I don't know if other people with Fibromyalgia experience this particular frustration, but I thought I'd talk about it, as it's something I've noticed over the years: The frequency in which I change clothes - in a single day.

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2009. I was 19. I had dreams, hopes - honestly, I still have them, much hasn't really changed in the past 16 years in regards to my dreams of having a family of my own, but, I have grown stronger, and come to accept and love myself and that journey I would not change. Chronic pain can be crippling....

So, I want to tell you all a little story about a time when computers weren't really used for art or graphic design, and it was really strange for anyone even comprehend that they could or would be used in the magnitude that they are now.

I've been following a bit of a news story the last few days - it's the Brooke Baking Scandal, at least, that's what I've come to call it in my head. Now, I'm not on TicTok, so I don't know anything about TicTok chiefs or TicTok Bakers - but I do love Cookbooks and Baking Books. I love collecting them.

Around this time, every year, I write an email to myself and schedule it to arrive sometime in April, usually after my birthday.

These past couple of days I've really had to knuckle down and push past a fear barrier of mine. The new gym I've been attending has been a bit busier over the school holidays/Easter break, and I don't deal well with - er - people.

Thirty-Six is a bit of a daunting number, I'll be honest. It's closer to forty than I'm overly comfortable being, and that's not to say...

Once upon a time, here in Adelaide there was a place called Glenside Hospital. I can remember walking it's decrepit, depressing halls...

When I was a little girl there was a prayer I prayed – over and over in my journals. I prayed that God would teach me to live a life learnin

But, I dolled myself up all pretty like, squared my shoulders, and marched through those doors, determined to find my seat!

Television kinda bores me. I've actually been going back and watching Law and Order from the year 2000. That's like a time machine.

Today I received my hearing aids. To be honest, I was a bit skeptical about it all. Was my hearing really that bad? Was it really--

Last night I was an observer to a really great sci-fi story. Fully fleshed out characters, settings and plot all rolled into a dream.

Here is something I have been pondering the past few days. I am one of those people who can watch movies and tv-shows repeatedly...

Fibromyalgia is very deceptive. Sometimes I feel great - that I could take on the world, that I'm finally recovered....

So a problem that actively arises from trying to remove oneself from the zeitgeist of the "online world" is that I don't get every side...

I'm not sure if people really believe me when I tell them I've been writing the same story since I was a "little girl." But I have.
