I love gazing at the sunset as I eat my dinner.

Unfortunately, daylight savings means I now have to eat my dinner wearing sunglasses lest I be blinded

#why does the window face west? #I just want to eat my food in peace #sunglasses for dinner #student life #daylight savings #is my enemy

My mum put ‘cuddly toy’ on the list of things to pack for our family holiday. It’s just so sweet.

Like, I am an adult. I have lived alone for 3 years. And yet I’m still being reminded to bring my cuddly toy on holiday.

#she knows me very well #the cuddly toy was necessary #but it is also something #I would not forget #autism #actually autistic #student vibes

My flatmates: *walk into the kitchen we share*

Me: Ew. People. 

#there's a reason I moved out #how dare they #use the kitchen #that they pay for???? #I love them #but like #I thought I was alone for the holidays #flatmates #shared spaces #student life #student vibes

I love looking up from my traveller’s trance without a single idea of where in the country I am

#this is normally the point #where my mum gets a phone call #Me: can you check where I am? #Mum: How the heck did you get over there????? #this happens weekly #travelling #traveler's trance #wanderlust

Why am I sad? Because I saw you for so little time. And I don’t know when I’ll next see you again. 

Naturally it’ll probably only be a week or two, but the unknown is so scary and I feel as if I already miss you with my whole being

Why does greasy hair feel masculine

I hate this so much 

#lgbtq+ #trans #trans masc #nonbinary #gender is confusing #this feels highly unfair #but also I did have a very gender day

My friends are absolute angels. I’ve had a weird week, major ups and downs. One of them did my dishes for me because I was too out of it to move from the couch. The other told me to go and have a relaxing shower while they made the bed and tidied my room. 

I am very lucky, what did I do to deserve these people

F: What’s happened to your arm?

Me: Oh, it’s about to dislocate

F: How, how do you know it’s about to dislocate???

Me: Trust me, you’d know

Is this why I’m so drawn to paganism and my Druidic roots?

Something something travelling family, runs in the blood

I think I was born to travel

I have never felt more at home than in the diner surrounded by fields off a main road. Having been driving for 2 hours with countless more ahead of me

We can potentially take it up to 4? But I think I was meant to be in that last one

I don’t know. They just walked in and went, don’t worry, we’re just filming for Sky…

Number of films my family is going to have to be edited out of:

This week, we are up to 3

#at least my acting career seems to be going well? #acting #acting student #background work #extras

I'm sorry Tumblr, this post went where?????

Why did you kill my post? What determines which posts go to heaven and hell? This has raised so many questions I never thought I would be asking

#tumblr #why do you do this to me #posts are not sentient #as far as I'm aware #does this mean posts can sin? #Actually #I don't think I want to know #the answer to that

Just wanna say - you're a delightful human 💜

I don't actually know you at all, but your random thoughts really add some sparkle to my day and I thought you might find that nice to know

Oh my goodness. I never thought I'd actually connect with people and make enough of an impact to get comments like this.

I'm glad the chaos inside my head is able to brighten people's days just a little bit. I mean, why were we put on the earth if not to make other people's lives better, a little bit at a time?

Just because I’m aro doesn’t mean I can’t tell when people are hot. I know what society deems attractive, I’ve seen enough news articles like… IM AUTISTIC, IM GOOD AT PATTERN RECOGNITION

#but if I say they're hot #it does not mean #I want to date them #I'm quite happy #admiring from afar #lgbtq+ #autism #aroace #pattern recognition

Very nice dude just asked if he could sit next to me on the bus because I was wearing a mask

This bus was packed

But it’s nice to know there are still considerate people in the world

That one did really age as well as milk

The fact everyone just screamed ‘leave America’ in As It Was and Harry isn’t even here
