🌙 There’s something quietly powerful about taking one step after another - not to chase a finish line, but to simply exist in motion. Gently. Honestly. Just as you are.

I’m a quiet, witchy soul with AuDHD - a creative spirit who finds peace in art, poetry, books, nature, and the soft glow of fairy lights. I love dogs. I love games. I love dreaming.

I’m not a sporty person. I don’t have great health or stamina. I live with chronic pain and depression. Something always hurts - whether I’m moving or still. But I’ve grown used to it. It’s just part of being in this body.

Walking hurts - but I still love it. It’s one of the few things that lets me breathe a little easier.

That’s why walking 10k, at my own pace, feels meaningful to me. And this year, I’m doing it for more than just myself.

As part of Playstack’s global 10K team, I’m joining from Poland to support SpecialEffect - a charity that uses technology to help people with physical disabilities experience the joy of gaming.

Some teammates will be running in London. Others, like me, are walking quietly from their corners of the world.

✨ And every donation will be doubled, thanks to Playstack matching all contributions. Your kindness goes twice as far.

If you’d like to support me, share the cause, or just cheer from afar - thank you. It truly means a lot.
