Wisdom Teeth
A common experience for teenagers, my wisdom teeth were coming in. Some people have enough room in their mouth to accommodate the addition, but I was not so fortunate. My bottom two wisdom teeth grew at a diagonal, angling closer and closer to my molars. The top two were clearly a bit drunk and attempted to spiral out of the side of my jaw.

He was young my science teacher. It was love or so I thought. He taught me how to be passionate and how to stick out when you aren't very confident. Now he's on a list of adults not to trust. I don't know why knew him that much. I don't actually remember anything I was supposed to learn in science during those years. But loves a pretty fickle creature that's the lesson I was taught. I pretended I adjusted, as the silence ate away. I told someone I thought I trusted, but she didn't even wait a day. This was not supposed to happen not today and not to me. Now it's little lies and Big decisions, Who to tell and where to go. Follow someone else's vision or trust my own cause I don't know. it's bittersweet to think about the damage that we'd do. Cause I was going down but I was doing it with him. Was I stupid to love him? Reckless to want to help? was it obvious to everyone else? He was never on my side. There's things I want to tell everyone but I'll just let it be.
Senses and Sensibility
Do you ever catch a whiff of a scent that instantly transports you to the past? The aroma of fresh bread suddenly brings you back to a stool in your grandmother’s kitchen, enveloped in a sense of warmth and calm. Degree deodorant gives you butterflies in your stomach as though your old fling just walked by, even years after the fact.

I woke up that morning with a heavy feeling in my chest as if an invisible weight was crushing my spirit. I tried to shake it off, convincing myself that it was just a passing feeling, but little did I know that this was the beginning of a long and arduous journey through depression.

The Acid Trip to Hell #4
PART 4 OF 6 Now I can hear Elia is on the phone to Jason (and still in the bathroom). I knock on the door and say I really need in. No response. I can literally hear that she just stopped talking because I knocked. I knock again. Harder. And harder. I’ve had enough of this game they are playing with me.

PART 2 OF 6 23-06-20 06:00 Woke up in Elia’s bed feeling confused and scared. I lay so still as I tried hard to remember where I was. It felt like the longest time before my brain remembered the train and coming to Elia’s place. I picked up my phone to see that Jason had messaged me at 4am saying the 365 DNI movie is in the top ten most watched on Netflix but also has been voted the worst movie of 2020. I messaged back to say it fits. He replied immediately saying good morning, I wish you a wonderful sunny day.

Have you ever heard of ADHD masking? It's a phenomenon that many people with ADHD are not even aware of. They go through life trying to fit in and feeling like something is not quite right, but they can't pinpoint what it is.
The Attachment Theory: How Childhood Affects Life
The attachment theory emphasizes the importance of forming a strong bond with a primary caregiver in our early years. This bond provides a sense of security that allows us to confidently explore the world around us. However, when the bond is weak, we feel insecure and hesitant to venture out. Securely attached individuals tend to have greater trust, stronger connections with others, and overall success in life. On the other hand, insecure attachment can lead to mistrust, difficulties in forming relationships, and a lack of social skills.
Signs That You are Depressed, Not Lazy
Have you ever had days where all you wanted to do is lie in bed and do absolutely nothing else, you just wanted to be lazy and not worry about any of your responsibilities? We've all had our off days. We've all felt lazy, unmotivated, and uninspired from time to time, and it's normal to feel like that. But we live in such a hypercompetitive society that's so hyperfocused on pursuing success and wealth that it's made us feel internally guilty for the time we spend not working towards something productive.
Mental Health System Vs. Clairvoyance and Sexuality
There are many prejudices in this world. This affects the lives of everyday people constantly. I spent 15 years under the mental health services after being sectioned via a court at the age of 18. I was born with a form of Autism. I was only diagnosed at 16 with Asperger Syndrome after my father had to get the MP involved due to CAMHS assuming that I was probably on the spectrum without providing an official diagnosis. I had to obtain a diagnosis from a forensic team after the police kept getting involved for my behaviour issues relating to my undiagnosed Autism. I have just managed to get out of the mental health system after requesting to come off the section 117 aftercare. I wasn’t provided with any services for the past 7 years therefore the council agreed to end the section after 15 years. I want to go into how I may have got myself into the system by accident alongside the behaviours associated with my Autism. I was labelled a criminal due to a stupid attempt at trying to get revenge on someone who had rejected me when I was a teenager. I tried to get a tutor from college arrested for carrying a bomb when another student had told me that she was due to go on holiday that day. I emailed the airport saying that I had information that a passenger was carrying a bomb. Luckily, the court downgraded my charge to providing false information. I also got charged with Harassment a few times for how school had encouraged me to communicate as a child. I was told to write things down if I couldn’t talk to the teachers in circumstances where I was being bullied etc.
