Cher journal, Do you ever feel like you're fleeting? I love that word; fleeting, "lasting for a very short time". A quick passing moment, something that rushes by, you can barely catch a glimpse of it, barely hold on to it. Just as you think you're about to reach out and touch it, it falls … Continue reading Fleeting…

Anniversary
Cher journal, I cannot believe that it has been a year since I started my blog! It's really amazing to see how much has changed in a year. At first writing on my blog was just a bit of fun, but now it means so much more. It's a platform for me to share my … Continue reading Anniversary
4am Confessions
Cher journal, I must confess, I was disappointed when you didn't wish me Happy Birthday. I must confess, sometimes when I'm walking alone I wonder if you are watching me somewhere... I find it weirdly comforting. I must confess, I see you in the man wearing burgandy that walks past me, I see you in … Continue reading 4am Confessions
Bonsoir Marseille
Cher journal, I wanted to share some photos that I took when I visited Marseille in June, so I thought I'd share some brief details on what my time was like there. I stayed in a hotel that was about an hour walk away from the beach. The weather was gorgeous the entire time I … Continue reading Bonsoir Marseille
Bravery in Youth
Cher journal, I'd like to share a story, one that is not mine, but needs to be heard. In March, my Uncle (who is younger than me by 6 years) was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma; bone cancer. For months his symptoms were thought to be growing pains, and when the doctors eventually diagnosed him with osteosarcoma, … Continue reading Bravery in Youth
Laugh a Little
Cher journal, I wonder if I will ever feel true heartbreak, or if 'true heartbreak' exists. The last time someone broke my heart I thought I'd never feel pain like that again. Yet every time it happens it's a new low, a new kind of sadness that I haven't experienced before, and now I wonder … Continue reading Laugh a Little
Alice: The Finale
Cher journal, Sometimes you need to take a step back from everything to see it all clearly, and only when you take off the rose-tinted glasses can you see your reality. I read recently that people don't like being told the truth because it distorts their version of reality, their illusion. I think that statement … Continue reading Alice: The Finale
Alice: Part Two
Cher journal, I'm an overthinker. Not in an attention-seeking, I'm-fishing-for-compliments kind of way, but in an anxiety-ridden, war against myself kind of way. I like to say "I spiral", in the same way Alice spirals down her rabbit hole towards Wonderland, I fall into my own trap of self-hatred and confusion. Sometimes I imagine that … Continue reading Alice: Part Two
Sunny Days
Cher journal, It's been a long time since I've written anything, and that's simply because I've not felt like it. Sometimes I have so much going on in my head that the thought of trying to write it down seems impossible. Even now, I'm struggling to gather my thoughts together enough to update you all … Continue reading Sunny Days
Alice
Cher journal, I often find myself reminiscing over something; looking back at old photos or reading through old messages, I can't help myself, I enjoy remembering what has been. I often feel as if a part of me is missing, lost in my past. A child-like part, that lived in old houses and places, spoke … Continue reading Alice
