A Beautiful View of Perth

This has been a busy past month and although my title is 'Scotland: Chapter 13', I have actually done a fair bit of travel. I've visited Bristol and Liverpool, which was amazing for a change of scenery! I also got to venture to Perth a couple of times and explore this picturesque city.

Read on for my highlights, lowlights and lessons learnt!

Another Beautiful View of Perth on a Sunny Day

My Highlights:

• selling my debut collection of poetry & photography in Perth at the Literary Escape Festival;

  
  

• seeing the comedian Danny Bhoy perform in Perth;

  
  

• going to Liverpool for another Literary Escape Festival;

  
  

• seeing friends in Liverpool and then having them visit me;

  
  

• visiting family and working on songs for my Edinburgh Fringe Show;

  
  

• and finally, seeing a friend do an amazing performance in Terry Pratchett's Night Watch.

My Lowlights:

• worries about the future;

• facing difficult feelings during therapy sessions;

• and finally, struggling with low energy levels.

Lessons Learnt:

1. It's okay to sit with difficult feelings and express discontent or disappointment.

2. Try to rest a little everyday to avoid a weekly burnout.

3. You can't always predict the future.

4. You can't re-write the past.

5. You can achieve much more than you ever imagined!

See you soon!
