To just be
I don’t understand the obsession with getting rich. Yes, I know we need money to live on this planet, but we don’t need to be rich. I don’t like the stock market or what it stands for. People who invest in stocks and shares are making their money from exploitation…
Discovering my brain is a blessing
My brain was not built for the current times, it was built to function in a time approximately 100 years ago, which is why I can’t function in this era. I can’t hold down a job, maintain a home and raise a family – at the same time. I barely…
I did it again
I’ve had a history of wanting to make a change in a specific area, thinking about what the end of the process would be like then acquiring what I need to make it happen, before I’ve taken the first steps of sitting down and thinking about it. My ADHD self…

Let’s talk about poop, baby
Did you know there is a correct way to poop? From when to go, how often, how long it should take, what the poop itself should be like – all of it has a correctness that is restricted and if you don’t meet all of these points, you clearly aren’t…
So long and thanks for all the fish
I loved the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy series, I read all five books in the trilogy – and if you know the books, you know what I said makes sense. This blog entry isn’t about Douglas Adams or the books, rather it’s about the scene when those words are…
