Feb. 26, 2025 / Chronic pain+ Disability

Recovery and how to begin with your journey

Feb. 10, 2025 / Mental health

If you want to change your present symptoms, behaviours and beliefs for the better then recovery is for you. In the dictionary, recovery is described as restoration to a former or better condition.

Little reading update 📚 I’ve not been reading as Little reading update 📚

I’ve not been reading as much as I normally would and I guess I’m in a “reading slump” but the books I have read have had a big impact on me  and that’s all I can ask for. 

Just started ~ private rites 
Amazing prose so far and tells the story of queer sisters all dealing with trauma reuniting after their father’s death set in a flooded world due to climate crisis. This book has been compared to king Lear. 

Just finished ~ reservoir bitches 
A brutal short story collection following several different women in Mexico highlighting just how hard and violent life is in the country. 

Finished and can’t stop thinking about ~  blessings
A beautiful debut that feels like watching moonlight for the first time,  sad and reflective about a queer boy who is sent away to boarding school by his father in Nigeria when his sexuality is discovered
