🎬 Where It All Began: My Movie Camp Story
Sometimes the biggest chapters in our lives start quietly. With a last-minute decision. A friend’s suggestion. A twist you never saw coming. For me, it started with Movie Camp. I hadn’t even planned to go. My best friend Sadie — who I miss every single day — was going, and I wanted to be with…

🎬 From Movie Camp to Marriage: My Love Story with Myron
Some stories don’t start with fireworks or grand gestures.Some start with awkward takes, shaky camera shots, and two teenagers bonding over short films at Movie Camp. That’s how it began for me and Myron — in 2010, making hilarious mini-movies and quietly growing close in between scenes. There was something about him — his humour,…

Why Amber and Jonas Has My Heart
Sometimes a story sneaks up on you. You don’t plan it, you don’t sit down with a detailed outline — it just arrives, full of feeling, waiting to be written. That’s what happened with Amber and Jonas. It actually started in the most unexpected way: as a Basil Brush fanfic when I was a teenager.…

đź’« Why I Still Believe in Amber and Jonas (+ A Word from Daisy)
You’d think after writing two books in a series, I’d feel like a Proper Author. You’d think I’d be shouting about them from the rooftops, basking in five-star reviews and watching the sales roll in. Spoiler alert: I’m not.In fact, some days I wonder if anyone’s even reading them. And on those days, the question…

Dear 18-Year-Old Me: What I Wish I’d Known About Autism, Love, and Life
Hey you, Yeah, you — 18, confused, exhausted, and convinced the best of life has already passed you by. I wish I could sit across from you right now, cuppa in hand, and tell you what I know now. There’s so much I want you to hear — so many lies you’ve been fed about…

✨ The Magazine That Almost Was ✨
A little love letter to 18-year-old me (and a bit of closure, too) When I was 18, I created a magazine about autism for my final major project in art and design. It had everything — articles, interviews, artwork, passion. It wasn’t just a college project. It was me pouring my heart out onto the…

Why I Was Scared… And Why I’m So Glad I Said Yes
When Myron first asked me out, I was terrified. Not because I didn’t like him — quite the opposite. That’s what made it so scary. Something in me froze. My brain went into full-on panic mode: What if it all goes wrong? What if I mess this up? What if I get hurt again? Looking…

🎬 If Amber and Jonas Was a Movie…
Okay, hear me out. I know it’s a big, wild dream — but sometimes I find myself daydreaming about what it would be like if the Amber and Jonas books were turned into a film. Or even better… a series. Something raw, real, and full of the weirdly specific chaos that follows Amber, Jonas, Daisy…

🌸 “I Think I’m Demisexual”: Figuring It Out, One Feeling at a Time
*Sighs* So… this post has been a long time coming. Like, sitting-at-the-back-of-my-brain-for-years kind of long. But recently, something clicked. Something shifted. And I think I’m finally ready to say it out loud: I think I’m demisexual. Yep. Demisexual. Part of the asexual spectrum (Aspec). Not broken, not cold, not prudish — just me. For those…

Today, I Watched Superman With Mine
There’s something a little surreal about watching a superhero movie when you’re sitting next to your own. Myron — my real-life Superman. No cape, no laser eyes, just quiet strength, fierce love, and that smile that makes everything feel okay. We saw Superman together today, and while the action was brilliant and the visuals were…
