Hello, everyone! I wanted to take a moment to update you on what’s been happening in my life lately. A lot has been going on, and I’ve been reflecting on some of the changes, challenges, and growth I’ve experienced. ### Embracing Change and Finding Stability Over the past few months, I’ve been navigating significant changes in my routine and support structure. One of the biggest adjustments has been finding stability in my day-to-day life. As many of you know, living in a Supported Independent Living (SIL) home comes with its own set of challenges. I’ve learned that having a stable roster and a well-mapped-out day, week, and month is crucial for my sense of safety and well-being. When everything is predictable, it’s easier to relax and focus on personal growth. After all, if I don’t feel safe at home, where will I ever feel truly safe? ### Improving Health and Setting Boundaries I’m happy to report that my health has been getting better. It’s been a long journey, but I’m seeing positiv...

  Hi all so it’s been a while since I have done a blog post and that is because I have been diving into life, but there have been some massive changes and these are great things the first one is that there has been a change of care staff in the house I am yet to meet one but I am assured that she is lovely despite being young. I have been connecting with my family and wider community as well and finally have some time to sit and write in between this I have been organizing and decorating my home and I have accepted that this is my home.

  As I write this, I am going through let’s say an interesting time, and it has led me to question myself, about am I on the right life path and is it ok, to question the authority figures in my life, these being the people who have the power to destroy it. I am not talking about my parents or family at all they in fact are bloody amazing people, but the support workers in my disability services accommodation. There is one lady who I do clash with and the other support workers due to the fact that they have bills to pay can’t say anything at all to her as she is related to management. I had a run in with her and it has led me to question how much power a housing provider should have. I understand that they really need to have some but how much is too much power. Like I can have family over to visit but I can’t have other support organizations in the house due to insurance issues. But I have talked to the NDIS commission, and this is what the very definition of an unapproved res...
