I really enjoyed doing my photo challenge in January and although I tried to do it again in February, my brain was just too full of other things to keep up with the prompts and so my post became sparser and sparser. But this month started out more calmly and I felt a little less burned out and so I felt like I could actually hold the prompts in my brain.
I found the January prompts were more interesting but I was game to give it a go and so here we are…

It has been such a long time since I last did a photo challenge that I actually forgot how much I enjoyed them until I was searching for something on my blog and came across an old post, an old photo challenge. I really enjoyed looking back through it and decided it was time to do another one.
So here we are. This is my January in photos.

Hi! I’m Lauren Alex Hooper. Welcome to my little blog! I write about living with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, OCD, CPTSD, depression, and anxiety, as well as other health issues including hEDS and POTS.
I’m an alt-pop singer-songwriter (it’s my biggest special interest and I have both a BA and MA in songwriting) and my most recent EP, Too Much And Not Enough, Vol. 1, is available on all music platforms and is the first in the series of works based on my experiences as an autistic person.
