The Unexpected Intermission

Welcome to my Unexpected Intermission - a written and visual journal that started with a pause I didn’t plan and somehow became something much bigger.

For most of my life, I’ve been very good at moving forward.

Working. Doing. Fixing. Pushing through. Getting shit done.

Then life had other plans.

Being forced to stop gave me far too much time to think - about my life, relationships, friendships, human behaviour, the things we tolerate, the things we outgrow, and all the uncomfortable shit we tend not to say out loud.

So I started writing about it.

Not because I have the answers. I absolutely do not.

But somewhere along the way, this stopped being just a journal about what happened to me and became a place to talk honestly about the stuff that happens to all of us.

The good. The bad. The uncomfortable. The completely fucking absurd.

Sometimes it’s personal. Sometimes it’s observational. Sometimes it’s dark. Sometimes it’s funny. Quite often it’s both.

There are no inspirational quotes here.

No carefully packaged life lessons.

And definitely no five-step guide to becoming the best version of yourself.

Just raw thoughts, uncomfortable questions, a whole lot of honesty and absolutely no fluff.

I still don’t know exactly what comes next.

Turns out, I’m okay with that.
