A Letter to my Mummzy
Dear Mum, If you are not a God-send. You loved me at my most unlovable moments; and what means the world is that you had no reason to, you didn’t have to stay, you didn’t have to care, but you did and still do. No one understands how much of a blessing…
CB: I Am Just Not Ready
For dating 😵 I promise I just don’t believe I’ll ever be truly ready and raring to go dating. Whenever I’ve recently gotten myself into a position to get to know someone, I am filled with apathy. I truly cannot be bothered. That doesn’t mean I don’t miss…
The Beauty I Behold

Ninth Time
It took only nine times To realise you were never what I thought you to be The ninth time you came between my legs It appeared to me, like an epiphany As tears stream down to my ears I think to myself: “I was right”
Ode to Mothers on Mother’s Day
Truly I tell you Motherhood has to be the single most hardest, yet rewarding roles undertaken. I’m no Mother, but I am arguably a fruit reaped from the Mothering I have experienced. I am grateful and blessed to have had the parenting that’s brought me to…
Singleness in Church
Anyone else feel like being single in church is an almost-sin? I swear it’s treated like a disease we need to be cured from or something. Now I know a lot of Christians aspire to marriage, but let’s not make marriage a goal, rather a preferred part of…
