A lot. And I like it mushy and thick. I&#8217;ll have you know I once ate 12 Weetabix in one go (12 is a number that makes me happy).<br>I really like books (they make me happy too).<br>And colourful socks, and novelty earrings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, I cut my sandwiches into the golden ratio because it calms me down. I can&#8217;t stand the idea of mushy pears, or putting custard with crumble. It infiltrates the dessert and suddenly you have no idea what each spoonful will consist of, and there&#8217;s too much chaos in life as it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other possibly important points: I dream of travelling the world, and having a family. I like CREATING. Posters, poems, drawings, stories.<br>The thing that makes me happiest in the world is making others happy, I think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do think a lot!<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle wp-block-ub-content-toggle-block\" id=\"ub-content-toggle-block-c79b6f50-429e-4a10-a0af-e2692ea9a5b6\" data-mobilecollapse=\"true\" data-desktopcollapse=\"true\" data-preventcollapse=\"false\" data-showonlyone=\"false\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion\" style=\"border-color: #000000; \" id=\"ub-content-toggle-panel-block-8ee5f97f-809f-40af-b021-26f5e81a2510\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-title-wrap\" style=\"background-color: #000000;\" aria-controls=\"ub-content-toggle-panel-0-c79b6f50-429e-4a10-a0af-e2692ea9a5b6\" tabindex=\"0\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-title ub-content-toggle-title-c79b6f50-429e-4a10-a0af-e2692ea9a5b6\" style=\"color: #ffffff; \">A Longer Version In Which I Go On and On About Things I&#8217;m Interested In:<\/p>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-toggle-wrap right\" style=\"color: #000000;\"><span class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-state-indicator wp-block-ub-chevron-down\"><\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-expanded=\"false\" class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-content-wrap ub-hide\" id=\"ub-content-toggle-panel-0-c79b6f50-429e-4a10-a0af-e2692ea9a5b6\">\n\n<p>Firstly, I really love art &#8211; learning about it, analysing it, the history of it, but also drawing and attempting other mediums! I make lots of cards for people, and that always involves a humourous doodle, which I&#8217;ve become somewhat known for. I also love general arty, crafty, sewingy things, and a PROJECT. I modded a GameBoy, and I&#8217;m not quite sure why, because I never actually managed to complete one game as a child, but I got to SOLDER, and it was fun! I also built a wand box, for a terrible splurge purchase of a custom wand from Etsy, to match my Pottermore wand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I&#8217;m not doing arty things, I also enjoy writing. Mainly poetry thus far, but I want to one day write stories, or even a novel! I think Spoken Word is absolutely beautiful (I tend to use overuse &#8216;exciting&#8217;, &#8216;beautiful&#8217;, &#8216;wonderful&#8217;, and<br>&#8216;sorry&#8217;).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, when I&#8217;m not creating stuff, I love to read (fiction, of course, but also non fiction), and research. I love maths and science, in particular. I&#8217;ll read my mum&#8217;s biomedical journals, and research random topics from within them! Biology and Chemistry, are both fascinating to me, and actually, after years of shunning Physics, reading A Brief History Of Time and The Quantum Self has opened my eyes up to a whole new world!<br>Another favourite topic of mine would be history. I just think it&#8217;s incredibly INTERESTING looking back and seeing how thinks link and the cause-and-effect and ALL the patterns. UNDERSTANDING THE WORLD. It&#8217;s a wonderful thing. The first ever non-fiction I read was Guns, Germs and Steel, and it blew my mind. I know it&#8217;s a somewhat controversial book, but regardless, I still say to everyone &#8211; read it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where was I? Ah, okay, so, when I&#8217;m not making things or learning things, and actually even when I am, I&#8217;m probably thinking about food. I&#8217;m Autistic, and food is one of my special interests. Studying it, following brands, learning about it&#8217;s history, analysing it, and trying it! I collect 12 different snacks, which all get reviewed, with any new products&#8217; wrappers stuck in a big folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I guess my other main passion is Autism and Mental Health advocacy. I have a long history with an eating disorder, OCD, depression, as well as the difficulties of navigating life as a neurodiverse individual, and so trying to make change in the world has become a mission of mine! I have a website about that kind of thing, which you can visit <a href=\"http:\/\/sunflowersaff.com\"><strong>here.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>I hope you like my little blog. I created it to share any of my random thoughts, feelings, and some of the things I&#8217;ve made. I thought it might make some people smile, or learn something, and if I can achieve that, then that&#8217;ll certainly make me smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Saffron)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" src=\"http:\/\/howsaffworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/134628675_10225124526409158_1150554143795961231_n-700x467.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-72\" srcset=\"http:\/\/howsaffworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/134628675_10225124526409158_1150554143795961231_n-700x467.jpg 700w, http:\/\/howsaffworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/134628675_10225124526409158_1150554143795961231_n-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/howsaffworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/134628675_10225124526409158_1150554143795961231_n-768x512.jpg 768w, http:\/\/howsaffworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/134628675_10225124526409158_1150554143795961231_n-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/howsaffworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/134628675_10225124526409158_1150554143795961231_n.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi!
