why we broke up
What’s with people’s incessant need to know the ins-and-outs of relationships that aren’t their own? I’ve been guilty as a goose. The classic stalk of one (or both), contemplating whether they are still together because they haven’t posted anything with the two of them in a while. (Turns out they are still together, just too […]

rackers’ life tips: part 17
1. Sometimes you get what you want and sometimes you get what you need and sometimes you get what you get. 2. I’ve made this point before but I’ll make it again… The song Most Girls is a banger, mainly because of the message behind it. “I wanna be like most girls,” – being like most […]

It’s Friday night. 8.48pm. I have turned down two invitations to go for drinks and, you know, have a good time. I have taken my pants off. But not yet my makeup, because it looks really good today and I am not yet emotionally ready to part with it. I’m sitting under my doona. Doona, […]

Every place has its own charm, something to fall in love with around every corner. No words can explain seeing the Eiffel Tower after years of staring at the […]

timing
“There are people we meet in life who miss being important to us by inches, days, or heartbeats. Another place or time or a different emotional frame of mind and we would willingly fall into their arms; gladly take up their challenge or invitation. But as it is, we encounter them when we are discontent […]

my dearest 23 year old me
Just moments before I sat down to write this, I was cleaning out my room. A winter-clean, if you will. De-cluttering. Both my living space and my mind. I came across a letter that I had completely forgotten I had ever written. Even looking at it, I can’t conjure up the memory of sitting down […]

rackers’ life tips: part 15
1. Men, if you are going to give a fake name and a fake age to a lady (if I can call myself that after my behaviour), don’t give her your real number. The facade will be ruined before you know it (thx to good old fashioned Facebook tricks). 2. You know it’s getting serious […]
