Micropigs, Attack Geese, and Remembering Who I Am

I went to a farm animal rescue, and it gave me a bit of an epiphany. There's nothing like hanging out with 40 pigs and an alpaca to remind you who you are!

Hi there, I'm Elena. I'm a social media manager by day and a fiction writer, artist and blogger by night. I write about renovating and furnishing my first home, current affairs, my rescue pets and navigating an increasingly scary modern world. 

Loved every minute of my first trip abroad with @slim4588 - here’s to many more adventures, many more animal pals and many more Pokémon gyms claimed for Team Mystic. ✈️
Meet Ralph. Technically he is @slim4588 ‘s babby cat but he lives with me and his cat brother and sister. He’s 9 weeks, and he’s perfect. #cat #kitten #cute #catstagram #petstagram #kittensofinsta
In this house we show compassion to all animals, not just pets and mammals. This is my butterpal who was super sad and floppy. A bit of TLC, some shelter and some watered down fruit syrup got him on his way. That and getting all the tree sap off his wings. #butterfly #peacockbutterfly #summer #garden #insect #animalrescue #nature #conservation
Here is a nervous onion for @nervous_onion. I’m a bad instagram user, it’s true. After six(ish) months as a full-time social media professional I’ve kind of fallen out of love with it all - it’s a bit like eating the same meal every day. Eventually you’re bound to get a bit sick of it, no matter how much you liked it before. I think I’ve got to just wing it. I’m a human, not a brand, who cares if it’s a mess? These onions are cute and I drew them. That’s the explanation. That’s the context. Bingo bango. #illustration #drawing #vegetable #onion #cartoon #iforgottocolourinthesproutontheleft #iamnotperfectmom
New phone, who dis? This front-camera portrait mode makes my wonky face look half decent, half pretentious.
A lunch date with my notebook was long, long overdue. I’m running behind on #maymyselfandi after a busy and unusual week so it’s been a nice change to just sit still and write. I’m currently deciding whether it would be weird to ask them to box up the fries so I can finish them later... waste not, want not. #poet #writing #amwriting #poetry #lunch #shakshuka #fries
