I Love My Mum
My mum is like my best friend, and thinking about that a lot recently has made me want to explain exactly why she is such an inspiration to me.
(my name is Saffron and these are some of my thoughts)

I wanted to share my other resolutions for the year, as well as the ones I’ve achieved so far!
This is the second year I managed to achieve my New Years Resolution of reading 52 books, something I am very proud of!
I went to see the new Barbie movie (my second time going to the cinema in about a decade!!!), and I had THOUGHTS. So I decided to write a review.
I had some positive thoughts a few days ago, and I wanted to share them. I’ve been feeling a lot of regret, but after a lot of thinking, I keep telling myself this little thing I thought up:
‘YOU ARE RUNNING YOUR OWN RACE’.
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.
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…
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.
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.
