WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME? If that question hits you on some level, don’t worry, I’ve asked myself that question more times than I can remember. I’ve wondered it whilst fighting back tears on a beach when I was 17 and watching his hand move through the sand to find one that wasn’t mine, I’ve […]
Isn’t it funny how memories attach themselves to places and things? I’m personally deadly for being the “We have to go to the cinema, these 82 restaurants, and not to forget this random alleyway on Saturday night, in order to erase all of the past memories with him!!” person. Maybe that’s just me, I don’t […]
I think I’ve gone weird. Okay, well no, I haven’t. In fact I think I may have had a girl power epiphany of some sort. I woke up some days ago, about to check my phone before it hit me: There were not going to be any texts from a man on any social media […]
Is it so hard not to tell someone you’re going to jet around the globe with them if you plan on ghosting them tomorrow? Ah, the big question of the night. Seriously though, a recent late night car dmc with a friend had me asking myself: “Why do some guys make promises they don’t intend […]
Sitting here drinking a cup of tea after a very nutritious dinner of chicken nuggets and 5,000 spuds smothered in cheese, something tells me that judging by the comfort craving, my body is picking up the weird vibe I’m feeling today. And so will the tub of Ben and Jerry’s that I plan to devour […]
Tinder – Is it worth the swipe? After recently almost super liking my ex, I would think not. No doubt it would have been absolutely morto on my life should I suddenly express a false, deep desire to hop back into bed with him after four years. Or worse… lunch. No thank you, boo. It […]
Psycho… a term that is very often chucked around the modern dating game. You know the situation, maybe you’ve called him out on his bulls*t or are asking where the relationship is going. You want answers, mature conversation and reassurance that you’re not wasting your time, but because he is unable to give you this […]
I can still see the Snapchat now, the words “So when are we going on a date then?” fearlessly typed across my face. Oh Fenella, you bloody idiot. We had been snapping on and off for far too long but had yet to meet. He was a friend of my friend’s fella, hello, double dates […]
Every girl has that big hurt. So much so, that as you read that line you could probably picture him instantly. Oh, I feel ya hun. In my case, my friends and I call him “Lord Voldemort” because he is he who shall not be named. He is definitely not a Saturday brunch topic. I […]
It was another day at the office, I was typing away and ready to read messages from my man who should have been pining over my return. There I was texting my beau as normal as I was working away, probably typing up an article about one of the Kardashians, when suddenly, my man quickly […]
2020 has quite possibly been the most strange year to date. A global pandemic was definitely not something I had prepared for when I celebrated my birthday in January, but here we are. Even though a lot of us haven’t been doing much, lockdown seems to have made us reflect on a lot of things. […]
The girl squad, we all have them, we all love them. I don’t know about you, but mine have seen me at my absolute worst, and absolute best. As cheesy as it sounds, the relationship you have with your girlfriends is one of the most fulfilling there is. From crying my eyes out on their […]
This story takes place when I was in bed all cosy, sudocrem on all my spots, without a care in the world. Sometime late into the night, I heard shuffling downstairs. That was it, my parents were back from the wedding they had gone to and Mum had been on the Prosecco. Within 10 minutes, […]
“So I’ll talk to you tomorrow then?” By this stage I was swinging out of the passenger side, high heels in my hands, 45 layers of foundation beginning to budge. “Yeah sure, talk to you tomorrow!” I slammed the door and he sped off dramatically into the distance. Well, everything all felt dramatic at that […]
It had been six days. Six days of that cocktail of distance and complete absence. To take that taste out of my mouth, cocktails were on the agenda for the girls and I. I had spent the previous Saturday engrossed in an X- Factor style sob story and the arms of plenty of promises. “I […]
“Oh, I’m texting him!” We’ve all said it, but what does it really mean? How long before texting should reach the next level, and if it doesn’t, what is going on? What are we? What aren’t we? What happens if I pass him in the street? I’m always the gal who wonders: “WHY are we […]
