“You’re overreacting, it’s not that big of a deal” - all phrases I’ve heard most of my life. Fast forward, it turns out I'm autistic. If you’re newly diagnosed or want to know more about an autism diagnosis as an adult, this is for you.

As an autistic person, I understand firsthand that traveling can be both exciting and challenging. From checklists to research - with this guide, you’ll be ready for anything on your next trip.

From a young age we are taught that if we can’t accomplish something by ourselves, we can ask for help. So why is so hard to ask for help when it comes to our mental health?

I joined Pinterest a couple of weeks back. I’m not sure why I never bothered to try it before but I think a part of me always felt using it was a little uncreative. Needless to say, that mentality ain’t it.

“Fake it till you make it” has always been a weird concept to me. When I heard it last week, I started thinking. Is that what we’re doing? but what if people find out? Wouldn’t they think I’m a fraud?

I never paid too much attention to horoscopes and zodiac signs. However, after coming across a couple of Instagram accounts that pretty accurately described my personality, I was intrigued. ..

Nostalgia - a sentimental longing or wistful affection for a period in the past. I’m sure we’ve all experienced it. A joyful feeling when an old song comes on, when you walk past your old neighborhood or when you come across a movie you used to watch as a kid. But what happens when we suddenly feel like it’s all slipping away?

It’s happened – the big 3 0, or the moment that kids start calling you ma’am on Tik Tok. As I’m trying to focus on new beginnings, I catch myself going more toward the sheer blind panic of things.

Each year on December 31st, we think about our New Year’s resolutions - goals and other accomplishments that we set for ourselves for the New Year. But why wait ‘till then?

Last Friday I went to a house party and started talking to the host. He proudly started telling me that he works as a MC at one of those hip and trendy clubs in Amsterdam, you know the ones where they wear hats and Iron Maiden t-shirts while drinking Gin Tonic.

Back in school I had to edit pictures after a photoshoot. I was sitting with my friend behind the computer while Photoshop was starting up. “Do you know how this works?” I ask her – “I only know how to give myself bigger boobs…” – she replies.

Nothing in life is certain, right? So why do we live like it is? We make decisions and hold on to them because that is what we thought was best at the time, and after we are reminded yet again of the absence of certainty, all we are left with is regret.

Every person begins the New Year with resolutions. Even if you’re not one of those people that makes a list and posts “New Year, New Me” on your socials, we all think of changing something about ourselves.

Christmas, is the time of year when you get together, share a meal, and catch up. Unfortunately for some people, it’s also the time when you have to explain why there is no man sitting next to you – not only to your mom, but to all your relatives.

Job interviews, you can’t have a job without one. Unless you know people that will automatically hand you one. If you are one of those people, then this post isn’t for you. Who is this post for, then you might wonder?
