The well manicured lawns are now overgrown. The trampoline rusted, broken and turned upside down in the long grass and weeds. The fences that line paddocks are old and broken. Abondoned chicken pens litter the outskirts of the house and the old bird cage roof where finches, quails and canaries were kept has completely collapsed. …
I've written about you many times... I've cried about you, laughed about you, joked about how much of a clingy bastard you are and even tried to romanticise you. But today I am writing you a letter of acceptance. Because you deserve acknowledgement for all the times you let me down, all the lessons you …
Hi, my name is Haley. I'm a 27-year-old girl, or should I say woman now that I'm over the age of 25. I don't feel 27 years old, but here I am living the life of 27 years on earth. Here are my ramblings for the 2017 year. 1. Turn off phone notifications for a …
The Life Plan by Shannah Kennedy I can't recommend this book enough. This book is full of practical tips and tricks that you can scribble in to reset your goals and values.

I can't remember arriving to work because I wasn't paying attention. I know the road far too well to plan it to perfection. I don't know the date, but it's been 52 weeks of reflection. My existence in the hands of this world. I felt it when I left High School, who am I …
My veins are blue and connected in every single nerve and my heart pulses to the rhythm of my breath. My skin is white and my blood is red, just like you, one in the same. But I sit in the corner, the wild observer of the night. The one who listens instead of speaks. …
Make promises, not resolutions - Haley Lauren. I dislike New Year's resolutions because most people set themselves up for failure. Every year I see the same old posts of "this year was shit, bring on the New Year." Please promise yourself that this year you will change that little voice. Do it with me, lets …
The days are long but the years fly by - Haley Lauren. 2015 is coming to an end. I turned 25 years old this year (full adult). Yet I still feel like I'm lost and unsure of my direction in life. There are still so many things my younger self promised to do but never …
