My World in Words
Welcome to my blog, the place I try to put my inner world into words, aiming to share wisdom gained through experience, hope, mistakes, and everything that makes life both beautiful and messy.
FYI - Posts will appear haphazardly and on no set schedule other than the one life sets out for me. Things get a little chaotic at times, but I will always return eventually.

My longest run in the last 5 months up until that point was 12km, and the race was 14km up and down a bloody mountain. I sat, breathed, meditated, and ate chocolate peanut butter as I tried to reframe my thoughts.
