We’d been careful to set an alarm the night before for 6:30am, but somehow we didn’t wake up until 8:30! Neither of us felt like we had slept much, it had been a cold and uncomfortable night. The park was going to be opening at 9, so we quickly packed up and jumped back over… Continue reading Day 4
After a morning tea and chat with our lovely Couchsurfing host, we said our goodbyes and headed to catch a bus to Guildford. We’d picked our destination because it was the furthest we could get with the £20 we’d acquired yesterday and after a quick search online, it seemed like it should be easy to… Continue reading Day 3
We woke up at 6:30 to a beautiful sunshiney morning. There had been a bit of rain and some patches of wind in the night, but our tarps had kept us well protected. It hadn’t been the most comfortable sleep of my life on the hard ground, but the cardboard cushioning had definitely helped and… Continue reading Day 2

I’m nervous about Therapy this evening. It’s because I haven’t seen her for a couple of weeks, then after tonight I’m not going to see her for another couple of weeks because of Easter. So part of me is like, what’s the point? Also, so much has happened in the last couple of weeks that… Continue reading I guess I’ll just see what happens
I’m dying the most slow, boring death ever. I think I need to do something dangerous to see if there’s any fight left in me at all. I walk down the dark streets alone at night with my headphones on and I dare somebody to try and take my bag. I cross the roads without… Continue reading Favourite Questions
The sea, the sea, get to the sea. The sea will get me away from me. Don’t look anyone in the eye, they’ll know, they’ll know. Don’t open your mouth, you might scream forever and never stop. Just go to the sea. My head was spinning like the children had been. ‘I just spun around… Continue reading “What does Anxiety feel like?”
