Hello Internet, I hope you are doing well today. My apologies for the slight gap in posting proceedings recently. As you will figure out as you read on, there's mental reasons for that. Writing has also been a bit difficult for me recently because university assignments took priority and I’ve been battling a little bit of a creative block. But this has taken a bit of time for me to get together because sometimes I get nervous to write down more personal stuff. Putting how you’re feeling into words is quite a confronting thing, and it makes those feelings you’re going through seem all the more real when you manifest them in word form. But the messages are important, the songs are cool and I’m really proud of the final product. So here we go... The past couple of months have been really weird for me emotionally. I don’t want to get into specifics right now, but it’s been a mix of challenging, confusing and strangely enlightening. Usually my anxiety and g...

Hello Internet, I hope you are doing well today 🌏 My inspiration for today's post comes from the fact that I don't really feel like writing any new stuff at the moment. A lot of the posts that I've put up over the last 6 weeks or so had either been pre-written before their upload date or I forced myself to write something because I had shit I wanted to get off my chest. But for the past week or so, my writing fire has dimmed slightly. So in order to not mess up my consistent run of posting (which I am quite proud of), I've got a 'throwback' post for y'all. I wrote this review of the live action Beauty and the Beast film back in April of last year. It was initially meant for distribution through another publication online, but that never eventuated. Cut to 17 months later, I thought I would put it up for someone to read while I wait for my writing spark to come back. I hope you don't mind.... A tale as old as time receives a charming update i...

Hey Internet! I hope you are doing well today 🌏 Today's post will be very different to my last one. Thanks to anyone who read that, I needed to get some stuff off my chest and at this point, I don't regret posting it at all. But this is the present, and I have a fun little music related post for you today. I believe that more people need to get on the musical theatre obsession train, so please enjoy me raving about some of my faves.... I’ve consumed a shit tonne of music over the last 7 months. That isn’t a new thing for me, but I feel like I’ve turned my music discovery sense up a gear in 2018. I was going over what I could write in terms of musical countdowns and quickly realised that there was an Everest-sized mountain of songs that I could gush to the Internet about. While it’s all well and good to outline which artists made me dance, cry or feel empowered for the last few months, I’ve been feeling something even cooler in 2018.... Musical theatre sound...

Hello there Internet, I hope you are doing well today 🌏 I’m not going to start this one with my usual bullshit about how I’m sorry I’ve posted this way later than planned, or that I’m asking you to excuse me for posting my second YouTuber oriented post in a row. Instead, I’m just going to get straight to the point. If you happened to read my last post (linked here   if you’re interested), then you know that at the end I thought the next post (i.e. this one) was going to be a standard review of the happy, fun time I had at Dan and Phil’s world tour Interactive Introverts. Turns out, that is only half true. I did go to the show last Sunday night, but the ‘happy, fun time’ part didn’t exactly eventuate.... That in itself is a loaded statement, especially if you are someone reading this who went to the show and did have a ‘happy, fun time’. Don’t worry, I am going to try and explain myself. But as usual, my brain won’t let me have a normal or coherent thought, so...
