Half-Year Progress Review
Hi Everyone! We’re halfway through 2025 and the idea of that is honestly quite terrifying to consider. Time seems to be going by so quickly that it’s hard to imagine how much time has passed.

Reflections on Inspiration, Motivation and Discipline
Something I noticed during my break was how difficult it was to start on something and stay focused. Working on three separate projects, it’s hard to divide time and effort equally amongst them.

It’s not necessarily … Continue reading Reflections on Inspiration, Motivation and Discipline

It’s hard to really think on the positives of 2020 as it all felt draining and terrible. I feel though that, while my problems are nowhere near as serious or urgent … Continue reading 2020 in review and a path going forward
