Is spending hours reading my book helping me address all the personal issues I need to sort out?
No.
Am I going to put my book down and deal with my problems like an adult?
Also no.

A friend posted on FB to say being a mum has made them complete and they don't understand anyone who chooses not to have kids. I really want to reply saying "having a career, a holiday home abroad and the ability to travel has completed me" but that would be childish, right?!

I told someone today that I was really tired and life was pretty stressful right now. Their response? "Well you aren't a mother, so what on earth do you have to be tired or stressed about?"

Can we normalise reading as a vital form of self-care? I'm sick of being branded anti-social / living too much in my head when immersing in a book is how I recoup valuable energy when the world feels overwhelming. It lets me carve out a piece of life that belongs solely to me.

I am sure motherhood is a wonderful thing, but why do we never talk about how empowering it can be not to have kids? Having children is not the only way to be fulfilled as a woman.

I desperately need to go on holiday with someone bookish. I'm thinking reading by the pool, reading on the balcony, reading whilst we drink cocktails, reading whilst we eat ice cream... then surfacing once a day over dinner to talk about our books. Who's in?

The best thing about working from home is that when I feel my blood pressure rising, I take a few minutes out in my library. This room means everything to me. It's my sanctuary, my safe place, and where I am my happiest.

Spent 20 minutes yesterday on my hands and knees shooting the breeze with a local cat in my garden.
Just seen him again this morning and realised that the reason his collar is so bulky is because it contains a cat cam.
I can never leave my house again.

Any author who thinks that Twitter is a waste of time - I genuinely buy books because they have been written by someone who has made me laugh or smile on here, regardless of whether I would usually buy that type of book. Human connection is so powerful!

Back in 2020 I planned how I would take my own life. My family didn't know. My friends didn't know. My colleagues didn't know. I was the strong, funny, capable Bex they had always known.
Sometimes the people who appear the strongest struggle the most.

Can we dispense with the "you don't know real love until you become a mother" quotes? I'm sure motherhood is fulfilling but so many of us have found other paths / been denied that chance. Can't we all just appreciate what we have without constantly having to compare to others?
