There is a learning disorder called dyscalculia — and I probably have it. I have never been tested or diagnosed, but when I came…
Oh my God, success. Jesus fucking christ, success. Success. Success. Success. That’s all that seems…
I’ve had a run of bad news over the last six weeks. As a result I’ve had patches where its felt like I’ve been…
Re-write the script.
Sometimes life can be terribly frustrating. The majority of it could seem like chaos. You are desperately trying to figure…
When you take everything personally, people don’t understand your sudden change of mood.
