I wish it need not have happened in my time, said Frodo. So do I, said Gandalf, and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.

welcome.

we’re all existential crisis-havers here.


who is ‘we’?

That would be you and me: Caitlin Evans, a trainee therapist, writer and procrastinator perfectionist.

I ask the big questions here, like: what is it all for? And I give the big answers too, like: I really don’t know.

In such times as these, fuelled by consumerism and the cult of busy, it’s hard to pull away from the scripts that society gives us and seek our own path.

I hope for this to be a still, mindful corner of the internet for you and me, where we can work out what the hell we want to do with the time given to us.

Here, I share everything I’ve learned - and, crucially, am still learning - about mental health, stillness and embracing the unknowable.
