Running away, in a good way

I've made an impulsive decision to run away to Vancouver, but I really do think it will be good for me. The mountains and slower pace of life are what I need right now.

It's been a very long time since I wrote here, probably a symptom of the way I've been feeling. I've been avoiding some things and trying to distract myself.

Since finding out I’m Autistic half way through 2022, I’ve been thinking a lot about unmasking and reconciling what that means for my identity.

It’s been just over a year since I started this website and I had every intention of writing more often. Things have changed and I think these posts are going to be more like journal entries than proper articles.

It’s kind of weird for me to share this, but this is a personal read about a recent discovery and how it’s impacted me. It may change your perception of me as a person, but hopefully not in a negative way.

Dead already?

It’s been a full month since I last posted. I started this in the hopes of getting me writing, and it worked to some degree. There’s just been a lot going on this last month!

Thoughts on therapy

In the spirit of being more open, I’m continuing the conversation about therapy. Why and how I got started, and how it’s been so far. Maybe it will be helpful if you’ve been thinking about starting therapy yourself.

An introduction

Who are you? What is this? Wtf am I reading? Hopefully I can answer some of those questions in this post. This is a new dedicated space for my writing, something I haven’t had for a long time. Enjoy your stay!
