Intimacy
Since sharing what happened to me on my last post I’ve been thinking about how to follow up from there. I’ve thought about the topic of intimacy before but never written it down so going to have a go now. For the longest time, intimacy to me was just related to sex and I hated… Continue reading Intimacy

Firstly i don’t think I’ve written an actual blog page post for almost a year, so if you are here and reading this, hello, and thank you for taking the time - it means the… Continue reading Comparison
LOCKDOWN

I sometimes wonder if the fact people stare at me so much now is karma. Day to day it’s not that… Continue reading O – Ogle

I want to stress that everything mentioned is my own opinion and based on my own experience, thoughts and I don’t necessarily think I am right or what I think is the best, it’s just how… Continue reading L – Labels
K – Kayaking
I mentioned in a previous instagram post that before travelling, apart from sleeping and toddling around the house I didn’t do anything at all without my splints on. As our trip went on my comfort zone became smaller and further out of sight. Staying in Cat Ba, Vietnam, we did a day boat trip around… Continue reading K – Kayaking
