🇬🇧 My name
Hello. My name is Andrea Vos.
But arriving at that name was quite a journey, so I figured I might write the story down.

🇬🇧 Dealing with chronic mouth sores
A bit my my cheek recenlty – and then it healed. Some time later I cut my lip while playing with Luna – and for the following week I was slightly annoyed by the wound.
That might sound awfully dull, but for me that's a huge reason to celebrate. Cause for years whenever I got even a tiniest wound in my oral cavity, chances were that I'd spend that week barely talking, barely eating, I couldn't kiss or have sex, or sometimes the pain would get so awful I wouldn't even be able to think.

🇬🇧 Optimising… laundry
It's not the kind of post I usually write, but you know, I've been a full blown adult for a while now, so why wouldn't I start ranting about some boring chores, huh? 😅
No, seriously, my laundry went from an exhausting and time consuming housework to something I just casually spend a few minutes a week on – and I'm so excited about that that I need to share.

🇬🇧 I hate foreplay. But not the way you think.
The name “foreplay” implies that it's just an introduction phase to the “proper” sex.
Just like the name “starter” / “appetiser” / “entrée” means that, well… no one comes to a restaurant just to eat that.
But sex isn't like that at all. It can still be fucking awesome without any need for the penetration obsession.

🇬🇧 How did I not know I'm pansexual & panromantic?
Sometimes it takes people a long time to figure out their gender and sexuality (and it's perfectly okay!) I was 27 when I came out as pansexual, and honestly it's not even that late. Still, it makes me feel sad about all time “wasted” not knowing who I am and being confused AF.
So today I'd like to take a moment to rant about three of the awful things that contributed to that.

🇬🇧 No comment
I used to think that the biggest advantage of the Internet compared to the old-fashioned media is that the communication doesn't just go one way. It's not just a few people broadcasting to everyone, but instead it's everyone having an equal voice.
But having spent years on the Internet has taught me something more: most of those “equal voices” are stupid and spiteful. And that's I don't have to listen to all of them.

🇬🇧 Treating children like people
There's plenty of reasons to love Daði Freyr's song (and my personal favourite for the 2020 Eurovision win) ”Think About Things”. But the most important reason is this: Daði is singing about treating his child like a human being. And that's why the song brings me to tears.

🇬🇧 Quirks of Polish names
Having lived in three different countries and interacted with people from all around the world made me realise that Polish names have some pretty unique quirks – to which, as a native speaker, I didn't give too much thought, while foreigners find them quite strange.

🇬🇧 Gender is over
For me, gender is over.
Not in a sad, “Game Over” way.
In a happy, “Mission accomplished” way.
