The keys to the place that When Caitie met Soda now calls home. Thank you so much, Louise @TheJanuaryRose Have you ever felt lost? I mean totally, profoundly lost. Like the world has stopped looking the way that it used to; like all of the things you knew about yourself and your place in it have changed so dramatically [...]
Hello, dearest friends, I wanted to write this while all of the emotions are still on the surface. ALL of the emotions. Because there is so much I want to say, and so much gratitude that I want to express. I'm not sure if there are even words for the depth of the emotion that I am feeling, but, I'm [...]
So, this one's a really personal one. And, it's a hard one to write too. Because it starts with one of the darkest moments in my life: the moment when I didn't want to be anymore. The moment when I lost myself. I've never really considered myself an 'ambitious' person. I never had a career in mind, and so, when [...]
You've always compared yourself to other people, haven't you? I mean, you're the first person to tell others that 'comparison is the thief of joy'; but, you don't follow that advice, do you? You look around you, at the people that you think are prettier, thinner, successful, in love, happy. But you don't look at yourself; not really anyway. Because you're [...]
Twenty-seven. Even typing that sounded old. I can't believe that I'm twenty-seven-years of age. I mean, I realise it's not that old. Not that old at all. But looking back at the past year, so much has happened, and I have changed in more ways than I can count. So, am I happy to be older? Yes. Not because I'm [...]
Last week, I was lucky enough to have a little break in Lisbon. As is always the case, when I'm with my favourite people, it was perfect. Ph. @ David Murray We walked, we talked, laughed so hard I'm confident at least one of us peed a little... (I won't name any names... Okay, okay, it was probably most definitely [...]
My dear friend. You didn't know this at the time, but you can into my life during a really dark time. I was unwell, I didn't leave the house much, and I spent so much of my time alone. I'd started to feel isolated, and useless. My life didn't feel like it had much meaning. I felt like I lacked [...]
This week, I found my way home. I moved into my very first, and very own studio. It's been a long time coming, but, it has been so worth the wait. To my people: you got me here. You held me up when I couldn't stand on my own. You've been there, through it all. You've seen my darkest moments. And [...]
You were never sure of yourself growing up, were you? You saw yourself as living in someone’s shadow. But, to me, you were never, ever, anything other than the brightest star. We moved a lot, and each time, you became a little less certain. We were both bullied, you and I, and it always hurt more to think of people [...]
One of the things that I love most about what I do, is that I get to tell stories. I get to tell stories with words that are sometimes hard to find. Sometimes the words in my chest are too big to write down. They're sometimes too big to feel, too. And when those happen, I let my hands tell [...]
