Welcome to my Journal Blog!

Writing is something I am rather obsessed over, to the point where I have several blogs now, and a lot of the time I find myself writing reflections that don't really belong in the "articles", "story", or "poetry" category, as far as I can tell... Possibly most of my writings end up right here: in the "journal" category, so I've finally decided to just make a blog for these writings, where they can roam free!

You'll notice that they still have their own subcategories, but in my opinion, all of these can be categorised more along the lines of journal-ish observations/experiences/explorations, and so I am very happy to call this their new home!

If anything on this more personal blog of mine resonates with you, I am very happy to hear it!

Thanks for reading!

What I Write

• 📔 Journalling: my ongoing healing from CPTSD from abuse, and my experiences as an exvangelical apostate having transitioned out of the cult movement was raised in, as well as my experiences of being ASD, ADHD, nonbinary, polyamorous, experienced in (and opinionated about) kink scenes, and somewhere on the demi/ace spectrum.
  

• Also a 📚 Story-like section, for true moments that are not quite stories. For actual stories, check out my 📚 Story Blog
  

• 👁️‍🗨️ Reflections, “Discussion Fuel”, Reactions and Commentaries: commenting on perspectives and trends I've observed in media, popular culture and the current overton window of global sociopolitics in which we as society find ourselves.
  
  My lived experiences intersect with a lot of "not the norm" in society, but I have found many of them to be more relatable to "the mainstream" than one may think, and the experience of not fitting in with what is often cis-heteronormative, monogamous, allosexual and neurotypical society has to me tended to shed light on a lot of things that those who do fit into such societies tend not to notice.
  
  To me as someone with a software background, I compare this to how "nobody notices when things are going well, only when they are broken". Thus, systems which work for a lot of people tend to have their glaring flaws unrecognised, until someone for whom the system does not work points them out.
  
  Hence I have an urge to speak out on things which for me, with my own experiences, often feel frustratingly obvious and ever-present, but for many people are completely outside of the realm of what they consciously have to engage with, possibly ever.
