Make sure that wherever you’re at in life, you don’t treat it like a transitory period.

Don’t waste your school years wishing to have already graduated and have a job. Don’t waste your single years wishing for someone to be in love with.

If/when those things come, you will know. But there is nothing like looking back and feeling empty because you wasted literal years ignoring what you had because you were hoping for something better.

While it’s important to better yourself and reach for your goals, don’t neglect the present moment because that’s where you are now, and it’s your “now” that determines your future.

People fade away,
With time
They fade more and more every day,
You will forget that one person who you are addicted to,
One day you will realize that it has been long since your curiosity made you check on them.
So if you are in pain, if you are still grieving or still addicted to someone who isn’t yours, someone who you can’t get out of your mind,
I’m here to tell you the sweet and sour fact:
They will fade away
And you won’t miss them
But you’ll always miss the true pure feelings you had for them.

ADHD is more than a trend on TikTok 🍩
Our minds can race with 10,000 thoughts rushing in. This gets us holding multiple conversations that often confuse everyone around us 🦄🍎🍦🍩🎶

People with ADD/ADHD can:

❤️ Don't feel or feel too deeply
❤️ Can't focus, but can concentrate too much
❤️ Sleepy, but our mind is wide awake
❤️ Care too little, but can care too much
❤️ perceived as all over the place

No wonder it can lead to various issues, like anxiety, stress, depression, low confidence, and other challenges. Talking to a neuro-affirming therapist with lived experience can make a difference. We don't just "get you". We "understand you".

It's a journey, not a destination.

Every mind is a universe, and just like the vast cosmos, our mental health is an intricate, delicate, and deeply personal journey. Sometimes, we're able to surf the waves with grace and poise, while at other times, we might feel like we're drowning in the storm.

Today, let's honor our mental health, not as a side-note but as a critical component of our holistic well-being. Remember, there's NO SHAME in admitting you're not okay, in seeking help, in expressing your feelings, and taking the time you need to heal and rejuvenate.

YOU are your biggest project, your greatest adventure. Your mental health matters, and so do you! 💙🌍

Sometimes being yourself will rub others the wrong way. It might make them uncomfortable, or even confrontational. But that's their problem, not yours. Your journey is about embracing your truth, living authentically, and if that makes others uncomfortable, they need to check their own journey.

Think of it this way: would you rather be a star that shines with its own light or a moon that shines with borrowed light? It's better to be disliked for being who you are than to be loved for someone you're not. Maybe we can embrace our authenticity and be free.

It's easy to feel the pressure to conform, to fit into the mould that others have set for us. But every time we stand our ground, every time we are unapologetic, it force others to confront their own lack of adaptability. We should stand tall in our truth. We owe it to ourselves

There will be times when your decision to be yourself will cause others discomfort. These instances are not a sign of your failure but a testament to their struggles. Keep shining your light, your authentic light. Don't dim it for anyone.

Living authentically can often be a lonely road. Some people will find it hard to accept the real you. It's their loss, not yours. It's their inability to understand, not your inability to conform. Don't compromise your authenticity for the sake of acceptance. Be you, because you're enough.

There will be times when the refusal to conform will stir anger in those around you. This anger isn't about you but their own inflexibility. They are the ones who need to adapt, to grow, not you. You are perfect as you are.

Think of yourself as a piece of art. Some may try to critique you, to force their expectations upon you. Yet, just as art does not change itself to fit the viewer's interpretation, you too should not change to fit someone else's perception. You're not clay to be moulded, but a masterpiece already.

As you journey through life, some people will form opinions of you, trying to shape you into their image. It's crucial to remember that their opinions are more about them than you. Their reaction to your refusal to conform is nothing but a reflection of their inability to adapt.

There will be times when your authenticity will be questioned, when you'll feel out of place for just being you. But know this, the inability of others to accept your true self is a limitation of their understanding, not a reflection of your worth. Let them see the real you, because the real you is wonderful.

The world might be full of voices, some of which will try to redefine us. But remember, those who mind our authenticity, they don't truly matter. And those who matter, they won't mind. It's OUR story, not theirs. Write it, live it, be it.

Never attempt to explain or justify our actions to anyone who isn't willing to see the best in us.

There will be urges to do so.

There could be a part of our mind conditioned to believe that we must earn and demonstrate our worth to everyone to feel secure.

Be aware of this and expect it.

We can ask ourselves whether we feel respected and appreciated in other's company. Do they question our behaviour respectfully, with care, love or compassion?

If not, step back, disengage, and establish boundaries if needed.

Remember, every moment spent pondering, conversing, and navigating around people who don't hold us in the highest esteem is time taken away from those who genuinely do.

People in our life may expect you to conform to their expectations of you. As we refuse, and they get angry, it simply highlights their own incapability to adapt. Don't let them stop you from being your authentic self - Tidus

I think sometimes, learning how to navigate healthy relationships is a challenge, especially when you've experienced suffering growing up, or without a role model. We try our best, but it's a learning curve.
