After three weeks of being away from my job due to a dislocated kneecap, I’m finally back to work, though my knee is still on the slow road to a full recovery. Walking has been a pain some days and I can barely stay on my feet by the time I get back home. I’ve …
Do Not Be Discouraged By the Single or Double Digits

When In Doubt, Watch Fellowship Of the Ring
This is week three of being off work because of a twisted leg. I finally found out yesterday that the problem was a contusion. I had dislocated my medial patella but it was able to relocate itself after a bit of time. Now I’m basically just dealing with the soreness after the fact. Any swelling …

On October 2018, I rented my very first apartment. It was obviously a momentous occasion and I had every reason to feel proud of myself. I had every reason to feel happy. I was moving on to the next phase of my life. Truly, things could’ve only gone uphill from there. Then I tripped on …

The Mistakes That Work To Define Me Part 2
My hesitation in writing this particular article comes from the thought that my descriptions here will make people think ‘oh you think you’re so special don’t you?’. Well, if I really had that fear, I probably wouldn’t have written so many articles about my experiences on the autism spectrum. This article is a little different on the …
The Mistakes That Work To Define Me Part 1
Right now, as I write this, a troop called Mistakes are hard at work sending me meaningless reminders, typing up fake news, and having not-so-peaceful protests against the Truths.
