Left of Field, Rhodes

After getting rejected left, right and centre; I decided to take a break from girls for a while. I think the tipping point was when a girl told me nothing was ever going to happen even though I had never asked her out. I thought that was a bit harsh and went home to cry […]

You’re not going to believe this but I spend a lot of time thinking about food. What should I eat for lunch? What should I have for dinner? What should I eat for tomorrow’s lunch? Those questions are always on my mind along with wondering how in the world I’m going to get my novel […]

At a certain point, my struggle stopped and my writing changed. I’m very much the Jay-Z of the food blogging community. I came into the game rapping about my struggles and what I had to do to get by. But eventually, I got with Beyonce, my career started taking off and I just couldn’t go […]

I had no idea what I was doing and there were many factors outside of my control that weren’t helping either. Factors like walking around with less confidence in myself than a baby […]

Grocery shopping when hungry is one of the most rookie adult mistakes one can make. Naturally, it’s one I make almost every single time. I go into Woolworths with the intention of just buying broccoli, tuna and some bread and emerge with three cans of Pringles, two tubs of Golden Gaytime ice cream, a 1kg […]

As time has passed, my taste in music has changed drastically. Growing up, I listened to whatever my sister was listening to. This consisted mostly of R&B and sad break up songs when boys would dump her (confession: she only really got dumped once and the guy told her he was leaving the country immediately. It […]
