Vanished Without a Trace.
Have you ever known someone who just disappeared? Not metaphorically—actually gone. One day, they’re there. Laughing, working, texting you back. The next, nothing. No messages. No sightings. No answers. Just space where they used to be.

Between Two Worlds: Why the West Isn't Always Winning, and Why the Rest Isn't Always Losing.
Let’s be real. The way we live in different parts of the world isn’t just about borders or bank accounts — it’s about how we see life, how we connect with each other, and what we think counts as "a good life."

Part 2: Realising I Might Be on the Spectrum.. Top Story - May 2025.
Earlier this week, I consulted with a professional regarding the possibility of an autism assessment. The response was thoughtful and informative, setting clear expectations about the long waiting times associated with the process. While a private assessment is an option, it comes with a significant cost, and there is no guarantee it will be accepted by all institutions. The professional also took care to inform me of the potential delays so I could make an informed decision.

The Kiss
I don’t know where we’ll meet— a knock on my door? A stumble on the morning bus? Perhaps he’ll arrive like a whisper, too soft to notice at first. God, I hope not the GP surgery. Not something that clinical. Not something that sterile. This was always meant to burn.

Book Review: Unmasking Autism by Dr. Devon Price.
Unmasking Autism by Dr. Devon Price is, in many ways, a beautiful and timely book. It is bold in its voice, compassionate in its tone, and groundbreaking in the way it confronts the often-overlooked internal experiences of autistic individuals—particularly those who have spent years hiding their true selves in order to fit into a neurotypical world. For anyone who has ever wondered if they or someone they love might be on the autism spectrum, this book offers an illuminating and affirming journey. It is especially important for families, friends, educators, and those exploring their own neurodivergence.

Realising I Might Be On The Spectrum (PART 1).
Diary Entry – 5 May 2025 Today, I find myself still questioning everything. The idea that I might be autistic—might be neurodivergent—feels both unreal and deeply true. I sometimes worry that people may misunderstand this possibility, that they might see it as an attempt at ableism or as though I’m misappropriating an identity that isn't mine. But this is not about labels or appearances—this is about trying to understand the roots of my experience.
