In Honour of Working Mums
I have a confession to make. I used to be a very judgemental person. Like very judgemental. Basically anything you did, that I didn’t agree with, was clearly wrong, and made you an inferior human being. I’m ashamed to admit it, but it’s true. Thankfully, as time has passed, and I’ve grown up a little, I have realised that not everything is quite as black and white as I would like. There may be right and wrong, and better ways of doing things, but life is not usually...
Read MoreWhen Humanity Rears it’s Beautiful Head
Now that I’m back in the work force, I am reminded of just how annoying, rude and frustrating the human race can be at times. (Like when teenage boys feel the need to steal a carton of open rum, and then break the bottles all over the place.) I mean really, there are days when it’s perfectly acceptable to state ‘people suck,’ and decide you will never waste your time with them ever again. And then, there are other days, when the world surprises you. When people prove...

Hello, good morning, how you do? What makes your rising sun so new? Every now and then, you come across a blog post, or a deep discussion, where someone wants to talk about their ‘theme song.’ And it invariably ends with the question, “what’s your theme song?’ which of course you can’t answer straight away because, lets face it, no one is instantly that retrospective about their own lives. Sometimes, however, you have a moment. A minute of pure, clear...
Read MoreFeb Fast: What Really Matters
When I found out I was pregnant, it was not in the ideal way. Well not my ideal. I’d always thought I would be married and settled when I first peed on a stick, but I wasn’t. I was in a relationship at least, but not married, not settled, and not really very happy. I was also kind of hungover. I should have realised earlier. A period two weeks late is generally cause for alarm, but I was nineteen and had more important things to worry about. Such as how many drinks I could get out...

Things have been a little odd over here in Essentially Jess land. 2013 is seriously making me scratch my head. I know I said I wanted to stretch myself this year, but this is taking it to a whole new level. First there was all the drama that made me just want to pack it in, but I managed to push through. Then there was the fact that my iPhone is basically on life support, and the fairy, for all intents and purposes, appears to have completely abandoned me. Which is of course a tragedy of the...
Read MoreFeb Fast Part Two: Responsibility
So I’ve been trying to think what I want to write for this post for days, and nothing has sounded right, because it seems I am being misunderstood on so many levels at the moment. It’s exhausting and tiring, and I’m just a bit over trying to explain myself constantly. But back to the beginning. In an effort to further procrastinate the writing of these words, I did what any self respecting blogger does in this situation. Hang out on Facebook. Usually a fail proof idea to...
