Agora-poetry: day #8

Click here to read about the Agora-Poetry series! Hello everyone! I’m sorry for disappearing on you all of a sudden. I came down a bad case of food poisoning on Wednesday, and my energy levels were essentially zapped for the rest of the week. If you’d like to keep up to date with everything happeningContinue reading “Agora-poetry: day #8”

Agora-poetry: day #7

Click here to read about the Agora-Poetry series! At the beginning of this challenge, I had a very Romantic image of what my day-to-day would look like. Perched on a bench at my local park, legs crossed ever so slightly to indicate I am in fact a ~writer~ as I scribble away in my notebook,Continue reading “Agora-poetry: day #7”

Agora-poetry: day #6

Click here to read about the Agora-Poetry series! Journalling – recommended by almost everyone and their mothers, and their mother’s therapist, and my therapist to me. Up until the beginning of August, I had kept a diary on my phone. I didn’t write in it everyday, but it was an extremely useful place for meContinue reading “Agora-poetry: day #6”

Agora-poetry: day #5

Click here to read about the Agora-Poetry series! Petrichor is that earthy smell which appears after it rains, the smell of the ground drying.

Agora-poetry: day #3

Click here to read about the Agora-Poetry series! Anxiety is a funny thing. As much as I would like to blame my lack of frequent posts on simply laziness, I know that isn’t it – rather, it’s a complicated mess, different strands of different fears merging into one. I’m sure those of you who sufferContinue reading “Agora-poetry: day #3”

Agora-poetry: day #2

Click here to read about the Agora-Poetry series! Today, I didn’t make it outside. And that’s OK. Instead, I spent most of the day wanting to go outside and wanting to do things (which is also why this post and poem have come out at 12am rather than 12pm). Whilst I wanted to boil itContinue reading “Agora-poetry: day #2”

Agora-poetry: day #1

Two days ago, I decided to go for a walk around my local neighbourhood. For most, this of course sounds normal, pleasant even. Unfortunately for me, I have symptoms of agoraphobia, which means getting my feet outside the door, let alone get them moving, is challenging enough. When I finally made the push to goContinue reading “Agora-poetry: day #1”
