Sierra Burgess Is a Loser: a tale of fat girls
You didn’t think I’d let the new Netflix movie Sierra Burgess is a Loser go by without my comment, did you? Knowing my love of all things Netflix Originals movies, you can’t be surprised. Add in that it had not one, but TWO fat girl story lines in it and I was sold. Here’s why…

I am not critical of myself, I’m self-aware
Sometimes when I talk about the things I’ve learned or the mistakes I’ve made, people rush to my aid. They tell me that it’s not that bad, that I’M not that bad. Don’t get me wrong, I love you guys for that. Your generosity with me knows no bounds. But because of that, I wanted…

Look what you made me do.
You’d be forgiven for thinking this was about Taylor Swift. It’s not. I just stole her line. Sorry, Taylor, I’m sure you’ll cope. This is about giving up control of your life to someone else. Handing it over and letting them run you, run it, in whatever way they see fit. Saying, look what you…

Would you hate Mondays if you liked your job?
Would you hate Mondays if you liked your job? Not a trick question. Go on, think about it. Would you hate Monday, the act of starting a new week, if you loved what you did? I’ve been thinking about this a lot. Monday morning doesn’t have an ‘ahhh crap’ feeling about it for me. But…
