I write. Sometimes I draw. Occasionally I don't want to human. I read loads. Currently on my second year of the Creative Writing MFA at MMU.

"unborrow'd from the eye." Tintern Abbey - William Wordsworth.

[Gabriela Belard @GabsWrites]

“The sounding cataract
Haunted me like a passion: the tall rock,
The mountain, and the deep gloomy wood,
Their colours and their forms, were then to me
And appetite; a feeling and a love,
That had no need of a remoter charm,
By thought supplied, nor any interest
..."

"It is the same! For, be it joy or sorrow,
The path of its departure still is free:
Man's yesterday may ne'er be like his morrow;
Nought may endure but Mutability." Shelly

"We rest. – A dream has power to poison sleep;
We rise. – One wandering thought pollutes the day;
We feel, conceive or reason, laugh or weep;
Embrace fond woe, or cast our cares away:" 1/2

Sneezing my brains out. Nature annihilating the human race in the most uncomfortable and annoying possible way. Nature, good for you.

Tonight: Wine of Bulgaria.

7:06 Two trains ride side by side, I look at the people on the other train and I'm witnessing commuters: reading, snoozing, staring at nothing, reading adds, drinking from Thermos, keeping warm. A true snapshot of what is like to be a human at 7:06.

#SheHulk Brilliant and truthful as so many people have to deal with it on a daily basis.

[stoobs @thejstoobs]

#shehulk might genuinely be the first time some young men hear a woman speak candidly about experiences like this. It might not seem like it but that’s hugely important.

"As a society, our stories, plural, are the most valuable things we have. They enable us to connect and make sense of ourselves through time."

Almost 20 years later 🤯 and I cannot overstate how much an Eng lit degree has given me as a lens into the world. Rishi is wrong: We need our stories, our narratives and insights, to make sense of ourselves. My piece in today’s @observer
