Moien!
Hi there!
Welcome to my little safe space, where I used to share some of my thoughts, fears and difficulties with life and relationships, somewhat anonymously.
As I haven’t been feeling the need to write as much or often as I used to, I figured I’d let you in on a little secret – well, not so much a secret if you’ve been a regular reader of my blog posts.
In September 2024, I learned that I’m autistic.
This hasn’t only changed how I view and deal with my everyday struggles, it also makes me read all of my posts through a different lens. Most of the struggles I’ve been describing on here make so much more sense knowing that I am and always have been neurodivergent.
Since I enjoyed writing every single one of my blog posts and since some of you, neurodivergent or not, may have recognised yourselves in my writing, I will leave the blog as it is.
However, I won’t be adding new blog posts for now.
But who knows – I might change my mind in the future.
Äddi a merci! 🧡
(In English: goodbye and thank you!)
Why did I start this blog back in 2018?
Loneliness and the feeling of not belonging are the reasons that led me to write down my thoughts in the first place.
Why “Carrot Days”?
A good friend of mine suggested this in reference to the Shakespearean expression “salad days”, which means the following according to Wikipedia:
“Salad days” is a Shakespearean idiomatic expression meaning a youthful time, accompanied by the inexperience, enthusiasm, idealism, innocence, or indiscretion that one associates with a young person.
Also, the colour of my hair used to match the one of a carrot when I was a kid and the word “carrot” and my actual name have a lot of letters in common.
That being said, feel free to leave me a comment or, in case you believe this is complete nonsense, simply leave my page. Seriously, no need to be mean on the internet (or anywhere else really) – if you don’t like it, just don’t read it.
All the pictures I use on this site are my own, unless stated otherwise.
