and STV News I love raising awareness
for autism. I love all of my friends.

I lost both my parents at 19. I’ve been
bullied and attacked for simply being
myself. After 13 years on social media,
I’ve found my voice. I’m not less than
anyone I just see the world differently.
Thank you for letting me be me here.
Exactly two years ago today,
I met @mrjamesob.bsky.social in
Edinburgh at his book event. He was
every bit as thoughtful, kind, and
engaging in person as he is on the
radio. A true gentleman it was an
absolute pleasure to meet him. 😊

Kindness is stronger than cruelty. Always 😊

People are battling things you
don’t know. Be kind now you might
need their kindness someday.

Bullying leaves scars you can’t
always see. It steals confidence,
joy, and the simple belief that you’re
enough. I’ve lived it, and I know how
heavy it can feel. But I’ve also learned
this: being kind to yourself and
others has the power to heal.

Thread 🧵 | My Experience with Bullying
#AntiBullyingWeek 1/8 Everyone says school
days are “the best days of your life.” I wish
that were true. Here’s what I went through.

I can’t believe how fast this year’s gone.
It’s kind of wild how time just slips by. 😊

Fear of failure has hurt me more
than failure ever could. Every small
victory even walking to the shops
is proof I’m moving forward. 😊

Don’t judge someone until
you’ve walked a mile in their shoes.
Because some battles you can’t
see but they’re real. 😊

Don’t let your past define your future.
It’s a lesson, not a life sentence. 😊
November 9, 2025 at 12:13 AM
Your path in life is shaped by what you do,
not what others say. Keep moving even when
no one else understands your journey. 😊

Today, I went to a different shop that was
a little further than usual. It might seem
like a small thing, but it felt like a big step
for me. The more I keep doing it, the easier
it gets and the better it feels. Little by little,
things are starting to feel more possible. 😊

Healing isn’t a straight line. Even after
facing danger and fear, I keep going.
Progress isn’t about perfection it’s the
effort I keep putting in that matters. 😊

There are days when my anxiety
makes me want to stay inside. But
I remind myself how far I’ve come
and I go anyway. I don’t want to lose
that progress. Small steps, even
shaky ones, still move me forward.
November 8, 2025 at 7:46 PM
When I get back from
the shop, I pause, breathe,
and remind myself: I did
that. And that matters.

I’ve been walking to the shop and back
every day. It might seem small to some, but
with my PTSD and anxiety, it’s still hard. I still
get butterflies, but I’m proud of myself for
going out alone. Small steps matter. 😊
November 8, 2025 at 7:09 PM
I don’t talk much about it, but living
with PTSD and anxiety makes even
simple things feel huge sometimes.

I just realized it’s been five years since
the Four Seasons Total Landscaping press
conference one of the most surreal moments
in modern politics. While in Philly, I had to
visit the site. Strange place for a press
conference. Fascinating place to stand.

The world felt that
shift. 🌊💙 Hope isn’t gone
it’s just getting started.

I’m still buzzing from last night
democracy delivered! 💙🌊 Proud
to cheer on my American friends
from across the pond. 🇬🇧🇺🇸

Watching the U.S. election all the way
from the UK tonight and I couldn’t be happier
with the results! A big blue wave bringing
hope, progress, and unity. History made,
even across the ocean! It’s a good day! 😊
November 5, 2025 at 2:57 AM
Thinking of all my friends in the
US tonight sending love and
hope across the pond! 🇬🇧🤝🏻🇺🇸

Big blue wave incoming watching

I just wanted to post this video
to thank everyone for your
amazing support. I was a little
anxious making it, but I hope
it came across well. Settling
into my new place has been a
journey, and I'm beyond grateful
for all of you who’ve been with
me through it. I love you all. 😊

It’s amazing how much of a difference it
makes for your mental health when the sun is
shining and the sky is that perfect shade of blue.
It’s like everything feels so much better. 😊

Days like this make you
realize how big the world
is, and how small moments
can feel so special. 😊
