ADHD Medication, Wellbeing, and the Weight of Stigma
Writing about medication still feels exposed. Not because it is controversial in a medical sense, but because it touches something deeply personal: the idea that needing support somehow reflects a personal failure. I want to start clearly and responsibly. I am not a doctor, not a psychiatrist and not a medical professional. This is not…

Minimalism Isn’t Aesthetic—It’s Nervous System Care
For a long time, I thought minimalism was about taste. The right shade of beige, clean lines, curated objects. Something sleek, tidy, and slightly out of reach.

There’s a kind of loneliness that isn’t loud. It doesn’t always look like isolation. Sometimes it’s just the slow, quiet ache of feeling misunderstood.

Queerness & Neurodiversity: When the World Doesn’t Fit, We Create Our Own
I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to move through the world as both queer and neurodivergent. Not in the sense of fitting into neat definitions, but more like: what happens when your brain and your identity both push against the so-called “norm”? Spoiler: it’s exhausting.
