"Stone Blind" by Natalie Haynes: My Full Review, Summary & Notes
Browsing through the shelves of WH Smith on a wet Saturday afternoon, I was carrying far too many books. Like a kid in a sweet shop, I rushed around, enamoured by beautiful covers and crisp pages. My attention was being pulled from one title to the next, anxiously jotting down how much this would all cost and then trying to justify my purchases. £100 on books isn't so bad if I learn things from them, is it?

Cutting the Red Tape: Understanding the Connection Between Depression and Addiction. Content Warning.
Depression, with its intricate web of emotions and experiences, manifests uniquely in each person it touches. Yet, amidst the complexity of symptoms, one crucial sign of depression often slips through the cracks: addiction and substance abuse. Growing up in a family in which addiction was seemingly woven into our DNA, I've come to understand how addiction can create a deceptive veil. Too often, I watched a concoction of parties, loud music, and substance abuse mask the silent suffering of loved ones' depression, tucking it away slyly under the guise of revelry.

Breaking the Loop: Why You Need to Stop Googling Your Anxiety Symptoms Today
Let me take you back to a time very different from today. It's sometime in the spring/summer of 2017. I couldn't tell you what day it was because, at the time, days didn't exist. The sun would come up, then go again. To me, it was all just one day, the longest day of my life.

"Write for Life" by Julia Cameron: My First Impressions
After noticing that "The Artist's Way" had blown up on TikTok, and talking about the famed title with a friend, I was desperate to try it for myself. I didn't know who Julia Cameron was, but the buzz surrounding her best-selling book enamoured me. My head was swirling with thoughts of a spring filled with long days spent pouring my whole heart into my creativity. In my mind, I could see myself losing track of time watching flowers bloom. Then spending evenings writing poems long into sunset by the delicate breeze of an open window. Warmth in the air, what a Pinterest scene.

I Made Snowmen with My Children. Content Warning.
I made snowmen with my children. Wintry world whipping wind around fingers and faces. Breathless giggles condensing into clouds. Running through the trees, crunching fresh footprints. You stopped making footprints a month ago.

Jimmy Wordsmith Vs. The Writer's Block
Jim swished his tea leaves into a flurry with eight swirls of his favourite teaspoon. The gentle clinking of the metal against the side of the cup provided some welcome contrast to the silent stillness in his kitchen on this Sunday afternoon. Returning his buttocks to the grooves in his computer chair, he’d tap a few letters, then delete them. Read something, watch a YouTube video, watch pornography, play some lo-fi. He even tried a little yoga, but today was turning out to be another day of staring blankly at a blinking cursor. Nothing was getting the creativity flowing.
