The north east is wild, today I drove through a place called North Bitchburn… not only is that a mental name but it also implies that there’s a south, east and west bitchburn too

For the first time in my life, I don’t have a long term plan. It’s equal parts liberating and terrifying.

therapist: and what do we do when we’re feeling overwhelmed?

me: accidentally alienate myself from loved ones by not answering their text messages

therapist: …no

@la_wolfendale Don’t 🥲 it’s my first time missing it ever I could cry

[Ash ☀️ @ashpainix]

the fact that 8 year old me used to think I'd be married, have kids and own my own house by 25 is LAUGHABLE

My first TT and by extension my first birthday away from home is harder than I thought it would be 🤦🏻‍♀️

Being on the stroke ward has made me truly realise how important visiting at hospitals is, not just for the massively positive impact it can have on recovery but also for the little things like finding out how a person with communication difficulties likes their cuppa ☕️
