Adventure awaits
I too sat down, laying the spear between us, and tried to explain how I came to Pellucidar, and wherefrom, but it was as impossible for him to grasp or believe the strange tale I told him as I fear it is for you upon the outer crust to believe in the existence of the…

Everyone Is a Little Bit Weird Until You Get to Know Them
I think first impressions are a little unfair. You meet someone for the first time, spend approximately twelve minutes in their presence, and somehow come away with a whole personality profile. They’re quiet, so you assume they’re shy. They’re talkative, so you assume they’re outgoing. They don’t say much in a group, so you decide…

The Things I Romanticise vs. The Things I Actually Enjoy
I have a whole version of my life that exists only in my head. In it, I wake up at 6 a.m. without an alarm, make coffee in a ceramic mug, write in a leather journal while golden light falls across the desk, and go for a run that leaves me glowing instead of wheezing.…

What Happens When You Stop Trying to Be Understandable to Everyone
For years I edited myself before I even opened my mouth. I’d read the room, guess what version of me it wanted, and hand that one over. With one group I was the funny one. With another, the quiet and sensible one. With family, the easy one who never caused trouble. I thought this was…

My Current Personality Is Just a Series of Unfinished Plans
If you looked at my life from the outside, you’d think I was a very ambitious person. I have a half-finished playlist for a road trip I haven’t planned. A notes app full of titles with no bodies underneath them. A language app that sends me passive-aggressive reminders in the voice of a heartbroken owl.…

A Very Honest Review of My Life Lately
Overall rating: three and a half stars. Would not say I’m recommending it to a friend yet, but I’m not leaving a complaint either. There’s potential. The pacing is chaotic, the plot is unclear, and the main character makes some baffling decisions, but every so often there’s a scene that makes the whole thing worth…

Things I Never Used to Like But Have Sort of Gotten Fond Of
I need to start with a confession that would have horrified the younger me. I like cheesecake now. Genuinely, unreservedly, go-back-for-a-second-slice like it. For years I rolled my eyes at it. Too heavy, too dense, too much of a fuss over what is essentially sweet cheese. Then a few days ago I had a blueberry…

Things I Thought I’d Have Figured Out By Now
When I was a kid, I pictured the end of my teens as a kind of finish line. Not the end of anything, just the point where the shaking stops. I imagined a version of me who woke up before the alarm, knew what she wanted to become, and knew what she wanted for dinner,…
