Welcome!

Hello :)

Welcome to my blog! I'm Laura - a nature-loving, book-devouring, introverted old soul, who is interested in an awful lot of things and an expert in none.

I also love to write. It's how I most easily communicate. As an autistic, I've always been very quiet and reserved and found it very difficult to make conversation, but this blog allows me to express myself so much more than I ever could in everyday interactions. It's meant that my family and friends have been able to get to know and understand me better - my thoughts, feelings, and personality, what interests and matters to me, what I get up to, etc. - and in turn I've been able to form better connections and relationships with them.

I don't write about anything in particular, just whatever I'm interested in and have thoughts on, so there's a variety - travel, food, nature, books, and more... and hopefully that will continue expanding as I learn to better gather my thoughts on different subjects.

As I said, this blog is how I most easily express myself, it's my biggest way of talking to people. So I absolutely love it when people respond :) Leave a comment on a post, subscribe to have new posts sent to your email, Like my Facebook page, Like and Comment on and Share posts on there, send them to other people who may be interested, let me know what you think of them, etc. It really means a lot. Especially if - with my experiences of anxiety, depression, autism, and all that surrounds those things - my writings can somehow be of value to another person.

Anyway, I'll leave you to (hopefully) enjoy reading through my eclectic essays on my experiences, thoughts, feelings, and interests :) Thank you for reading!
