Why having chronic illness is like being a knight in armour
For many of us with chronic illness it can be difficult to explain how our illness limits us, especially when on the outside we may appear perfectly healthy and able-bodied. There are many useful metaphors and analogies, like Christine Miserandino’s famous Spoon Theory, that help to explain how living with chronic conditions uses up the energy most people use on things they take for granted.

Select your category Don’t you think that the reason you’re not really capable of writing something that will shock or surprise people, is because your life is mediocre? Where do you think the magic comes from? If you’re not living it, if you don’t grind on the edge, what story are you planning to tell? Is it all copies of copies from the head? What about the heart?

Loneliness Through Company
Have you ever found your true Loneliness through company? It's been a while since you've made new friends, gone to new places, mingled, and now is the time. You're at a gathering with some like-minded people who radiate everything you ever wanted from a friend. You're genuinely enjoying these people's company, yet you cannot stop mentioning how long it's been since you've had a genuine connection, how new it is to have fun without second-guessing who you're around, etc. and you ultimately create embarrassment for yourself.

Getting Rest with ADHD
Having ADHD is exhausting. It’s not just insomnia we have to battle with but a constant restlessness in us. It took me 25 years to realize ADHD isn’t just for hyperactive kids.

6 Things I'll never ever regret doing in my life.
Regret happens when we concentrate on mistakes. Life shouldn't be this way, we are not supposed to live life with regrets because everything teaches us a lesson.

Why Identifying With Your Mind Is Destroying You
As I said before in another article: the mind is the greatest tool we have. Our mind is there for us to use it in a specific task and when the task is finished, it leaves us alone and waits for other tasks to arrive.
