Here is your permission to feel shit

So many people tell you “at least you’re not…./ or at least you’ve got….” Fuck em! If you feel rubbish, feel rubbish! You’ve probably heard the hypothetical tale of that one poor person in the world that actually has it worse than everyone else. I would counter that somewhat obnoxiously…

Where am I supposed to put my dirty washing?

Thoughts when you don’t have a home. When you haven’t got a place to call home, how do you manage your belongings? If you’re lucky enough to stay in the same room for a week I suppose a pile in the corner will suffice. If you’re still living your regular…

You never get a second chance to make a first impression

I know there’s been studies done on this. I started to wonder who the audience was that they studied. I wondered if it is was neurotypical, corporate-types.
