To Begin...

 

One of the definitions of a survivor in the English Cambridge dictionary is a person who continues living their life successfully despite experiencing difficulties. I created this blog to hopefully create a safe space to share my personal experiences and life lessons with others in hope to connect with those who have had similar experiences or for those who are currently struggling with some of the issues that this blog will be about. I'm starting this blog simply to share, but also to raise awareness. 

As I sit here typing, my 6-month-old Kitten is sitting on my lap and I am so content with the person I have become despite my struggles. 

As a neurodivergent person who has experienced all types of abuse during a fourteen-year long friendship, whilst simultaneously attempting to escape from my alcoholic family home, only to realise I am on the autistic spectrum and have been masking my whole life. 

Unfortunately, I must also admit that I have not always been privileged enough to have a home. Being homeless at a very young age, couch surfing with my whole family and sleeping in random people’s homes just to find shelter has definitely had a negative impact on my life.

I have thought about writing this blog for a long time and it has taken a lot of courage to share my personal life experiences with others. I view this as part of my healing process and hope it can inspire others to share their stories. 😊
