PGP / SPD My story:

🎉 Facebook recognized me as a consistent post creator this week! Despite the obstacles life keeps throwing my way, I keep showing up and committed to my own goals! 🙏🏻✨   Consistency is the key to success! I did some meditation after dealing with more unwanted and unnecessary negativity this morning and I'm feeling more like my little chirpy dork self again! Mike Davies is doing well post surgery so that's more good news, as he knows we've all been thinking of him and Ayshea Osman you're a star! A huge shout out to The Auckland Shanty Singers too because Joan and Christopher have a sweet spot in my heart! Mad appreciate you lovelies!! 🙏🏻✨☺️ I just want to finish by asking people, if you are gonna comment and say something can you question WHY you're doing it first and if it will help or harm because social media is getting worse and worse and people's ideas of professionalism these days is quite frankly the opposite to how I would define it! Also when som...

Aycliffe Alternative Magazine has been shining a light on our local communities since it began, and that includes supporting organisations doing incredible work across Darlington and the wider area. I'm proud to share Darlington Mind 's article from a previous edition and to highlight the important support they provide within our community. Despite the targeting, false narratives, and difficulties I'm currently facing, I'm still working hard on the June edition of the magazine because local people, groups, charities, businesses, and community projects deserve to be seen and celebrated. It's not always easy when negativity tries to take centre stage, but I refuse to allow that to distract from the positive work happening across our communities. The magazine has always been about giving people a platform, amplifying good causes, and helping communities connect with one another. That remains my focus. Thank you to everyone who continues to support the magazine, contr...

Kindness... My ex-abuser was handed court papers yesterday. At the same time, I find myself suffocating under the weight of other people's judgement, assumptions, lack of fact-checking, and lack of compassion. And honestly? I'm tired. Can we have some kindness back, please? Because behind every profile, page, blog, business, group, and public post is a human being. A real person. 🙏🏻✨ A person carrying things you may know nothing about. You don't know what someone is facing behind closed doors. You don't know what battles they're fighting, what trauma they're processing, what legal proceedings they're navigating, what health issues they're enduring, or how much strength it took for them to simply get out of bed that morning. Yet so many people seem comfortable judging, criticising, gossiping, and piling on without ever stopping to ask whether they're being fair. As someone with ADHD and autism, I feel things deeply. Disrespect, dishonesty...

Rumination and AuDhd. I'm still wondering what "agenda" people think I have... 👉🏻👈🏻 ...I hate people sometimes - they don't care how they impact others. I also hate vague comments and mystery, I'm gonna be ruminating on this all night, wondering what sort of agenda I am rumoured to have. I also shared an Advocacy post not the abuse update blog - to groups - but I can spit facts till the cows come home and no one cares and no one listens as people just prefer to judge. Why is this the life lesson I have to keep learning, that people will treat you unkindly and believe false narratives? That abusers will be forever supported and flying monkeys will forever flock together to harm individuals and other aspects of your own communities not only allow this, but support this. I do not like the way this world is. People deserve better than this. I didn't get out of my bedbound and housebound situation to be sabotaged, it's not my fault when people choose sides ...

"This is what surviving looks like. Not strong in the dramatic Hollywood sense. Strong in the sense of carrying chronic pain, trauma, neurodivergence, loneliness, judgement, anxiety, and depression every day and still choosing to wake up tomorrow." When you can't express or articulate it, create it.

The figure hugs a pink heart-shaped cushion while surrounded by flowing black and white scribbles symbolising chaotic thoughts and emotions.

The #CourtOfSocialMedia has spoken. #Judge #Jury and #Executioner ...and I'm still proud of me. ❤️✨ This isn't new to me. 🙏🏻✨ I'm neurodivergent. I've spent much of my life watching people rush to conclusions, make assumptions, and form opinions before all the facts are known. I've seen victims blamed. I've seen rumours spread faster than evidence. I've seen narratives become accepted as truth simply because they were repeated often enough. Abuse is often loud. Self-defence can get lost in the noise and judged as harshly as the behaviour it is responding to. The world isn't always fair. I blog about both my highs and my lows because I believe in transparency and authenticity. I want people facing similar hardships to know they are not alone. I've been accused of having an "agenda" more times than I can count. If supporting local people, advocating for disability rights, amplifying community voices, and speaking against abuse is an agenda,...
