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...
I saw everyone at thanksgiving. My siblings. The first time since my uncles funeral in April. Which was when I lost my speech, started talking gibberish for two month and started using a walker from the brain injury. My siblings have no asked nor have the seen me sinc ethen. My husband feels...
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...

🌈 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...

So, on the way to the bus stop, I threw up and a lot of it got on my work shirt, but I did not have time to go back home to change it. Then my bus was 20 minutes late - over half an hour of standing in the drenching rain. I am wearing my jacket zipped up at the office to hide the state of my shirt. This is not a great morning.
