Tough day? Remember, you're not alone. ❤️ Sending strength and love. Bad days happen, but they don't define you. Focus on self-compassion – be kind to yourself. Tomorrow brings new possibilities. #mentalhealth #resilience #selfcare
I read something today that really opened my eyes. The Social Model of Disability says no one is disabled, it’s society that does the disabling. It made me rethink how we treat each other. Maybe we can all do a bit more to make life easier. #Inclusion #Accessibility

Sometimes things fall flat and it stings, but it doesn’t mean you’re done. It’s just life nudging you in a different direction. Take the hint, breathe, go again. You’re allowed to learn as you go.

This is so me. Turns out there’s a Japanese word for having a separate stomach for pudding. Betsubara. Finally a bit of science that explains my life choices. Makes me think there’s always room for small joys, even on heavy days. #Betsubara #LittleThings #FoodLove

Some days life throws curveballs and it’s easy to tense up. But if you can, try seeing those moments as a chance to stretch a bit and learn something new. No pressure, just gentle steps forward. You’ve got more in you than you think. #Growth #KeepGoing

Sorting out my music and stumbled on an old friend. Tale to Tell by The Mummers. Forgot how much soul that album has. Proper little time capsule. Gave me a weird rush of hope I didn’t know I needed. Funny how music does that.

Right, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest really ties the whole wild ride together. Noomi Rapace turns up again looking like she could end a government with one stare. Honestly, her hair should get its own spin off. It steals scenes. #HornetsNest #NoomiRapace #NordicNoir

Trying my best today. Some things will land, some things will wobble, and that’s fine. I’m reminding myself to stay kind, even when I slip. If you need that reminder too, take it. We don’t have to get it perfect to make it a good day. #BeGentle #MentalHealth #SmallSteps

Feels wild how life can flip with one moment. An accident, a call, a diagnosis. It reminds me to stay grounded and notice the small stuff while it’s here. None of us is as solid as we pretend. Be gentle with yourself today. #MindfulLiving #TakeCare

You know that awkward stretch when you try something new and every part of you wants to bolt? That’s usually where the real progress hides. Be kind to yourself while you lean into it. You’re building something stronger. #Growth #KeepGoing

Rewatching The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and honestly, the 2009 one wipes the floor with that American remake. Noomi Rapace just stomps through the screen. Proper fire. Makes you wonder why Hollywood even tried. #NoomiRapace #DragonTattoo #NordicNoir

Right, Eyes Wide Shut. Two hours of Tom Cruise wandering around New York looking like he’s about to ask for the manager, while his marriage unravels like a dodgy Christmas jumper. Weird, tense, oddly sexy. Kubrick really said good luck sleeping. #EyesWideShut #Kubrick #90sFilm

Just rewatched Don't Breathe. Feels like someone locked you in a room with Stephen Lang and your worst decisions. Claustrophobic, tense, and somehow you’re rooting for the chaos. Brutal fun. #DontBreathe #HorrorThriller #StephenLang #EdgeOfYourSeat

Sometimes we push ourselves to hurry along, but real growth takes time. It’s alright to slow down. You’re not falling behind, you’re finding your own pace. Be gentle with yourself and let things unfold.

Putting in effort isn’t a sign of weakness. It just means you care enough to grow. Mastery doesn’t arrive overnight, it builds with every small step you take. Be gentle with yourself. You’re doing more than you think.

It’s never too late to learn something new. Your brain’s still got plenty of spark in it, even on the days you feel stuck. Tiny steps count. Curiosity counts. You’re allowed to grow at your own pace. #GrowthMindset #KeepLearning

Funny how a tiny shift in how you look at things can open up space you didn’t realise you had. With the right mindset, growth sneaks in quietly. No pressure, just gentle steps forward. You’re doing better than you think.

Sometimes the good stuff isn’t in the finish line at all. It’s in the little moments while you’re getting there. If you can find a bit of joy in the process, the results feel lighter anyway. Go steady with yourself.

Watched Strange Harvest 2024 and my nerves are still pacing the room. I’m a sucker for police procedural stuff and this one felt a bit too real. Proper tense. Proper gritty. Might sleep with the light on. #StrangeHarvest #CrimeThriller

Trying these @Tesco Finest roast turkey crisps and honestly… why do they taste like a full Sunday roast in disguise? Thought I’d have one, ended up inhaling half the bag. No regrets, just vibes.

Try swapping “I can't do this” for “I can't do this yet.” It takes the pressure down a notch and reminds you that growth isn’t a race. We’re all figuring it out in our own messy way. Be kind to yourself while you learn. #MentalHealth #KeepGoing

The Ward (2010). Thought I was above cheap shocks but that last jump scare got me. Full body flinch. I’m blaming the lighting, the sound design and my terrible life choices. Decent fun though. #TheWard #HorrorNight #FilmChat

Funny how criticism can sting, but if you sit with it for a minute, it can actually point you in a better direction. None of us gets it right first time. Let it help you grow, not flatten you. We’re all learning as we go. #Growth #Mindset #KeepGoing

Sometimes the simplest rules hit the hardest. For the rest of 2025, I’m keeping it easy. Call who calls you. Visit who visits you. Let the rest drift. Life feels lighter when you stop chasing what doesn’t meet you.

Not sure what to do with Superman 2025. Looks great, shiny as anything, but the story left me blinking like I'd missed a memo. Maybe I just wanted a bit more bite. Or maybe I'm just grumpy again. #Superman2025 #FilmTalk #MovieNight

Wild that nursing gets bumped off the “professional degree” list in the US. Like we don’t rely on nurses to keep the whole system standing. Feels like a step backwards and a bit of a slap. Still, nurses don’t quit easily. They’ll push through. #Nursing #Healthcare #Education
