A lot of us are just trying to keep our heads above water, and that is how we exist.

Peace and happiness seem a rarity these days, but I'll never stop wishing for it for all of us.

I have to say, what is so heartbreaking, is as I was often searching online last year for discussions from people with similar symptoms, is that so many of us are living in a constant anxious state. This world demands so much from us, and our bodies are responding with debilitating symptoms.

For the first time, I was looking back on my life a bit more kindly. I have a different lens to look through now, and an understanding I didn't have before. Though I wish I'd had a diagnosis sooner, as at 31, it feels a lot of damage has been done now. The obstacles are much harder to overcome.

I never understood why I was always so anxious. It was only because someone mentioned it last year, that I underwent an assessment for autism. And I was officially diagnosed with level 1 autism.

Thank you ♥ 😊

I know this feeling all too well 😔 It is all consuming, both the personal struggles as well as contending with the chaotic world we live in. There's just zero respite from it all.

But, I truly believe there's still peace to be found. Until then, know you aren't alone in what you're going through.

So many to name 😊 But these always fill me with nostalgia.
