Feeling Good!

This week has been absolutely fantastic. I have been a student of Oxford University for the first time since my first Michaelmus term here.  Today I even studied in the Bodleian Library. 

However, there has been something else new this week... FITNESS!
 I have been working out everyday this week. It has been painful but it has made me feel so good! 

I just can't get over how brilliant this week has been.
Writing everyday, studying in the library, eating well, working out and spending time with TidyBoy & Friends. 

I will leave it to Mr. Williams to let you know how I am feeling.

Breaking Free


For so long I have been under this blanket of hard work not focussing on what I am in Oxford to do, but concentrating on what I needed to do to in order to stay in Oxford. I got stressed, and sick and uninspired resulting in even more stressed. 
Then... I broke free. 
Nothing has ever felt this good. Pulling off the blankets and stepping out from under this constantly pouring rain cloud. I feel inspired, healthy, stress-free and most importantly creative. 
Never will I allow myself to become bound and chained in that dark place of everyday tedium. 
I live to create. I live to dream. I live to inspire. 

I saw this quote the day after I quit my job, and the day before I was awarded a college grant. 
Now I plan to live everyday with this lesson...



Now is the time to be who I want to be.

The Garden Bench: A Poem

Lavender caught on the breeze of your garden. A bench, warmed and swollen holds me in memories of you. Beneath the honeysuckle bathed in the low sunlight of an Autumn afternoon we sit together. Leaves and petals gather below the heaving trellises but, you will not rake today. I return in winter, snow wraps our bench, a present from the season. I stand and beneath the white I glimpse you, buried in the greenness of the garden. You never left, you are still here, where I can always find you.
