Apparently, There Were MORE Good Things.

On 17th Jul 2026 By Absurd RhioIn Little lights in the dark, Memorable Days4 Comments

After a couple of stressful weeks, I decided to stop and remember the good things instead. Somehow that list ended up including finally getting my medication, a surprise Starbucks bear, seeing the trees again, becoming weirdly obsessed with washing powder, breathtaking sunrises, and, of course... even more pigeons.

Everything Is Anxiety But There Are Iced Americanos

On 19th Jun 2026 By Absurd RhioIn bipolar, Weekly Updates2 Comments

This week I was anxious, trapped in a giant netted cage, fuelled by iced decaf Americanos, and writing essays about asexuality. Somehow, despite all that, blogging has started helping my mental health again. Life is weird, but I’ll take the motivation where I can get it.

The Electricians Installed the Sun

On 16th Apr 2026 By Absurd RhioIn cluster headaches, mental health6 Comments

Life lately has been a strange mix of chaos and comfort -electricians installing what feels like the sun, a full coffee hyperfixation, and quietly escaping into Minecraft. Somewhere between all of that, I’ve been trying to keep things together, finding small pockets of calm in places I didn’t expect.

Grief blogging, ADHD chaos, ED recovery, and Cyberpunk 2077 outbursts. Sometimes Biscoff. Always feelings.
