Final Fantasy XIV is an online MMO available on PC and Playstation. It's been a year since I started the game and I wanted to take the chance to reflect on some of my memories since I began. My current FFXIV PSN playtime is 1,815 hours. This time last year after having a PS5 for around six weeks I decided to try and give Final Fantasy 14 a try. I didn't know what to expect other than the fact it was an MMO so there would be other players but being a fan of other final fantasy ... Read more
A Year of FFXIV
A Year of Nursery for Felix
For the first time since Felix has been in nursery we were able to go and look around the setting and find out in person how he's been getting on.

It has really taken it's toll. I have truly been pushed to my limits in ways I didn't even know I could be pushed. I want to ... Read more
Neurodivergent Self Diagnosis is Valid
For the last year or so I have opened up to friends and family, as well as writing about it here, that I think I am autistic and have adhd. I've talked before on my blog about my mental health and battles with low mood and anxiety but last year something really clicked for me which gave me the push to seek a conversation with my doctor. I am now on the waiting list for my area for an assessment and I do not know how long I will be waiting. This is difficult for me because whilst a lot ... Read more
