Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
Do you ever have one of those mornings where so many annoying things sequentially occur that you feel you might be better off going back to bed and starting over later? I have had two in one week. The first was last Sunday. I woke up in the early hours because I was hot and …
I was thinking about how we gauge 'success'. Is success an individual measure we use to determine what meets our own criteria or is it a universal concept?
