The Mesij Founder

Simone Wolda

My Story

The Mesij began as a quiet rebellion. About five years ago, I grew tired of the same recycled advice, carbon-copy blogs, and cookie-cutter voices. Everywhere I looked, it was déjà vu in blog form, predictable topics, polished personas, and a glaring lack of nuance or diversity. I wanted more. So I created it.

The Mesij (a phonetic wink to “message”) was born from a stubborn desire to say what others won’t, explore what others skip, and serve the curious misfits of the internet who are hungry for something real.

Here, you’ll find the risqué, the overlooked, the wildly useful, and the oddly satisfying, all in one place. Whether it's practical wisdom, uncomfortable truths, or just a brilliantly twisted take on life, this is a space for those who think deeply, feel loudly, and never quite fit the mould.

I write like I talk: candid, unfiltered, and with 32 tabs open in my brain.
I’m raising neurodivergent kids while unmasking decades of my own.
I believe emotional honesty is a superpower, not a flaw.
I don’t do toxic positivity, nor do I rise at 5am unless legally required.

The Mesij is for those who feel too weird for the world, but far too wise to shrink for it.

So I Think I’m Neurodivergent… Now What?

The Mesij6 months ago5 months ago27 mins

It started with me Googling “Why do I hate phone calls but can write essays about my feelings?” And then, three hours later, I was deep in a Reddit thread where everyone seemed to have my brain. It was like being spotted in a crowd by a stranger who just gets you. No test. No…

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 Mesij6 months ago5 months 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 Mesij6 months ago5 months 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 Mesij6 months ago6 months 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 Mesij6 months ago6 months 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 Mesij6 months ago6 months 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 Mesij6 months ago6 months 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 Mesij6 months ago6 months 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 Mesij6 months ago6 months 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…
