waste. We need steal as much life as weContinue reading “3,500 miles, 14 states, 2 provinces, lessons learnt: We are not built to do big things alone, we are built to do them together”
A New Way. Can You Help Some People Who Mean Alot To The World, and To Me?
Throughout our lives, we will come to find ourselves in a lot of different places. A lot of different rooms. A lot of different corners. A lot of different wheres. Those wheres will be unexpected. They will surprise us, scare us, change everything, change nothing, and break our hearts. I’ve found myself in some prettyContinue reading “A New Way.

2014 moments: Hopes for 2015
My mom always says that on the first of the new year, you should do a little bit of everything good: small bits of good habits you want to carry through into the new year. That’s how I’ve always tried to start every first day of the year, no matter where in the world IContinue reading “2014 moments: Hopes for 2015”
On Navigating Stuckness
I’ve loved a lot of cities, but I didn’t know what it was like to be *in love* with a city, until New York. Today I take my flight home (and i’m bringing the shingles back with me too). Whilst I’m not best pleased to leave, it marks another summer that I’m still here, kickin’Continue reading “On Navigating Stuckness”
Skateboarding produces space, but also time and the self.
My bike (which I made from scratch) is pretty mushed up from when I got hit by a car 2 weeks ago. The front wheel is about as damaged as my ribs. As a result I was feeling pretty lost at getting from A to B. Sure I can walk, but it’s slow and boring.Continue reading “Skateboarding produces space, but also time and the self.”
Growing Up A Second Time
It was my good friends birthday yesterday. She turned only 19 years old. Still a baby. Although 19 was only 6/7 years ago for me, it seems so much longer. Being in your mid-20′s isn’t that old, but I feel like I’ve aged 2 lifetimes in the past 3+ years, I feel like I’m ageingContinue reading “Growing Up A Second Time”
Trying to Understand Early Russian Formalism & the Smizz Life
1. ABSENTATION: A member of a family leaves the security of the home environment Picture: It’s a few years ago. I left for America. I love America. Except I wasn’t leaving home on my usual terms. I was feeling super run-down. I had been having nightsweats, bone pain, this insane fatigue that wouldn’t subside. The UKContinue reading “Trying to Understand Early Russian Formalism & the Smizz Life”
A Brief Note
I am lucky. I am extremely lucky because I have access to free healthcare, I have a loving family made up of my mom, bro & nan who support my crazy journeys through life, I have amazing friends who are practically like my family scattered over and across the world. I’m lucky because even thoughContinue reading “A Brief Note”
I remain steadfast
I remain steadfast with my focus on the present and the future. Currently I’m having like some sort of crazy- probable cause: neck meets over-worked – 37 constant day headache that has degrees of severity from “totally ignorable to- i’m rolling on the floor” painful. It hasn’t gone away, not even once on its own. IContinue reading “I remain steadfast”
