I’m not an introvert. I do enjoy socialising. I like going places, and meeting people. I like exploring new places, making new friends. I like to talking to others, even at meetings and parties. I battle my mind to go, and it’s usually worth it. I get in the zone, forget my mind for a… Continue reading Quiet Time

Home for Creativity
Last night, we went to something wonderful. My boyfriend took me to this Doctor Who show, at a theatre in London. I wasn’t sure what to expect. And being led into a dark basement didn’t help my nerves. But my boyfriend held my hand, and I’m glad we went inside. We were led into this… Continue reading Home for Creativity

Now she’s gone, when I dance with my other half, I think of her, imagine her doing the… Continue reading Loving Dancing

He was afraid of the world, and pretty much everything in it. All of the things I was back then. I saw him as a friend, someone who… Continue reading Crying at The Tigger Movie

For the past four years, I have struggled with the festive season. I first got diagnosed with the visual impairment in 2017, just before Christmas. It was a horrible time, one of the worst periods of depression I’ve ever experienced, made worse by the cheerful season. The years after were a little better, but still… Continue reading A Better Year
