Band-Aid

I’ve been finding it harder to explain myself as of late. It must be a bad case of mental fog because it hasn’t quite lifted after two months.

Reaching the Destination Means Another Journey is Just Beginning

I’m almost done with my apprenticeship and I’m nervous as hell. I thought you liked to change things up? I love moving on from old things. The sense of relief I get from finishing a project is heavenly – but it always comes with the heavy weight of preparing for the next project. And for […]

Don’t Overwork the Dough: Struggling with Perfectionism

I have a problem – I always work on something until I hate it. …OK, I might have some explaining to do. Initial Context As and when opportunities arise, I work on projects and create pieces of work.

Voices from the Inbetween

I wrote a short story based on something that happened to me this week. Sleep is a funny thing. Going to bed requires a special table to lie on and special clothes to wear. You close your eyes and eventually fall into a form of stasis… at least that’s how it’s supposed to work. Sometimes […]

The Prodigal Apprentice: Office-ally Back in Business

I return to work next week and I’m absolutely terrified. It’s literally been 7 months since I was last at work, (7.5 since I was in the office itself) so this is going to be a big ol’ change. No more waking up in the middle of the day, because I ignored my arbitrary alarms […]
