Date 8 April 2014
Author Ilana Estelle
My site, together with my blogs may reflect someone who is completely and one hundred percent focused and in control of life, but the path of life never runs smooth and given what I have had to deal with over the years, this statement is true for me. As I…

Date 6 April 2014
Author Ilana Estelle
Support should be the backbone to any relationship, but what happens when support isn't support but someone’s opinions and their opinions become the most important thing in the relationship?

Perceptions of time

Date 5 April 2014
Author Ilana Estelle
It’s probably a good thing that we don’t consciously think about time all the time. If we thought about time and all the things that could happen within time, we’d spend our lives worrying over every little thing. If we knew as children that time would go quickly, we'd worry that…

A take it easy day

Date 1 April 2014
Author Ilana Estelle
I find it incredibly difficult to switch my thoughts off, but when I’m tired I can’t seem to string two words together, let alone equate and write my feelings down, so today I’m going to take a chill day and do absolutely nothing. With a little bit more sleep, I’m…

Date 29 March 2014
Author Ilana Estelle

Date 22 March 2014
Author Ilana Estelle
I wasn’t taught anything about loyalties or divided loyalties when I was a child, but I was aware of both from a very early age. Being a sensitive child I was aware of most things. I believe though that by nature, a child’s response will always be influenced by their…
