April 3rd is World Party Day. Also known as P Day, it is an annually celebrated unofficial holiday that aims to achieve social change and harmony by encouraging people to celebrate life by partying.

The Mother of All Losses – Adelle Onyango
It’ll be 7 years since mummy died on the 31st of March and I’m writing this while listening to her favourite song – Pata Pata by Miriam Makeba. “Time can never heal this because time has never had a mother” Someone shared this quote with me recently. We both don’t know who originally said it … Continue reading The Mother of All Losses – Adelle Onyango
Grey’s Anatomy
"At some point, you have to make a decision. Boundaries don't keep other people out, they fence you in. Life is messy. That's how we're made. So you can waste your life drawing lines, or you can live your life crossing them." – Meredith Grey. "You never know the biggest day of your life is … Continue reading Grey’s Anatomy
Guest Post – Jess
Endo is a fucking nightmare. I could be smiling with you one minute and the next you are rushing me to the ER. I have learnt to make jokes about it because if I am too serious, what good does that bring me? The other day a colleague told me that my body is Chinese … Continue reading Guest Post – Jess

Days In For The Win
January 2nd is World Introvert Day. For real. It really is a thing. While an unofficial holiday, it has been celebrated by introverts since 2011. It is certainly not a coincidence that World Introvert Day falls on the day after New Year’s Day. For introverts such as myself this day is a much needed reprieve … Continue reading Days In For The Win
