Hey, I’m Bron.
Welcome to Blogging Goodbye to Butterflies!
I’m a personal essayist writing about personal growth, gratitude, and living gently with anxiety. I write about small moments of bravery and what it means to keep growing and evolving — without striving for perfection.
You’ve stumbled upon my online journal. Here, I’ve written honestly and openly since the age of 19, taking life one chapter at a time. In earlier chapters, I wrote about trying to overcome my anxiety. These days, I’m learning to make peace with the butterflies and accept all that comes with them.
Whether you’re new here or you’ve been here for a while now, I hope you’ll enjoy reading. Start in the here and now, or browse the archives and whatever you read, I hope it brings you comfort.

You’ll find me out walking, come rain or shine, reading with a coffee nearby, or at home with my husband-to-be and our beautiful cats. Willow and Mambo are only a few months old in this picture! They’re now nearly five and their purrs and cuddles keep me calm and grounded every day.

Life lately: Wedding Plans, Warm Evenings and Writer’s Block
I just wrote the words ‘my wedding is in June 2027’ in an email and nearly happy cried whilst sat in the middle of a Costa coffee shop with a chicken fajita wrap on the go. Our plans have really come together since I last wrote – I found THE dress, we’ve chosen a caterer…
