Looking forward to the future.
After ending my (nearly) 6 year relationship in 2011, I decided I really needed to take some time to “get to know myself” again. I realised in those years how much I had changed and how different my priorities had changed to ones that suited Adam. I was 25 at the time and not knowing what I wanted from life. I’ve spent a lot of 2012 soul searching, envisioning, dreaming, working on my mental health, working on my life. It’s been an odd year, it’s been emotional and hard at times, part of figuring out what you want in life means looking at yourself, exposing yourself and really facing up to your…

Dreaming of The Hobbit premiere.
I’m sitting here WISHING I could win the lottery, or some amazing competition, that would send me to Wellington for the World Premiere of The Hobbit. You see, I am a huge Tolkien fan. HUGE. I have the world of Middle Earth to thank for my introduction to fandom, and to Conventions. I started reading The Hobbit in Year 5, yes, when I was around 11. It was in class, and we would read the chapters and have tasks, I remember having to draw our interpretation of the Dwarves walking up the Lonely Mountain. It wouldn’t be until a few years later, when I sat in a movie cinema to watch this…

A post is which I ramble about stuff.
Sometimes I worry if I share too much on my blog, I don’t share it all, it’s only the tip of the iceberg but being so open on the internet can be hard. Blogging about fashion is easy, blogging about body acceptance comes natural to me, but being open and sharing stuff about my mental health can be hard. What if it puts people off? What if it jeoperdises working with a brand in the future? Then I remember, this is MY blog, and everybody has problems. My life is in scrambles at the moment. I don’t know which was is up and I feel so tired. Half my stuff is…

A Love letter to New Zealand.
Waiting to board my flight home to Australia. When I was growing up, one of my best friends was an older male. Most people would see him as an older brother figure and to a degree he was, but really, he was my best friend. He was from New Zealand and for many years he was what I’d think of when I thought of New Zealand. It was with him that I sat in the cinema falling in love with the landscape of J.R.R Tolkiens Middle Earth come to life, it was then, I fell in love with New Zealand. Me, in around 2005. Being a hobbit/wizard at the LoTR exhibition in Sydney.…

Life Musings.
First of all, sorry that the blog went down over the weekend. Of course it had to go down on the weekend I was away from my computer and had VERY limited net access. Oh well, all that matters is that it’s back up, and running better then ever, thanks to Sucuri! Sharing on my blog is sometimes difficult. I always try to be open, I talk about things that effect my life, my mental illness, some of the day to day dribbles, my love of animals, of fashion, of accepting myself. Truth is, i’m very much a shy and insecure person. I find it hard opening up to people, even…
