My OCD is kicking in. I missed the full stop at the end when sharing due to typing on my phone. Two wins, however. One for sharing, one for resisting the urge to delete.

08.02.2026 08:44 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Well, I've just booked up to watch all 3 LOTR extended movies in one day at the local cinema. As Gandalf said, "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us," so I'm choosing to sit in the same seat for 12 hours and watch the greatest trilogy ever. #film #writing #LOTR

06.02.2026 17:06 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0It is. For me, it's about the curated feed. I'm a perfectionist when it comes to visuals.
06.02.2026 14:24 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0That's actually good to know.
05.02.2026 19:21 — 👍 2 🔁 1 💬 0 📌 0I agree. Thank you.
05.02.2026 19:17 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Instagram is not good for my mental health. ADHD combined with perfectionism creates a 'paralysis-procrastination' cycle. I build accounts up to 3k+, gain traction, change my mind and then destroy them. I've just deleted my established accounts on there, once again. #mentalhealth #instagram #writing

As I said in a previous post, I think Bluesky is the only social media platform that doesn't destroy my sanity; now, I actually think it is proving to be beneficial for my mental health! #mentalhealth #bluesky #writing #writer #author #photography

Thanks. I know. I've shared bits of it over the years and had positive feedback, but then I've gone back into my shell.
02.02.2026 18:21 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0My Dad wrote this poem for his parents after they passed. It inspired me to start writing at a young age, but I've always been afraid to share my own work, until now. Sadly, he passed when I was 16, but he continues to inspire me, alongside my 4-year-old daughter. #poetry #poem #writing #booksky
02.02.2026 18:14 — 👍 35 🔁 3 💬 1 📌 0I was 6 months into my travels, living and working in Australia, at the time. I told them I couldn't return home, due to work and cost. I told them I'd returned to Thailand for a mini-break and continued to post photos from my break in Thailand, but I was on my way back to the UK for Christmas.
23.12.2025 21:01 — 👍 13 🔁 2 💬 2 📌 1Back in 2018, I surprised my family by returning home for Christmas. This was their reaction. Spending time with loved ones is more important than anything materialistic. Spare a thought for those who aren't so fortunate. #writing #booksky #travel #writer #travelblog #Christmas #mentalhealth

10.12.2025 22:57 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Good point. I really enjoy all of the above and, of course, Romero was, and still is an inspiration to many.
13.09.2025 22:27 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Real zombies don't run! There are a few good 'running zombie' movies but you are right, it's a very different vibe. I wouldn't want the running type in my imaginary post-apocalyptic world.
