I’m currently sat on the sofa at Home, wearing my favourite (over-worn and mildly gross) cosy jumper and enjoying a few days away from adult life.

Heading back to my childhood Home is guaranteed to help me recharge and feel grounded. (And yes, that’s Home with a capital H since, in my mind, I have two of them!)

It can sometimes be hard to articulate this feeling fully, but I have attempted to anyway in the form of poetry; it seems only appropriate that I share this with you while I am here taking some much-needed time out where I grew up!

Dear Damsels has published my original poem, focused on the peace and revival that comes with being at home.
