Shame

I’ve been working at a new job in a new position for a couple of months now, and while I know I am qualified and confident in my ability to do the job, sometimes I still have a sneaking suspicion that one day I will make a mistake so big that it will require aContinueContinue reading “Shame”

Year 16

On Monday my dad (what I thought) spontaneously messaged the family group chat and asked if we could have a family dinner. Initially I thought, “Awwww, that’s cute, dad wants to have a family dinner,” but I completely neglected to read the chunk of message before stating the occasion it was for, which was toContinueContinue reading “Year 16”

But there are days when IContinueContinue reading “Confessions”

When it comes to hard topics, such as regarding my family, I get extra sensitive. It’s not a topic IContinueContinue reading “At the end of the tunnel looking in”

I didn’t want to have to tear up in their faces either, but when noContinueContinue reading “It’s all in the family”
