The suddenness! The sheer suddenness of the move. The unexpected nature of the move. The unpredictability of the move. The fact that there was no warning! 2020 has been an absolute shit show, and even though I was delusional enough to think this would be my year, it, in some way, was. But before I [...]
You never really know when it can hit you. One day you’re by yourself, just having the time of your life, and then boom, out of nowhere, you’re not yourself anymore. Every little thing feels like too much and nothing at all, at the same time. It’s dark and too bright, quiet and too loud, [...]
This constant state of ‘what even’ has been my favourite chore of 2020 so far! I feel like you have been my therapist more than my readers because ah shit, here we go again!

Please bear in mind that these are my opinions, and should in no way influence you. So if you’re uncomfortable with, or unable to read about sensitive topics like this, please [...]
Funky Poet has been my random virtual diary since 2013. What first started on Blogspot, gradually moved onto WordPress, and I eventually got my domain name too. But the one thing that never changed was my inconsistency! “But Simone, you’ve been so consistent with your posts lately!”. I’m just as surprised as you. I’ve never [...]
‘No more self-deprecating jokes’, I whisper in between soft sobs. For the longest time now, I have constantly made jokes about things that could be deemed controversial by many.
