✨ Dreams, Goals, and the Life I’m Building

Sometimes I get so caught up in day-to-day stuff — the spirals, the nostalgia dives, the Daisy chaos — that I forget to step back and ask myself what I actually want. Not what people expect from me, or what I “should” be doing at a certain age. Just… what I want.

So here it is. The dream list. The things I’m working towards. Some are obvious. Some feel far away. But all of them are mine.

💍 Get Married (Obviously)

I mean, have you met me? Of course getting married is top of the list.
We’ve set the date: 31st August 2030. It feels surreal and magical and right.
There won’t be bridesmaids. There will be love, laughter, and probably a bit of chaos.
It’ll be our day — not Pinterest-perfect, but perfect for us.

🏡 Move in with Myron (Also Obviously)

We’ve been through a lot, Myron and I.
From Movie Camp to breaking up, from reconnecting to re-committing.
And now, I just want the simple joy of living together.
Shared meals, shared chores, shared YouTube channel, shared lives.
(Maybe not shared Mario Kart victories though — he’s going down.)

📚 Get Traditionally Published

This one’s the big, scary, soul-baring goal.
I want to hold a book in my hands and know that I wrote it and someone believed in it enough to publish it.
I want Daisy’s chaos in bookstores. I want Amber and Jonas on shelves.
And yeah, I want my memoir — My Crazy Life — to sit proudly in the “Autism” section.
Because I have a story to tell. And it deserves to be heard.

✈️ Travel a Bit

I don’t need round-the-world adventures.
But I want to see more. Feel more. Live more.
Whether that’s a nostalgia-fuelled weekend in Blackpool, a beach break with Myron, or just a sensory-safe trip to somewhere new.
Disability-friendly, chaos-controlled — but memory-making all the same.

🌈 Live a Happy Life

That’s it, really.
I want to live a life where I can be me.
Where joy isn’t just a milestone but a daily thing — in a song, in a stim, in a cuddle, in a victory on Rainbow Road.
Where I’m not just surviving… I’m glowing.

These dreams? They’re not just wishful thinking. They’re plans in progress.
And even when things feel hard — when I spiral or doubt myself — they remind me what I’m moving toward.

One step at a time. One post at a time. One dream closer to reality.
