Navigating the World of Video Blogging as an Autistic Individual
In recent years, video blogging, or vlogging, has become a powerful platform for individuals to express their passions, share knowledge, and connect with like-minded communities. For autistic individuals, vlogging offers a unique opportunity to channel their intense focus and deep interests into engaging content. One aspect of this is info dumping, a term often used to describe the practice of providing extensive, detailed information about a specific topic. For many autistic vloggers, info dumping is not just a means of communication but a way to embrace and celebrate their neurodiversity.

It's Time For You To Accept The Money You Want
No matter what you're doing, you always have a choice: to bring love and a positive attitude into every situation or to let negativity drag you down. If you find yourself in an uncomfortable situation, look within and ask, "What lesson can I learn from this?" Every experience, good or bad, has something valuable to teach you.

LET THEM GO! Love Yourself Always
When it comes to relationships, especially romantic ones, they often become the top priority for many of us. We are always searching, hunting for love, believing that if we could just find the right partner, everything in our lives would magically improve. But here's the truth: chasing love with unclear intentions rarely brings us the relationship we desire. There is a big difference between needing love and being needy for love.

Love Yourself First
The most enduring relationship in your life—the one that will outlast all others—is the relationship you have with yourself. Every other relationship comes and goes, even those that last until "death do us part." Eventually, all relationships end. But the one person you will be with for your entire life is you. Your relationship with yourself is eternal.

The Quiet Destroyer: Why the Covert Narcissist Is the Most Dangerous of All
Most of us are taught to watch out for the loud, arrogant narcissist—the one who dominates every room and demands the spotlight. We see the storm coming. But what about the quiet, unassuming person who seems so humble and supportive, yet leaves us feeling confused, anxious, and constantly questioning our own sanity? This is the world of the covert narcissist, and their danger lies not in the storm, but in the subtle, creeping fog that erodes our reality.

How Narcissists Weaponize the Legal System
Narcissistic abuse is a form of emotional and psychological manipulation that often goes unnoticed, even by its victims. It is insidious, pervasive, and, in many cases, escalates into more overt forms of control and harm. One of the most disturbing manifestations of narcissistic abuse is when narcissists weaponize legal systems, particularly the police and courts, to further their manipulation and control over their victims. This article explores the dynamics of narcissistic abuse, how narcissists use the legal system as a weapon, and what victims can do to protect themselves.

How to Stop People Pleasing
One day in my childhood, I decided that I would be the source of everyone's happiness. There was a guilt so perfectly fashioned in my chest. Yet, I'd been oblivious to the fact that it never even belonged to me. For years all I wanted was to be seen, loved, and heard. The majority of my life was fueled by the desire to be loved. This took me down many dark paths that bring me shame to this day. There is grace in my deliverance, however. A moment that I can breathe. Only I always come back to the shame. Always. This same shame gave me the motivation to discover who it truly belonged to. I have been an astronomical part of my downfall. While I am aware of this now, I did not get myself to this point alone. I had the help of so many, only now in adulthood it is my responsibility to mend these broken pieces of my life. No, it isn't fair, but it is necessary.

Crossing Guard. Runner-up in Small Kindness Challenge. Content Warning.
A stab of pain jolts me from my sleep. I must have made some sort of noise in response because I hear my daughter and granddaughter scurrying around me, roused from whatever spot they found comfortable enough in this cramped den to finally rest. I can’t open my eyes to be sure, but I know they are hurrying to either side of my reclining chair turned deathbed. They each grab one of my hands, and even though I can't see them, I know Theresa, my sweet baby girl, is on my right, and my precious granddaughter, Brittany, is on my left. I hear her say, "We're right here, Nana. Do you need some water?" We both know she really means, “Do you want me to roll this wet sponge across your lips?” I do not know for sure how long it has been since I lost the ability to swallow, but everyone in this room knows how long a body can go without water, and I am ready but afraid.

Stand On The Shores Of Forever
Introduction This could have been a stream-of-consciousness entry for the Vocal "Unfiltered" Challenge but while it is nothing but stream-of-consciousness I want it to be just a calming piece for anyone who drops into it. Everyday life can put a lot of pressure on all of us, and if I can take a little of that away, then I will have succeeded with these words.

Kindness Is A Tool
When my twin sons were five years old and in infant school, I would take them to school every morning. I was an involved parent. Our classroom was overcrowded with only one teacher. Their class had more boys than girls. It would be an issue for an inexperienced teacher.
