My birthday tradition

After university, I started a tradition

Some years, I would invite a friend

Some years, friends would have a party for me

Some years, it was just me.

About my blog

This is basically my space to spill out everything I'm thinking and feeling.

Please note that some of the content here may be triggering.

What I write here is just me being honest with myself. Mostly just venting about things, realisations, and my path through healing.

There will be talk of CSA, SA, R, SI and ED here.
