‘Work will never be the same again.’ But what about those of us aching for a return to life in the before times. With all this talk of workspaces changing and the need for offices becoming somewhat obsolete, I worry that those of us desperate to work anywhere but home are being overlooked. Throughout the […]
This is what I’ve been searching for. A book I didn’t want to put down and so, ended up finishing within 72 hours. A book that felt so relatable that for a brief moment, I forgot how challenging (read: shitshow) this year has been. A book I stayed up until midnight reading in bed until […]
I recently downloaded TikTok and within minutes I realised that as a 32-year-old, I clearly was not the app’s intended audience.
