Not in the Right Headspace Right Now
Hey everyone đź’ś I know it’s been a little quiet on here lately — I just haven’t been in the right headspace for blogging. Life has been a lot recently, and while I’ve had ideas swirling around, I haven’t quite had the energy to turn them into posts. I’m still here, still writing (even if…

Why We’re Waiting Until 2030 – And Why It’s Perfect for Us
I know what some people are probably thinking. 2030? Isn’t that… a little far away? Yeah. It is. And that’s kind of the point. When Myron and I decided on a date, we didn’t just pluck a random year out of thin air. We thought about where we are now, where we want to be,…

I Think I’m Exactly Where I’m Meant to Be
For most of my life, I wasn’t sure where I fit. I was the kid who didn’t thrive in mainstream school. The teenager with too many labels and too few places to safely just be. The young adult who carried grief, trauma, and diagnoses like heavy bags — sometimes visible, sometimes hidden under a forced…

The Name I Almost Couldn’t Keep
There was a time I couldn’t say my own name. Not out loud. Not in writing. Not even in my head without a spike of panic. It wasn’t just “I don’t like it” — it was a full-blown phobia. Seeing it, hearing it, being it made me feel weirdly detached from myself. Like I was…

The Next Five Years: Big Changes, Bigger Dreams
If you told teenage me that by 2029 I’d be married, living with the love of my life, and finally having the surgery I’ve waited years for, she probably would’ve laughed and then gone back to fangirling over JLS and obsessively tweaking her Bebo profile. But here I am — thirty-something, engaged to my very…

💜 Demisexual and Aceflux? Yep, That’s Me.
So… I’ve been sitting with this for a while, and I think I’ve finally found the words:I’m demisexual and aceflux — and honestly, it explains so much. Let’s break it down.I’m demisexual, which means I don’t experience sexual attraction unless there’s a deep emotional connection. I’m not wired for quick flings or instant “chemistry.” It’s…

Online Friends Are Real Friends
Because not everyone finds their people at school gates or in local cafĂ©s — and that’s okay. I used to wonder if online friendships were “less real” than in-person ones. I think we all internalise that idea at some point — that unless you’ve sat next to someone or hugged them or popped round for…

From Pretend Friends to Real Love: Why Neurodivergent Love Just Hits Different
When I was younger, people pretended to be my friend. The boys made it clear they didn’t like me. The girls acted like they did — until I wasn’t useful anymore. They smiled to my face and rolled their eyes behind my back. I spent a lot of time wondering what I’d done wrong. Was…
