On the right to have no self belief as a creative person

The thing is, every time I think of self belief and fear and pursuit of dreams, I always think of me. I berate myself for being so afraid, thinking so small, not being consistent; there’s no end to the ways you can be unkind and ungracious to yourself. There’s a part I hadn’t considered until now- that me doesn’t exist alone in the world and society constantly sends messages validating or invalidating your existence. For so long, I was stuck in a loop of thinking “why if people appreciate my work do I find it so hard to place value on it”- but there’s a massive difference between what people s ..read more

Why are friendships so hard to end?

When you enter into a contract with someone, one of the things that you agree on is the terms on which the contract ends. You don't walk up to the first day of your new job expecting that you work in perpetuity. You retain ownership of your right to leave on the terms agreed. In romantic social relationships, we have a whole host of exit clauses that are passed on to us our whole lives, from friends, family, enemies, TV, movies, games, music, and a whole lot of reading material. Whether it's a situationship, marriage, a random date, a monogamous or polyamorous relationship, we have a guide as ..read more

Welcome to a week of tv! Here’s what I watched this week. Industry S02E05 As we delve deeper into the core of the characters in season 2, each episode makes me feel like I’m stretched thin. The pacing of the show is excellent, as well as the dialogue and characterisation, so it’s an hour of tv that feels so much shorter. Rap Sh!t S01E08 (the finale) This season has been extra short but Issa has managed to give us the core of the characters, their motivations and the intricacies of their relationships with each other, something that isn’t easy to do in eight 30- minute episodes. Trying S03E08 ..read more

Is a Masterclass Subscription Worth It?

By now, everyone knows im an Issa Rae super fan. I’ve watched and/or read 90 percent of her interviews, watched all shows she’s acted and produced and read her book. When I saw she was doing a masterclass, of course I wanted to watch it- I wanted to watch it badly – but not badly enough to cough up $200 for a masterclass subscription. I must have complained enough because someone great was kind enough to send me a 7 day guest pass when she did cough up the $180 for a subscription. The best thing was that she gifted me that subscription on a week where I was home alone and had not much else to ..read more

It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these. To see previous posts in this series click here. This was going to be a very different post. If you’ve read any of the previous editions, you know I really mean it when I say a-round the web. Today though, everything I’m sharing is from one source. I stumbled on one article, ended up reading a lot of them and I was like you know what? It makes sense to just focus on these links today. All headings are hyperlinked. I’ve never been in a relationship I think this was interesting in that it’s something I rarely see get talked about but there are peop ..read more

Very rarely is there an album where sooooo many lines are quotable. This album’s vibe is dancing and capitalism, so I have taken off my anti-capitalist hat for this post and I suggest you do the same as you get into the post. Cozy Comfortable with my skin, cozy with who I am In this era of self love on IG (twitter is still sticking with the self hate) this is perfect for anything from selfies to general lifestyle shots. Maybe you’re saying you like your body, maybe you’re saying you like your life, maybe you’re just saying you’re not popping champagne and chilling on a boat in Italy, but you’r ..read more

Bridgerton Season 2 Discussion

Hello Hello! Another Bridgerton season was foisted on us on Friday and I don’t know why, but my excitement levels going into it were low. If you didn’t know already, the Bridgerton Netflix series is based on a series of books about the Bridgerton family. This season was based on book 2, “The Viscount Who Loved Me”. Everything after this sentence is going to contain season 1 and 2 spoilers. The one thing I think this season had going for it was natural, genuine chemistry between Kate and Anthony. The biggest flaw of season 1 was that Daphne and Simon had no chemistry. Rege carried the entire s ..read more

What Dami Watched This Week (Jan 31-Feb 6th 2022)

I’m trying something new. I’ve created spaces to talk about books I read but nowhere to talk about tv show episodes and not just the show in general. Rather than committing to detailed recaps of any one show, I’m going to do a general recap of stuff I watch every week. I will indicate where there are spoilers in specific shows or if the entire thing is just one big spoiler! Suggest stuff that’s good as well. Happy tv show reading! The Gilded Age S01E01 and E02 I saw lots of influencer ads for this but wasn’t going to watch it because even though I liked Downton Abbey (written by the same writ ..read more

What we don’t like to talk about when we talk about adult friendships

How difficult it is sometimes to forgive to forget To prioritise to have the same interests how hard long distance is and making space in our lives when things change that it’s hard, and takes thought and effort to maintain that sometimes, no one else gets it, why you’re friends with a person and no one else has to that there’s no template on how to know for sure when something’s wrong that friends fall out of love too that it’s easy to hold on to a relationship because of how long it’s been instead of how good it feels that honesty, even in the kindest way, can feel harsh that getting to know ..read more
