4 days into this new year, my first proper blog post of 2025, damn it feels good.

It’s bloody cold, isn’t it? Here in the UK (for those reading outside the UK), we are expecting a bit of a snowstorm. It may just be tonight, or it may last until Monday. It depends on where you look for the weather. Then again, the weather in the UK is as predictable as rolling ten dice.

I write today because the week at work has been mental, and I’ve not really had a chance to breathe. I’m determined to make more out of my blog this year but also get back into posting a lot of my personal experiences to help others get through the shit I’ve been through. Only because I’ve had a few suggestions for that kind of thing does it still surprise me when I get messages from people saying my words have helped them.

I missed out a lot last year, not putting my words on this screen, I’ve missed it and writing through December reminded me how much I love it (I know I’ve said it before but I will continue to say it because it’s true).

I’m also trying a few new things, including Instagram reels. Below is my first one. Let me know what you think, like, share, and comment, and please follow my Instagram because more will come.

New insta reel

I’m trying a load of new things this year, and I’m not spoiling the surprises because things don’t always go to plan, do they?

_{^{(Spoiler alert) I will say one thing, I’ve got a few things in the planning stages, and some collaborations with other writers may come through here, so keep your eyes peeled}.}

Now, as my regular readers know, I’m well into my music, and I want to share my music choices more often, so below (yes again) is an artist I came across last year, and this song resonated with me a lot. Ren went through some shit when he was younger (do a read-up about him, you will be surprised), his problems were way more severe than my own, but many people will resonate deeply.

His other songs go deep, too, especially the “money game” series he has done. That’s probably why they won’t play them on the radio; the songs would open many eyes to the real world.

So, I hope 2025 goes well with my blog, and everything goes according to plan—well, many plans, as the case may be.

I want to continue to bring you quality content. I will always improve and make my words attractive to you.

I’ll bring my 1st collaboration (1st of many to come) of an awesome writer I have been in touch with, catch up on her blogs. There will be more collabs so as I say, keep you’re eyes peeled (What’s on my 2025 Vision Board.

Bring on 2025 and let’s take this blog to new levels.
