I don’t know who this is for and perhaps its just a reminder to myself but hopefully this helps someone to read.
Change is hard, so hard we often stick to what doesn’t work for us, the devil we know. Sometimes we stick to how things are out of fear or familiarity, often its because its hard to take those steps you know you need to because deep down you know it’ll make life a harder before it makes life better or your past tells you its hopeless.
Sometimes things compound and change is forced upon us by life regardless if we choose it or not so I advice always take control of change were possible but don’t rush it.
What ever causes your change its worth remembering progress is bumpy, you’ll make progress week only to be slapped back down two, but you have to trust the process and take time to get where you need to be.
This years been really complicated for me. Im bless but I’m stressed. Advocating for my needs as a neurodivergent person has often lead to lots of undesirable friction, misunderstandings and challenges that make me wonder if it’s even worth trying.
I still have a long way to go and for months now I have lost my creative spark. The challenge is creativity is also what fuels me and brings me a lot of joy. But it can’t be forced, it had to be paused and I had to become okay with that.
Sometimes you have to stop what you are doing for a while in order to be able to do it sustainably.
Change is hard but it’s full of opportunity.
If you are going through hell, keep going. Even if you tell yourself your struggles are not as bad as others, that doesn’t mean they are not valid. Please be kind to yourself, ensure your needs are met and put on your own oxygen mask first. Treat yourself like someone you love even if you don’t right now, you are loved and the best thing you can do for the people you care about is become the best version of you.
Please just know this, you are not alone and talking to someone you trust will always make things better in the long run.
Please don’t suffer in silence. If any of this resonated with you please send a 🦊 to help it reach others who might need to hear this today.
Appreciate you! 💚🦊
