I felt like, with mental health, both good and bad, defining a huge portion of my life and identity I needed to post today. I thought about posting all of the bad things that had happened when I was at my worst, the way I'd been treated by people I thought cared about me, the…Read more World Mental Health Day

You realise Parent is just a contraction of “Pay rent” right?
I'm angry at other parents. Not all other parents I should point out just the ones who seem to hate their kids. I should elaborate. Ok so if you have kids this'll be easy if not imagine you have some.

I've wanted to write this blog for a couple of days but I've been sick, like really really sick.
