The Sky Between Us: Overcoming the Victim Mindset
I am someone who truly believes that everything from memories to stories we hear during our childhood or even along the years of growing up, plays a vital role as it subconsciously lays its foundation on the way we think, we process emotions, we deal with situations, and even in the way our characters are moulded.

KINTSUGI
A survivor’s strength and resilience is highlighted by their conscious choice to maintain grace, politeness, and dignity, even after gaining intimate knowledge of abuse, betrayal, or the darker side of human nature. A woman can survive significant hardships, cruelty, depravity, callous intent, and stripping away at her core innocence, due to physical, emotional, and psychological trauma caused by others. A woman’s courtesy is not a sign of naivety or weakness, but a conscious, refined choice of reclaiming her power, beyond the forms of destruction, that many remain indifferent to. With courage, the soul enters into a reformative state of upholding standards, rather than descending into bitterness or reacting with the same brutality one was subjected to.

Dear Past Me
There is a version of me that still exists in my memory. She moves quickly. She makes plans without hesitation. She says yes without calculating the cost. Her body is not something she negotiates with or questions. It simply works. It carries her forward without resistance, without interruption, without fear.

Permission to Rest
Rest used to feel like failure. Before my diagnosis, rest was something I earned after productivity. It was a reward waiting at the end of a finished task list, something to allow myself once everything else had been completed. Rest was optional. It was negotiable. It was something I could postpone in favour of being useful, being present, being enough.

Wicked and the Reality of Disability
The Wicked films arrived wrapped in spectacle. Audiences expected soaring vocals, dazzling visuals, and the familiar emotional weight of a beloved musical brought to life. Few viewers expected to encounter one of Hollywood’s most meaningful recent contributions to disability representation.

Proving You’re Disabled Enough
The hardest part of applying for disability benefits was not the paperwork. It was the translation. A life quietly reshaped by illness had to be reduced to tick boxes, descriptors, and carefully worded answers. Pain had to become evidence. Fatigue had to become measurable. Personal limitation had to be presented as a case strong enough to be believed.

Internalised Ableism
The question didn’t arrive all at once. It appeared slowly, quietly, in moments I didn’t expect. When I used my walking stick on a day I could technically manage without it. When I parked in a disabled space and stepped out of the car without limping. When I told someone about my diagnosis and watched their eyes search my body for confirmation.
