Who

I'm Haley! Your Dearest Haley to be exact. Haley is my full name- it's a mononym!

I call myself Dearest Haley because when modern forms are so desperate for me to fill in the first name box, I still have something to put in it. Apps across the globe must compliment me if they are to receive my custom. Sometimes I use xxx, which makes it look like the service is blowing me kisses.

I'm less-defining of myself than ever! I'm disabled, as in "can't work can't look after themselves" disabled, so I pretty much don't have titles the way the rest of the world has. I'm most known for my spoken word poetry events which I did before I got FND.

Nowadays, I'm focused on being less-stressed and remaining as unbothered as possible. Recalling information causes my tics and symptoms to flare up, and those symptoms include drop attacks and spasms, so I do my darnedest to worry as little as possible.

Currently, I'm not really doing anything with my time. I play a game called Colors TCG, where you collect and trade little images of anime characters, and I find that low-thinking mechanical craft stops the tics, so I do a lot of zine making. I'm trying to get back into video games and watching stuff, but I'm finding it very hard. I like Milgram though!

Eventually, this will not be so self-deprecating, but as of 20/05/2025, this is my feelings about myself. I'm going through a lot and I see this digital garden as a place to be honest. As things get better, so will the garden bloom.
