Step By Step
It’s somewhat confusing to get used to walking in the morning for the second time. I thought I had it all figured out – the right backpack, the right weight of things inside it, the right pants with pockets to put my phone in when I’m walking. But it was still weird to walk that…

Oh, Hi There
Hello! I haven’t been around for a long time, but that doesn’t mean I’ve stopped doodling my beloved Blue Circle. Here’s a selection of new and newly-found Circles describing several moments from the past few months. I hope to expand on some of them soon, but I don’t want to force it. So for now,…

The Moment Before
I started meditating back in 2020. My then-psychologist thought it would be good for my overthinking and anxiety. I re-downloaded a meditation app I gave up on and sat on the floor.

Cleaning
Lately, keeping my tiny apartment clean has become more and more important to me. I guess it’s because that’s an easy way to pretend that the new week ahead, otherwise somewhat frightening, is a new beginning.

More New Doodles
I’m still trying to figure out how to fit the blog into this new, way more hectic and unpredictable version of life – but the blue circle follows me wherever I go. I keep doodling one every night before I go to bed. Here’s a new batch, collecting some of the new additions (check out…

New Doodles
This isn’t a regular post – I’m just popping in to say that I added more doodles to the (not so) new doodles page. They don’t all relate to disability, but they are about life, so I believe they deserve a place here as well. In case you want to only see the new doodles,…

Take A Walk
Turns out its much easier to lose the ability to do things than to gain it. So to avoid this kind of loss, Mom and I take a walk.

Position
The longer I stay at my childhood home, the more details pop and need to be taken care of. I realized I needed another grabbing bar outside of my shower. Not that my shower didn’t have any to begin with: it was designed specifically to meet my needs… When I was six years old and…
