Hi, I’m Chris — and this is 50 First Reflections; Chris’s Diary.

Six months ago, I went through brain surgery that changed everything — the way I speak, the way I see the world, even how I understand myself. Somewhere along this journey, I also discovered that I’m autistic… and it felt like finally finding a missing piece of me that was there all along.

This space is my diary — my safe place to reflect, to breathe, and to remember who I am becoming. Each episode feels like writing in the quiet hours after healing, when the world slows down and honesty starts to speak.

Here, I talk about recovery, identity, gratitude, and all the beautiful, messy in-betweens of starting over.If you’ve ever had to rebuild yourself from the inside out — you’ll feel at home here.

brighter days are coming 🐦‍🔥
