A Day in the Life
“Now I know you want to take me alive but I want to know why” I turn slowly to look at each individual person before I face the one I assume is in charge. He is wearing a badge on his uniform unlike the others and his face seems to be more cruel. When he doesn’t open his mouth to speak I push down on the trigger slightly and that seems to startle the group. Even the leader falters a little. “Someone better speak up.”

A Day in the Life
Samson is blocking the front door, he’s trying to keep me here. “You can’t leave, if they don’t get you they will kill me. They won’t hurt you, they promised!” He steps forward to try and grab me so I throw myself over the banister to try and escape. I don’t stick the landing as my trainer lands on a broken piece of ceramic and I fall. My hand lands in a shard of glass and I yelp in pain.

A Day in the Life
Without wasting a second I jump out of bed and change into the exact outfit I wore on my previous attempt to make it through this tiresome day without dying. I feel no need to check my phone calendar as I shove it into the zip up pocket on my leggings.

A Day in the Life
Once again I wake up in agony, I fly up and I look at my phone to see the date is the exact same as the last two times. I run out of the room ignoring the burning pain in my chest and I lock the front door of my flat.

A Day in the Life
When I start to come too I am being carried over someone’s shoulder with a heavy bag over my head. Without struggling I can feel tight binding on my wrists and ankles. Despite my head pounding I can hear somewhat of a conversation.

A Day in the Life
I wake up, my body aching and my head pounding. It seems familiar. My eyes begin to open up and slowly adjust to the bright light. By the way the sun is shining through the window it must be around midday.

How to Make a Side Job Work for You
Where do you see yourself in five years? Are you taking steps to reach this goal? Are you aware that you can change your life in such a short space of time if you work toward it every single day?

5 Ways I Deal with Depression
Being high functioning while suffering with any form of mental illness still has its struggles and sometimes I must admit that it does get to me. There are days where it is a struggle to get out of bed and do anything. When I go to work and have a breakdown in the staff room before my shift starts but minutes later I will wipe my face dry and clock in for my shift.

Adult Things I Hated as a Child
There are many things that I absolutely despise about being an adult. I hate responsibility, I HATE paying bills and for the majority of the time I hate having to work.

Dreams
A day or so ago I posted a short story that was roughly based on a dream that I had a few nights ago. It was a dream where someone I loved was taken from me too soon. The dream was about suicide to put it bluntly. Yeah, that is pretty brutal to think about.

Love Lost
Grief can seem like a thick dark cloud that feels near impossible to get away from. The pain that is caused from grief can be like a huge, dark ocean wave that keeps crashing over you, throwing you back into its depths again and again.

Motivation 101
I always find it difficult to get started on a project. It can take me months upon months to finally start something that I meant to start a while back. I tried to write an entire 50,000 book in the month of May and I ended up giving up after 11 days and 18443 words because work was too stressful.
