The Butterfly Who Flapped Too Hard

  • These title things are hard!

    When it comes to the title of these posts, that's where I like to be creative. It's the one piece of a post that's made up, and I like to be a bit creative with them - like the title of the whole blog - but today, there is no creativity for a title.

  • Understanding emotions, or not.

    So, I've always felt a bit different to other people and nothing ever sat 'right' with me.
