“I AM FINALLY AT HOME WITHIN MYSELF” – Top Board
“This piece is a celebration of self-acceptance and growth.
The freedom the last year has given us to spend time alone and get comfortable with
ourselves; our minds, bodies, relationships, long-term goals, wants and needs. We’re
alive, thriving and making the most if what we’ve got.”

‘Fuck This Shit’ – Middle Board
Wake up. 5am? 6am? It doesn’t matter. What now? Breakfast. Coffee. One. Two. Not three. A quick walk. Okay, just keep going. A nice two hour walk. Home. Dinner. What now? Another walk, shorter this time. Home again. What time is it? Only 8pm. Early night, bed by 9. Lying with my eyes open. Cigarette. Or joint? Bed. Sleep, if you’re lucky. Wake up. What now?

‘Too much to Handle’ – Bottom Board
Lockdown was a total whirlwind of burn out, late night phone calls and online relationships. It’s a time when looking back I don’t know what happened. I spent so much time staring at a screen in my small bedroom whilst balancing uni life and self employment. It’s made me want to slow down and take more time for myself, whatever that means.
