Join me on my journey of less self-hatin' and more educatin'. Part time walker, part time roller – full time me.
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
WOWOWOWWWW WHAT A TIME TO BE A BACKPACKERR EH! So where do I even start. Life update maybe: things were starting to settle over here in Oz. I have a job - it’s a little far away but was manageable, then Jenny started there too which made it a lot more bearable. There are some… Continue reading Life Update & COVIDDDD
I have 13 scars physically on my body. Two from Achilles lengthening above my heel, one from a nerve removal vertically up my ankle/leg, one on each foot/across my ankle from my triple arthrodesis fusion, one on my right big toe from getting my toe fused. Moving up, I have a scar from my bum… Continue reading S – Scars

I feel really lucky when it comes to pain because I have a relatively high tolerance and do get periods of life that my pain levels are low. I’m absolutely… Continue reading P – Pain Management
When I was a bairn I was always falling over myself staring at people. Literally got told off all the time for watching people everywhere; in the supermarket, swimming baths, at the park, everywhere. 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

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

This week I was reunited with an ol’ buddy ol’ pal in the form… Continue reading Bittersweet Blue Badge BBZ
Fast approaching is my beaut lil Mama’s 5th anniversary - 26th October. And tbqh this entire lead up to the date, which on the calendar is just another day feels like the annual trudge through quicksand. While reflecting enough that writing this is beneficial for me, I am also going to include a few steps/things… Continue reading Good Grief + Give Yourself A Break
KING OF THE SANDCASTLES In the not too distant future my baby bro embarks on the journey of a lifetime to the other side of the world (TODAY!!) He’s one upping me and venturing off by himself and as much as it terrifies me now the shoe is on the other foot, I am so… Continue reading 10JQKA♥️
Nusa Penida ;; possibly one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been, undoubtedly THE hottest place I’ve ever been. Island life in splints is a bit of a logistical nightmare to say the least, but it’s something that with a few Balinese men and a whole lotta team spirit is a hurdle I/we are… Continue reading Nusa Penida
SPLINT UP, LOOK SHARP
