In the midst of my sadness that seems to have taken over my life for such a long time, I asked myself today do I still want him in my life, regardless of the pain I have gone through? Is that why my heart is aching so badly? And the truth is, I don’t even
We’ve all had a heavy year. Some heavier than others, but heavy, all the same. Whether you’ve lost a loved one, found yourself unemployed, been driven to despair by the boredom of lockdown or you’ve been shielding and resent those not taking the lockdown as seriously as you, the strain is feeling a bit much,

But one thing that bothers me is that Christmas has become so commercialised. It’s not about lavish gifts, luxury and excess for me, and over the past
It’s something I get called quite often and I’m just not a fan of it. Cute is something you call a puppy, a kitten, something pink and fluffy or a baby, not a grown woman. I think the reason I hate (I know hate is a strong word) it so much is that I’ve been
Dear Donna, Please will you keep this email anonymous? I kinda need some motherly advice, but cannot tell my mum because she’ll really judge me, probably rightly so. My boyfriend of seven years broke up with me during the first lockdown. We’d been together since we were eighteen and it broke my heart. I probably
