I have seen more and more videos on YouTube, blog posts, articles, social media stuff, and everything in between, gatekeeping society from the most marginalized. We see how reproductive health takes a step back in the US. We see how LGBTQ+ people are threatened, and how racism has grown rampant lately. We also see a…

Content warning: This post includes the topics of sexual assault, medical conditions, childhood trauma, mental illness, physical trauma response, and suicide. I’m disabled in more than one way. I have autism, and I also have a physical disability and illness called Rheumatoid Arthritis, which is an autoimmune illness that primarily affects the joints in the body…

Content warning: non-graphic discussions of religious abuse, sexual abuse, and self-harm. When religion – especially Christianity and other Abrahamic religions – seems like a socially accepted act of self-harm. I know this is a big thought, a big claim, but hear me out. In this essay, I will explain why religion sometimes sounds like self-harming to…

A few days ago I didn’t now what to do. What to dive into with heart and soul next year (studies). I’ve tried many things; art school was too expensive, open university too fast-paced and other topics I first was obsessed with was no longer interesting anymore. I started to think I was burned out…

I have finally built my Notion database for 2025!

So I decided that I wanted to change my route of study again. I started with philosophy, changed to counseling psychology in an Open Degree, and now I’m applying for a degree in Illustration instead. It’s like my brain can’t focus, but now I think I’ve finally “found a home of study”. Because my dream…

I have changed my qualifications from Classical studies and Philosophy to an Open Degree in Psychology and Language studies. I wanted to do something I’m more familiar with. I’m studying at Open University, and I like it so far, although I’m in the first stage of my bachelor’s. Since my education was delayed due to…

I need to quit university, I’m close to burnout and I can’t do this anymore. And you know what? That’s okay! Not okay to be close to burnout of course, but to quit! I think we should normalize quitting and changing our minds because we shouldn’t be required to be tied to something just because…
