Today's a bad day. For the most part, quarantine has meant finding projects, baking an insane amount of banana bread [alongside the rest of instagram] and taking long walks. No, that's a lie. Truth Moment: For a while in the first week I completely avoided the 'Outside' and resisted the advice to take my government-mandated … Continue reading try again tomorrow.
Does anyone even read poetry anymore?
[I used to love reading and writing poetry but haven't done either in a long time.Funny how comfortable I've become with hiding my passions, huh ? Anyway whilst we've been in lockdown I've ironically had a bad case of writers block, but armed with an abundance of time and inspired by the spirit of Easter, … Continue reading Does anyone even read poetry anymore?
no i’m okay, i just love you
