Liberty’s Chamber of Ideas.

A year and a half ago I wrote a very angry blog post about if there was such a thing as the one, I was fresh out of an in hindsight not so great relationship and I was angry, and bitter reading back on what I wrote I can't get through a paragraph without physically cringing and hating myself more then I did beforehand. So I thought what better time to revisit past libs because shockingly what I wrote all that time ago still resonates with me and although my opinions have slightly altered, it’s all still pretty relevant. So here we are nearly two years later and still wondering if there is such a thing as the one? For someone that has a track record as bad as mine when it comes to toxic relationships, I should really have a gold medal or something because I seem to be real good at picking out the pieces of the shit in the world and then spending between six months or a cheeky three years of my life trying to convince myself that it can’t be that bad side note it always is th...

The World is falling apart and I’m very fragile . Well, who would have thought it? It’s only taken a pandemic and the world for it to essentially fall out of its ass, to make me want to start writing again. As you can imagine the impending doom that is hovering over all of us at the moment, and of course not to mention my best mate raging anxiety, have all made for a lovely long stint of the spicy boys meaning I’ve not wanted to do anything for the best part of a month. So for the past month, all I’ve done is live vicariously through my animal crossing, and watch all six seasons of Sex And The City, which I would argue is a very productive way to spend your time in quarantine, I did also turn twenty-two and reach my full potential of Karen the wine mum. But due to current circumstances, I have decided that my birthday did in fact, not happen and therefore I am still only twenty-one. So, all in all, a very good month I would argue? It is a well-known fact that I tend to ha...

Well, here we are. It’s albums of the year time once again this year has been both the longest and shortest year maybe ever in terms of music, when I was putting this list together I couldn’t actually believe that some of these albums came out this year because it seems that I’ve been listening to these albums for what feels like an eternity but in the best way possible of course. Putting this list together and listening back to these albums have been well a little bit emotional won't lie. All these albums mean something to me in different ways and marked a part of my life this year that I didn’t even realize, I mean sometimes some of these songs brought back memories that made me want to do a little sicky, but you know it happens, again putting this list together was a mixture of pretty simple choices and some of the hardest, I could only pick ten because otherwise, this list would have gone on forever and ever, of course, there are some honorable mentions that I couldn’...

Well I mean it’s been a while hasn’t it? After an eight-month hiatus, or if you roughly translate that too liberty is a MASSIVELY lazy bitch, I have returned. I’m sure you’ve missed me, your welcome.   Forgive me for this delightful word vomit I’m about to produce, because of course none of this is going to be coherent or good, considering I’m listening to a wonderfully cringe worthy playlist, entitled ‘alternative love songs’, so that’s not helping but I needed to say something, anything so here that word vomit is. I don’t know what it was that led me to the decision to rewatch both seasons of fleabag in a day, but it happened. And now I regret it, because well I can’t stop crying, and if the empty void I call my heart didn’t feel empty enough beforehand it for sure does now. I know I’m probably not the only one that has felt like this after watching it for the third time, or maybe even the first time, but something has shifted in relation to how I feel about this. G...

Part One Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost review. Oh hello! It’s me your local mushroom, I have returned to my now pretty much-forgotten blog which makes me so very sad, but honestly in the past two months there hasn’t been any spare time to write anything for myself which makes me so sad, because all I ever I want to do is write and make people listen to my insignificant opinions on everything and anything. But finally I have found some time in my mad hectic life to finally write something for myself, between working pretty much full time, doing a degree and trying to have some kind of social life and semi-normal sleeping pattern, I haven’t had a spare second to write anything, that is however until the wonder that is Foals new album came out three days ago, and now I’m about to make you read this delightful little waffle on this beautiful album that I haven’t stopped listening to for the past three days, and to think this is the only first half of the album, boys we are in ...

The start of the year is always a weird and emotional one, no matter how many times I tell myself that I won’t have some sort of melodramatic related breakdown, I always end up having one, and the start of this year has been no exception. It’s currently the 6 th of January and I’m already experiencing said melodramatic meltdown. The thing is I don’t have any idea why I’m having this meltdown so early in the year, it hasn’t even been 2019 for a week, and yet I’m already giving up on my whole focus on being positive and happier in yourself bullshit, I told myself at five to midnight six days ago, but must of admit six days is pretty solid for me, so well done libs I guess. Sure I’ve got a couple of ideas as to why I’m having this very teenage angst meltdown, that you only see in indie teenage romantic comedies for reference I feel very Palo Alto mixed with The Breakfast Club. But these feelings and thoughts are just reoccurring feelings that I’ve told myself aren’t a thing anymore...

