I don’t know if you guys will remember, as I’ve deleted the previous post because there were some hateful comments regarding how his owner took care of him.

I won’t disclose the cause of his passing, but I want you guys to know that he was very much loved, both by his owner and also by me (and pretty much everyone in our neighbourhood)

The only picture you’ll see my face was the last picture I’ve taken of him :(

He was not my cat, but he chose me and that changed my hole life forever. I’ll always be grateful to him 🖤

I think I'm giving up on a life-long dream because it doesn't feel like it's possible anymore due my needs. Am I being mature? Or just dumb?

As soon as I finished high school, I jumped into a Flight Attendant course. It took a few months and I absolutely loved it, it became my life's goal to work in aviation in my country or perhaps trying Emirates (for those of you who don't know, Emirates crew earn a lot of money and also get to travel the world while doing so).

Also, during the course we learned a bunch of things about airplanes from the pilot's point of view, and I fell in love with it too - it became my ultimate goal to be a pilot one day. I even paid for one hour of flight as incentive, so I flew a small airplane with a tutor to see if I'd like it - it was the best day of my life!

5 years pass by after I'm done with the course and able to work as a flight attendant but I didn't get any opportunities in airlines from my country. I also can't try Emirates because I'm overweight and they don't take people who are so.

So, suddenly, I'm finally diagnosed with AuDHD. I've learned a lot about myself, including my emotional dysregulation crisis which happen every now and then, and makes me stop for a few minutes to regulate myself. I've learned that my Autism side needs a stable routine, same hours to wake up and go to sleep everyday, same working hours and etc, and that my ADD side makes me struggle a lot to get work done, and sometimes I even cross my functional limits and get completely shutdown .

Cabin crew (pilots AND flight attendants), have a very unstable life regarding working times and schedule. They don't work regular hours or are able to have a stable routine, which would def make me miserable. PLUS when I have to focus for too long without a break, or I'm simply in a bad day and must force my brain to work, it would be catastrophic and dangerous to be working in an airplane. What if we have an emergency then? It would require 100% of my brain's capacity, and sometimes I can not give it. Or god knows if I have an emotional dysregulation crisis (which I am indeed getting better to control) as a pilot, it would make people question my ability to work and bring safety to the flight.

So yep, I feel like it's time to let this special dream go. I've found a possible career in hospitality which I'm very happy about and accommodates my needs. I have new goals but I don't know if I should let this one go. Flying was my passion and dream for so long, how can I just... give up?

I'm asking this because I want to make a tattoo, and Emirates do not hire people with tattoos in certain body parts. I want to tattoo my biceps, which would mean that this door would be for sure shutdown forever. Is it worth it? Would I regret it?

I’ve made an emergency bag to have at work for when I have meltdowns - 3 MONTHS UPDATE!

Girls, a few months ago I made a post here about having an emergency bag at work for when I had emotional dysregulation crisis, and I explained each item and why they were there (you can find the original post searching here at the sub I guess)

I came here to tell you that it was a GREAT idea. for three months I didn't have a meltdown that escalated. All the crisis that I've had in this period of time, I took my bag and went somewhere isolated and was actually able to calm myself down. All my coworkers knew about it as well and respected it a lot, even offering to grab it to me if they saw I wasn't okay.

So, as you can see in the picture in this post, here is the version 2.0 of the bag. I'll explain a few of the new items that are most helpful and how they have been used:

- the blue blanket: it's soft, feels great to the touch AND this time I've asked my friend to leave it with her cat for a while (cats are my hyper fixation!) and now it smells like cats + it has all the fur. I've also had her take a picture of my favorite cat wearing it, I might have it printed and put it along on the bag

- the big tissue box: as the smaller version just wasn't enough. this one is already open so it's easier to grab when I need it

- the ugly pair of socks: it brings me a great memory bc I used it in a trampoline park with a friend and her son, we had lots of fun. PLUS it helps me hug my knees without my feed sliding down (as I wear social shoes I couldn't for the life of me keep my feet from sliding down...)

- a plasticized note on "how to help me": whenever people find me they get really scared because it's a very ugly crisis. I wrote this down with a few tips on how to assist me during this time, if they want to. It says to do not touch me, that I've been trough this before and know how to calm myself down and also to keep the less amount of people as possible around me. (I've censored the part with my address and emergency contacts btw)

- the hand physiotherapy kit: this is the most useful of all, i swear. the pressing thing helps me direct my strength into something else other then my hair. the little ball is also great for fidgeting!

+ the noise cancelling earphones, but this one I guess you all already understand lol.

that's it, this was the best idea I've ever had and I can't recommend it enough!

Watermelon lives in a cat cafe. Sat next to him and asked if we could be friends - I guess he wasn’t into attending to costumers that day…
