Amsterdam's Addiction To Lust
It will either make me mad or proud. Anticipating my upcoming trip to Amsterdam, I knew what made it most famous. Although this was not the reason for my flight to the city, it was something I was curious to see with my own eyes. I have always thought I was quite a progressive person - happily able to speak about sex with ease and interest. I adore lingerie and feeling sexy, fascinated with sexual identities and the portrayal of sex in art. Amsterdam being unashamed in its sexual nature, I believed I might actually enjoy the red-tinted side of the city. That walking up and down the streets with women free to work in an industry mostly illegal - that this act of legalisation would ensure their safety and ethical treatment.

Roads
Introduction Every picture here is from walks I have made and roads that I have seen. Often they are the only sign of human habitation, and I wonder why they were built, obviously to connect two places, but when you are on these roads, or when I am, lots of stories come to mind taking me into some magical mythical worlds although the reality may be a lot more mundane.

Finding Beauty In Seville When The Agenda Falls Through
It was a simple question. How was Seville? Colleagues, family, seemingly everybody asked me this question upon my return - as is expected. Though, I could not answer it so simply. The city was gorgeous - familiar yet otherworldly with its warm bulbs that differed from the stark and harsh light of London. Why could I not say that? Instead, I stuttered and stumbled over my words. It would appear I had been disappointed by my visit. I was not, not at all. When somebody embarks outside of their home, there is a societal expectation to return with feedback - with stories and opinions. The landmarks that we see in magazines and on social media, how were they up close? Yes, I saw many of these famous locations. Though, it was not those experiences that imprinted on my memory. It was the space in between the steps I took towards those points on the map that I treasure. The gaps in between words of a beautiful sentence that make your mind wander and think about life a bit more. Seville was gorgeous, yes. But our mind controls our eyes. As well as our heart and soul. Our grief, hope, pain and love. It is my poetry that saw Seville in a way that others may not understand. The way I see life, it is not so easy to explain. This is why I write. So, I will write.
