“Since it is so likely that children will meet cruel enemies, let them at least have heard of brave knights and heroic courage.”

C.S Lewis

This part of my site is dedicated to stories — both real and imagined.

Stories are windows into different realities. As humans, we might have theory of mind — the ability to recognise that others have thoughts, beliefs, and desires — but often we get caught up in the raw manuscript of our own dramatic tale.

Storytelling helps us learn, reflect, and make sense of being human. It’s a way to explore other perspectives, challenge our assumptions, and, hopefully, rewrite our own stories — inspiring us to be heroes worth rooting for.

From the tales I was read as a child, to those I found myself, and now the ones I read to my own children, stories have shaped who I am. I don’t believe we ever really grow up — we just grow more slowly. Stories help us remember who we are, and who we might still become: capable of kindness, self-awareness, and change. They also reflect the darker parts we all struggle with — fear, anger, complacency — and remind us of what can happen when we stop fighting our personal battles.
