Lots of good things have been happening recently since we moved house. I’m just over a week free from smoking tobacco, sugar, and ultra-processed foods — sweets and treats included. It’s safe to say that comfort eating was my biggest addiction in life — eating my feelings with sugar, processed...

The past few days have been days of inner turmoil, including a fairly intense depression spike. I felt I needed something to at least somewhat directly counter the dense darkness. I remembered early on in my meditation journey, I ran into a technique called Smile Meditation, or Inner Smile. So I...

Table, they are all laid out. Ligjts off flashes like a book memories going by clicking. Why DIDNT HE JUST END ME? Get rid of me. Devour me. A gently bite. A piece of my neck. Enough to draw blood. Sucking, drinking. He enjoys every second. What even are you? Am I just your play thing? Your...

As I lie awake unable to sleep. Pain dripping over the right side of my body. I say dripping because it feels like my body has been drenched in a vat of corroded battery acid. You know that burning feeling your skin gets when you touch it? The pain that goes to your bone if you hang onto it...

🌈 What Neurodiversity Means to Me Neurodiversity isn’t just a concept I believe in—it’s the lens through which I now see the world. It’s the rhythm of my son’s footsteps as he paces to self-soothe. It’s the way he lines up his toys with precision, creating order in a world that often feels...

Lay awake. Head pounding from the pressurr.in my brain. Unable to sleep. A tilt of my head and the pressure send a violent pain through my head and a black cloud into my eyes. What to watch? For some reason I find comfort in watching shows on serial killers. Maybe atleast I escaped my predator...

My brother is having a procedure to see if the sepsis spread to his heart. And he is getting his leg amputated. Please please please pray for him. Body, mind, and soul. Very very much so. I am so distraught. Devastated. I'm very fragile right now, the slightest little bump would shatter me. I just want him to live and to be healthy in every way.