Lib’s albums of the year. Somehow I blinked in July and suddenly its now December, Christmas is only 5 days away, and I still haven’t brought any presents nor thought about it, nice to know a another year has gone by but I’m still on brand! However I have watched the Gavin and Stacey Christmas special at least five times in the past week, so I mean that’s the only thing that matters. But alas another year has flown by and I’m writing yet another album of the year review, expect this one will actually make it up before the year finishes with any luck. To say that this year hasn’t been a roller coaster of emotions and realizations would be an understatement, this year has been the most challenging for my mental health in a VERY long time but its also been one of the best years in a very long time, I’ve done and seen some thongs I thought I would never do, and I met some of the most incredible people that I am beyond thankful for putting up with me and my shite because I hones...

is there such a thing as the one,or am i being lied too? well it’s happened again. I’m back on my Carrie Bradshaw bullshit once more,but without the whole living in new york and being effortless cool thing.  Im back to spending the majority of my time depressed and exhausted,about the fact im going to end up as the newer version of Bridget Jones but again without the really nice flat in Borough Market. Basically i have to many thoughts and feelings to process anything properly, and im pretty sure the six people i know are sick to death of hearing, about my what im gonna call not “quite a middle aged crisis but it might as well be.”  So enjoy whatever this is (basically me complaining about dying alone.) I’m not going to lie I’m pretty sure everyone’s aware of the fact i am a drama queen and i take everything to extremes because this isn’t really that deep,but too me,this is it,this is the final straw,this is the end. I’ve spent the last not even two weeks overan...

There's not many words to explain the array of emotions that Florence Welch can make me feel, let alone somehow write a review for her new album, high As Hope, that came out on Friday,so this should definitely be an interesting one. Florence Welch or better known as Florence and the machine have been a BIG old part of my life, since i first heard kiss with a fist, in possibly the most iconic film of all time (wild child) and from then on i have been utterly obsessed, and High As Hope just reminds me of why, I adore her as much as I do. Not many artists can make me feel the things that Florence can make me feel, I mean nine times out of ten,her words get me right where I don't want them too, and I'm a big old sobbing mess,she is a true poet and wordsmith, any song of hers can make me pin point a certain point in my life, she makes me feel what she feels, she can make me feel nostalgic for things that haven't even happened yet, there's something about her that I...

Bonjour !!!! Not really sure what to say about this album, but all I know is I've got some things to say, some of them good some of them not so good. First of all let's just start off by saying, we all know i adore arctic monkeys,and have done for a ridiculous amount of years (13 years to be precise) and again I'm all for artists,progressing and exploring different paths,and getting better at what they do, like look at Kendrick for example as he ever made a bad album? The answer is no. But honestly this album is just a bit dare i say it shit. I'm not denying that its definitely umm interesting and I'm intrigued none the less, but its just a bit shit,and I'm kind of really sad about it, wow never thought those words would come out of my mouth when talking about an arctic monkeys album, first time for everything hey? Again let me just say, that the music is so incredible,and gives me a proper heavy melancholy summer vibe which I love, and of course the majorit...

BONJOUR! In honor of the impending day of doom, that is fast approaching (the day of my birth), i thought i would write a little something about the things, I've learned in the twenty years that i have somehow managed to stay on this tiny fucked up planet. I'm aware its not a lot, and i still have a whole LOT to learn and at some point, i have to become an actual functionally adult (terrifying i know, these are also some rules i feel that i need to live by. so enjoy. 1. Listen libs, you are never really going to grow up, and you are fucking insane, but that's a good thing, well sometimes anyway. 2. Your never going to stop having a weird obsession,with The Simpsons its been your favourite programme for 15 years. 3. Amazingly the most unlikely of people, are the most supportive stop backing away from it. 4. stop telling yourself, you don't need help,or anyone because you do libs, adulthood is LONELY 5. It's okay to say no to people if it's making yo...

hello!! happy new year glad tidings and all that bollocks,hope christmas was good ,hope you didn’t kill any of your right winged older family members i know i almost did,but hey! it’s over for another twelve months thank fuck,although will admit the house looks dull now all the christmas decorations have been taken down,has our living room always been this beige? let’s be real here 2017 was a massive shit show for all of us from the orange baby man somehow weeding his way into the White House (i honestly still have no clue how he did it) to a ridiculous amount of terror attacks war and a whole load of heart break i  think we can all agree that last year was a shit show, with the expectation of about three gleaming moments of hope,all in all last year was pretty shit. and inevitably just like i do every year, i had a few (a lot) of breakdowns, and I’m sure this year will be no different because well it’s me and I’m bound to freak out about something,and go into a depressive hole...

life update  bonjour! hello hi,how are we all?we good? bit cold isn’t it like the sort of cold where you get frostbite on your ass and you feel your nipples may or may not fall off at any given moment. wow okay yeah no that was a bit too much information but hey ho lets carry on. it’s been a while but then again it’s been a while since ive done literally anything, but i thought i would do a little update because i miss me little blog very much  the past four months haven’t been the easiest nor the hardness, between starting uni,the threat of my nana not being well,starting a new job and my mental health getting just a tiny bit better and then of course  increasing worse (it’s a bit messy at the moment) i haven’t had the chance to sleep let alone have a creative outlet which has now taken it’s toll on me and I’m itching to doing something like literally anything. theres been so many things that I’ve wanted to write about or you know in my case force my o...
