Notes: Real Journeys, Honest Voices
Welcome to Notes — the blog from The Not There Yet Project.
Here you’ll find honest, unpolished stories from people in Manchester, across the UK, and beyond — seekers, solopreneurs, creatives, and change makers.
These are voices from those balancing work and wellbeing, navigating identity, chasing joy, and building lives that feel real. Not lost. Not arrived. Just not there yet.
Whether you’re in Manchester, London, or anywhere searching for purpose and belonging, Notes is your space to pause, reflect, and see yourself in the stories of others.
