(my name is Saffron and these are some of my thoughts)

In recent years, a new caricature has been added to society’s ‘roles for women’. Alongside ‘delicate flower’, and ‘loud RELATEABLE tomboy’, sits ‘power woman’.
I want to talk about the saviour narrative, and ‘delicate girl’ image, because they’ve affected my confidence, my identity, and my desire to be attractive.
Recently I listened to a podcast, which is something that, due to struggling to concentrate, I haven’t been able to do for a long time. It was all about koalas..
It’s nearly the end of January, and I’m sorry I’ve been so absent. I’m still in hospital, but I’m trying to think of positives, and set goals…
For the first time ever, I achieved my New Years Resolution of reading 52 books! It was a fun challenge, and so I thought I’d share the 52 books I read.
This is just a quick post really, to talk about how I’m feeling at the moment, as we come to the end of 2022.
I’ve been working through my annual Christmas Food Haul, although this year is the smallest yet (trying to be less extravagant and more careful), and thought I should share the cereal reviews
It was my birthday last week. I’m 24.
I feel like a lot has changed in the last year. And I guess it has. I’m feeling quite shaky in my identity right now…something that I imagine many people experience when it gets to a ‘celebration’ of 12 months of your life passing by. And so I decided to make a list of the main things that have happened, and how I’ve changed.
This wonderful procrastination escapade led me to discover two brilliant films, which I decided to share with you today: What’s Your Number, a 2011 American romcom starring Anna Faris and Chris Evans, and Last Holiday, which was released in 2006 and stars Queen Latifah!
I’ve had some very fun conversations with friends this week so I thought I would share some of the ‘mini epiphany’ thoughts that had formed in my mind.
