I run a small start-up company that sells health supplements. We operated between a few cardboard boxes. Over the years our business started growing and now we have a team of thirty-plus employees. I am so proud to see the evolution of this business and the fantastic people we have had working for us that […]
The last two years have been really tough for me. My mother passed away in February two years ago and it feels as if I am still mourning her loss. I think a big part of it was that her death was very unexpected. It’s not like she was ill and I was able to […]
I’ve had a terrible problem my entire life, which has plagued me day after day. What’s my problem? It’s that my facial hair grows at three times the speed of a normal man’s. This would be great if I wanted to grow an awesome beard, but I don’t. Honestly, I wish I didn’t grow facial […]
The next stage of our plan was simple in theory: drive along the highway with a bunch of flowers that didn’t belong to us, toward the airport, without getting caught. All we had to do was blend in with traffic. Unfortunately, we were driving a float covered in roses, which stuck out like a sore […]
I put my foot down with my daughter. After speaking to some friends about my dilemma (of wanting to get the bathroom renovated but my daughter putting up a big fuss), I’ve learnt that her actions are not normal. They reminded me that I am the adult and I make the decisions regardless of whether […]
My brother is such a strange guy. He absolutely loves the planet, the sun and the moon, and it’s seriously all he goes on about. Why can’t he just be like everyone else’s brother and play video games until 4:00am every night? Instead of hearing him screaming in the middle of the night because he’s […]
My husband just left myself and our two daughters for a younger woman. I’m understandably devastated, especially because he works with her. They’ve been seeing each other in secret for the last year, and he has finally decided that he doesn’t want to keep her a secret anymore. I absolutely cannot forgive him and to […]
Bernard is really losing the plot. No, really. He actually believes that his so-called ‘chalking boots’ are going to take off, and be a commercial hit. More to the point, he wants to pour the entirety of his savings into developing the design. Considering the current state of the design, which is essentially a pair […]
People love to complain about the long drives their families expect them to do at Christmas. Me? I’m all for it. I love a long drive, and only wish I had an excuse to do them more often. It’s an opportunity to completely switch off from everything annoying in life: emails, text messages, screens of […]
I’ve been suffering from obesity for the last ten years. I’ve been told by my doctor that if I don’t lose weight then I will cut my life expectancy in half. Being only twenty five, this has scared me a lot. I want to live for at least another sixty years and my doctor has […]
