I still remember the day like it was yesterday. I was playing on the basketball field loving life. The weather was warm and I could feel the sun singing the fine hairs on the back of my neck. We were in the grand finals for basketball, up against our biggest rival team. The passion was …
When I was five years old I met my best friend in primary school. He was the most outgoing, fun and light-hearted kind of guy. Sadly, he didn’t have the best family life. He was constantly relocating between foster care as his parents could not look after him. We lost contact for a few …
When I grow up I want to be a painter. I don’t want to be a painter of the paintings in the museums, I want to be a painter that paints houses. I think they’re really cool. I’m ten and my mum and dad just bought me a paintbrush. I’ve painted all the different spots …

Life is unpredictable …

I’ve always really been into film and television. When I tell people this, they think that I mean just sitting back and watching movies and TV, but that’s not the case. I’m in awe of film production and the creative stories behind it. When I watch a film, or even a short video for that …
I think we all remember our first drive on our P’s. A lot of us were freshly eighteen and feeling invincible, knowing the world was at our feet. You sit in your car for the first time by yourself, put the radio on louder than you were ever allowed to when driving with your parents, …
I am the resident carbon monoxide of this air conditioner. I have resided here since my home was installed, but I was dormant as everything else was “working” and therefore there was no room for me to move.
