How to heal fully and properly.
Visibility, Timing, and Readiness
Visibility is often treated as a reward, something earned through talent, effort, or persistence. It is framed as the natural next step once someone has something worthwhile to offer. But visibility is not neutral, and it is not automatically benevolent. Being seen amplifies everything at once: strengths, weaknesses, unfinished edges, unresolved wounds, and untested convictions. Once that amplification begins, there is no way to selectively mute what is not ready.

When You Can’t Find The Sunshine, Be The Sunshine. Content Warning.
When you begin your healing journey, it's never easy. I've been working on mine since March 8th, 2022, the day I escaped domestic violence. Although it's hard to stay on the healing path sometimes, it's all worth it and was supposed to happen. I have learned new things about myself that I love while also having to face things about myself that made me uncomfortable at first. Some of the past things I did, I started to see how they were not actually good or ok. You start to observe things from a different perspective and learn to respond instead of react. The pain you experience forces you to grow in ways comfort never could. You begin to see things that were right in front of your eyes the whole time, both good and bad.

Living Your Truth
Recently, I watched a television show in which first-graders were discussing their truth. They were saying unbelievable things about discovering and recognizing their truth. They also emphasized what their truth was. They seemed to be confident about what they were saying. The six-year-old boys and girls were talking about the same things that are heard in adult conversations about their orientation.

The Quiet Side Hustle That Changed Everything
Sophie was the kind of person no one noticed. At 27, she worked a steady office job, arrived on time, left on time, and blended perfectly into the background. She didn’t complain loudly, didn’t boast about big dreams, and didn’t post motivational quotes online. To most people, Sophie’s life looked ordinary... safe, predictable, and unremarkable.

Rethinking Fulfilment: Navigating the Quarter-Life Questions
A psychologist once spent ages trying to convince me that the so-called quarter-life crisis is nothing more than a myth. At first, I pushed back hard against this idea, because it felt like a dismissal of the very real challenges so many of us face in our twenties. But over time, I began to see another perspective: denying its existence often seems like a way for people to make you question your own sense of direction—sometimes to reassure themselves, other times because there’s profit in it. Just look at the endless self-help books and seminars aimed at young adults, all promising fixes for the quarter-life crisis and selling pricey solutions that rarely get to the heart of what’s actually troubling us.

Disabled, Not Difficult
There is a moment that happens quietly, almost invisibly. It appears in hesitation. In the pause before asking for a chair. In the careful calculation before explaining why I cannot stand for long, why I need to leave early, why I cannot simply push through.
