  • Musings

    We as a society (in the west at least) seem to have developed this idea that Mistakes are BAD. I don’t really understand why. Everyone makes mistakes, it’s part of being human. Mistakes themselves are Neutral. It’s how they came about/how you deal with them that’s important. I personally feel that being honest, owning your

  • I’m great in an emergency. I can stay calm, quickly assess what needs to be done, shout like a battlefield Sergeant, and generally sort shit out. I don’t understand why I have this particular skill however since I am completely incapable of organising myself, let alone others, in every day life. As a single mother

  • To each, their own

    Everyone is an individual. Each person, as unique as a snowflake. The things you love, somebody else probably dislikes. The thing you dislike are possibly as dream come true for another. One man’s trash and all that. But who in the Bazillion people we have on this planet likes Red tape? I seem to spend

  • Today’s Random idea.

    Everyone in my life, at some point, has received at least one message from me that starts “I know this is random but…” as my brain throws up questions that I then have to find the answer to or I can’t rest. So today it’s your turn. I know this is random but why don’t

  • Introspection

    When psychology first started up, it’s main tool was introspection – the examination of one’s own mind. This has somewhat fallen by the wayside, not being scientific enough, I suppose. How can you understand the mind of another if you don’t understand your own? I wonder if the real reason we stopped was that it

  • Scattered Petals

    I’ve noticed these posts are all over the place which, to be fair, is rather how my brain operates. Probably doesn’t make it much fun for anyone actually trying to read this though. I’ve found over the years that I have to try to corral my mind by giving it things to work on or

  • Lost Time

    I don’t particularly like living with regrets. I don’t suppose anyone does. My biggest regret though has to be how much time I’ve lost to people who didn’t deserve it. I don’t know if the Autism was part of it, but I was quite a late bloomer when it came to attraction and dating. I

  • I am most definitely Not a child of the Internet age, I missed out by a couple of years. Our school had computers, and we were required to do an ICT course but that mainly centred on using Word, Excel and the Like. We weren’t taught anything about the Internet ( I could be blanking

  • Karma and Guilt

    I find it hard to form meaningful relationships with people. Some have attributed this to my Autism, if you struggle with socialising it’s hard to get to know someone well enough, and let them get to know you, to form a strong attachment. Others say it’s my CPTSD, having huge trust issues isn’t exactly conducive

  • Beauty and the Beast

    Out of all the Disney films of my childhood, I think this one stuck with me the most. Mainly because Belle love books and ever since I’ve wanted a Library like the Beast has in his Castle (and to ride on those rolling ladders!) Sadly, unless I win the lottery, I’m not likely to have
