Come on, Comfort. Show me what you've got.. Top Story - August 2022.
It happens on the first page - "Look, I didn't want to be a half-blood.". Every single memory comes back like a flood, and I welcome it. Hello again, old friend.

Welcome Aboard: MIRAGE
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Which you'd know is complete bull if you've ever visited MIRAGE before, the home of everything and everyone, no matter who you are or what you are. Whether you're human or an orc, or a Gralien (grey aliens, people. We were super creative with naming species back in the day). Everybody is welcome. The freaks and geeks and everything from absolutely beautiful to outright fugly. Which is why - all three hundred and sixty five days of the year - you'll find me at MIRAGE.

Oh, To Kill A Star
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. But, strictly speaking, that's not so true. You see, things do scream in the vacuum of space. Throughout all of the galaxies things are crying out, begging to be heard. Great wails and yells. The entirety of space is screaming - endless, painful screaming.

Love Smells Like…
I used to think love smelled like home-made cookies and my mother’s shampoo. It used to smell like motor oil and my dad’s hugs after his bike rides…until that all changed.

The Journey Is Long
There's blazing sunshine through a dirty window. Outside there is the constant stream of forests and fields all blurring into a sea of green - it's beautiful here. Here. Here is a place I do not know, not quiet yet.

The Big Summer Playlist
IMO, summer isn't summer until you've curated a super fun and extensive playlist that specifically reminds you of freshly cut grass, barbeques and ice cream galore, and getting sand in places you don't particularly want sand to be.

5 Reasons Why I Love 'The Adam Project': A Movie Review. Top Story - March 2022.
Released earlier this month, The Adam Project has quickly become one of my favourite science-fiction action movies that Netflix has distributed. Ryan Reynolds and Shawn Levy truly are the dream team and this movie just proves it.

love, and rose coloured glasses...
Truthfully I'm over him. And if that was the truth then call me a fucking liar. Paint my skin red on all the places you have touched me and colour my heart black.

Finally, love at first sight
I'm in a room full of people, doing something mundane and unimportant when someone mentions your name. My ears prick up, my eyes quickly flick towards you...and you're already looking.

How Well Do You Know Your Musicals?
After Netflix's release of Tick, Tick...Boom! in November I have had Jonathon Larson's songs on a loop in my brain ever since. Doesn't matter if I'm in the shower, or at work, or trying to sleep because wherever I go it's just: "don't panic, don't jump ship, can't fight it, like taxes" on and on and on!

Hurting Heart Poetry
Janie liked to describe herself as a woman of words. At age 22, she finished her creative writing degree, decided to move back in with her parents in order to save money, and she very quickly realised life after education wasn't as glamorous as she'd hoped.

Rest, Relaxation & Resolutions. Top Story - December 2021.
Now I don't know about you but if I had the option, I would throw 2021 into the bin. An absolute trash year. I've been dealing with it all this year: COVID life, heartbreak, work-related stress, I'm 21 and found my first grey hair, and above all of that I have not been prioritising resting my body.
