I'm Callum and am so happy to be a part of the wonderful Mix community. I'm so glad that there are support systems like this available to everyone in this crazy world. I have personally been through so much already just as a teenager and really want to connect with others and help those that need a gentle hug (we all need it from time to time). I am kind and a great listener and have always been told that I would make a great counsellor/therapist :). I know how hard life can get, trust me, I've been there, and I really want to help others and show young people that we are not alone, and that we have each other's backs no matter what.
I enjoy dance, music, yoga, baking, being kind and helping others :) I have also been diagnosed with Autism, so know exactly what it's like to live with neurodivergence.

    Hi @Callum208 welcome to the mix! I also enjoy music and baking! What kinds of music do you like listening to? Or just a variety - I'm a bit like that, my taste changes all the time! I used to like yoga too but unfortunately I can't do it any more for physical health reasons but I'm about to start 1-1 pilates with a physiotherapist!

    Hey! I love baking cakes in particular - mostly just cupcakes as they're so nice and simple so a great thing to bake when unmotivated , and they act as a gentle hug in these times.

    Hey! I'm literally the same to be honest, I'm always listening to a good variety! I do love classical music though, it can be very soothing and helps with motivational flow. That's sad you can't do yoga, but such a positive that you're starting 1-2-1 pilates! Hope it goes well x

    Thanks! I love a good variety, but mostly classical with maybe a tiny bit of more party-type music if I'm in the mindset

    That's cool. I'm not really a fan of classical music myself but I do love me some variety too.
    Looking forward to seeing you around the boards! Take care :)

    Welcome to The Mix, Callum!

    Growing up can be a challenge, but especially for autistic or neurodivergent young people. It's lovely to hear that, even though you have been through your own fair share of struggles, that you'd like to support others too.

    Feel free to check out our neurodivergence forum too- https://community.themix.org.uk/categories/neurodivergence

    Don't forget though- we are here for you too :)
