• An Archive For The First Half Of The Decade (2021)January 24, 2026
  So, one of my things for 2026 is using practically no social media. My reasoning for this? It’s simply a happy medium. I’ve tried social media, I doom scroll every time I load up instagram or TikTok. And, I’ve tried going full cold-turkey. And, well, logistically and realistically speaking, that doesn’t work. It’s not practical to have no TV or games consoles when that is a big way of socialising these days. If anything it made me more isolated. So, my plan is to simply limit the social media I use, pretty much just iMessage and… Read more: An Archive For The First Half Of The Decade (2021)
• An Assortment Of My Artwork From Years Gone ByJanuary 3, 2026
  So early 2026 is here, and I’ve been doing exactly what I said I was going to do late last year- start again. But, to do that, I wanted to curate, but not delete, the digital footprint of my past. Because, well, that was the building blocks, no matter how small, to what made me who I am today. I started this… monuments but all-too-necessary task last year, even before making my post about letting go. I had quietly removed almost all online traces of my adventures to a land a little too far away. Most… Read more: An Assortment Of My Artwork From Years Gone By
• Letting GoDecember 19, 2025
  I didn’t know what to title this post, but as I start to write this, it’s just clocking over to the last month of 2025. I didn’t expect this year to end the way that it has. Things feel… things are different now. And, maybe that’s okay. Anyway- I have made so many posts here over the years about minimalism, about all the items I’ve loved and lost, saved and sold. But then, I just.. stopped. I stopped writing, and for a long while, I didn’t call myself a minimalist. The trend died down and all… Read more: Letting Go
• Balearic Islands, Spain – Hotel & BlogOctober 23, 2025
  Actually proud I made it to spain this year after the year I’ve had. I’m travelling here for a week with my mum, and i’m going to try and write this while i’m still here! I know, Alex actually writing in real time instead of six months after the fact? A rarity. Packing List This is everything that I was packing- minus the vans and one of the hats which I travelled in, but not pictured was a black hoodie which I decided to pack last minute. I don’t travel as minimally as I used to,… Read more: Balearic Islands, Spain – Hotel & Blog
• Updated Home Tour 2025October 14, 2025
  It had occurred to me earlier this year that I totally forgot to make an updated home tour post last year. I was not in a good place mentally last February though- to my defence. Anyway, it may be two and a half years later, but I am back. I may make this a yearly thing in May, or a bi-yearly thing (I hope that means once every two years, not twice a year whoops!) The progress in my home is slow, but everything I do, I do by myself and I am proud of the… Read more: Updated Home Tour 2025
