My Story

The journey of The Mesij started around five years ago with a simple yet powerful idea. I’m a voracious reader and a passionate researcher who noticed a recurring theme among most blogs: they were all pretty much the same. The articles were predictable, the topics redundant, and there was a distinct lack of diversity in content. I wanted something different – a blog that wasn’t afraid to tackle the risqué, the unusual, and the downright intriguing. Thus, The Mesij was born (phonetically spelling out “message” for that extra flair). The mission was clear: to create a space where real-life stories could be told, practical advice could be given, and readers could find content that was both interesting and useful.

I write like I talk—with warmth, wit, and way too many tabs open in my head
I’m raising neurodivergent kids while unmasking decades of my own
I believe emotional honesty is a superpower, not a weakness
I don’t do toxic positivity or 5am miracle routines
I started The Mesij to help people who feel too weird for the world but too wise to stay small

Brain Fog Isn’t Laziness

Here’s What It Really Is (And How I Cope) That Time I Lost My Phone… While Holding It We’ve all had those moments where we walk into a room and immediately forget why. But for me, that’s not just an occasional blip, it’s a full-blown lifestyle. Once upon a youthful time, I could hold a…

Neurodivergent Life Admin That Actually Works

The Mesij1 week ago1 day ago06 mins

I’m Not Disorganised, My Brain’s Just Full What Is Life Admin and Why Does It Break Our Brains? Life admin, the boring but necessary tasks that keep us functioning: bills, forms, appointments, cleaning, emails, laundry, birthday cards. For the neurotypical brain, it’s a mild inconvenience. For the neurodivergent brain, it can feel like drowning in…

15 Ways Humans Love to Explain Things

The Mesij2 weeks ago1 day ago08 mins

Ever asked someone a simple question and received a three-part novel in return? Or found yourself nodding politely while someone explained something you literally teach for a living? Welcome to the wonderful (and sometimes wildly annoying) world of explaining – where clarity meets comedy, and intention often misses the mark by a mile. Whether it’s…

The Cult of Celebrity Worship

The Mesij2 weeks ago6 days ago07 mins

What even is a celebrity anymore? Once upon a time, celebrities were unicorns. You’d see them gliding across the screen at the Oscars or waving from the back of a limo. Now? They’re everywhere and nowhere. A YouTuber with 3 million subscribers. A Love Island runner-up with a teeth-whitening discount code. Your neighbour’s niece who’s…

Grandma’s Fortune Teller Was Onto Something

The Mesij3 weeks ago2 weeks ago07 mins

We may live in the age of Wi-Fi and wearable tech, but humanity’s itch for a glimpse beyond the veil hasn’t gone anywhere. In fact, many ancient fortune-telling practices are not only still around—they’re thriving, shapeshifting, and sneaking into wellness retreats, Instagram Reels, and even your local coffee shop. Here’s a light-hearted, grounded look at…

The Truth About Multicultural Communication

The Mesij3 weeks ago2 weeks ago09 mins

Let’s talk about something that’s become as essential as sunscreen in Greece: multicultural communication – or as it’s often called in professional circles, cross-cultural communication skills.  With more people packing up and moving across borders,  whether chasing sunshine, cheaper rents, or a slower pace of life – it’s time we faced a vital truth: Just…

The Conversation about Understanding Andropause

The Mesij4 weeks ago2 weeks ago18 mins

Alright fellas, and those who love them! Pull up a chair. We need to talk about something that rarely gets airtime at the pub or over a roast: Andropause. Before you roll your eyes and mutter “sounds made up,” hear me out. This isn’t a lecture. It’s more like a friendly heads-up from someone who’s…

Supplements Every Man Needs (But Likely Skipping)

The Mesij4 weeks ago2 weeks ago18 mins

Age Like Fine Wine Ever noticed how men, much like old furniture, get creaky with age? While women are publicly ushered into the menopausal hall of fame, men quietly tiptoe into their own hormonal decline, socks and all. Let’s call it what it is: andropause. Yes, it’s real. No, it’s not an excuse to skip…

Ghosting Hurts—But It’s Not About You

The Mesij1 month ago2 weeks ago09 mins

Let’s talk about ghosting. Because apparently, it’s 2025’s preferred form of communication, silence. Whether it’s in love, friendship, or business, we’ve all had that one person go full Houdini on us. One minute they’re replying with heart emojis, the next… tumbleweed. Now, let’s be clear: ghosting is not new. But the frequency with which it…

Tarot Isn’t the Devil’s Work nor Gospel

The Mesij1 month ago2 weeks ago09 mins

Let’s talk Tarot, yes, those little cards some folks clutch like rosary beads, while others recoil like you’ve summoned a demon just for mentioning them. Me? I’ve been dabbling for a decade or so. Ten years might not sound like a lifetime, but I’ve seen enough to know this: Tarot, like anything else, is a…
