I’m sharing this because I think it’s important to show the messy, human side of building something with heart

If you’ve ever felt caught between perfectionism and passion, or between your neurodivergent wiring and your creative drive — maybe you’ll see yourself in this. Maybe it’ll remind you you’re not alone.

All I want to do is to get this out there and create a discussion

Another reason that I bring this up relates back to imposter syndrome. For me, I can whole-heartedly say the not knowing if I am “doing this right” concept perpetuates my anxiety. We go through years of education and endless hours of practice and at the end of it we still don’t know if we are doing it right.

My mind is a mess on many levels

Keywords: {0}

Things that should take me mere minutes, takes me over an hour. I forget important things. My mind tricks me into thinking I’ve done those important things only to remember weeks later that I never did complete something. The depression and anxiety that has come along with all of this has been insurmountable at times. I try so hard to be positive but when I’ve literally felt these awful feelings in my bones, it’s been very difficult.

I’m not sure what I’m waiting for, but I’m waiting!

I sometimes feel a pang of relief when the few plans that I have get cancelled. I feel a bit guilty about that, like there is an expectation now that I should feel grateful for the opportunities that we have and I must pack my diary to the brim with events and occasions. As an extroverted introvert, I’ve often battled with wanting plans and wanting to cancel plans. I think lockdowns and restrictions took the pressure off this for those like me!

Sometimes it’s as if I’m trying to justify my existence in this world, to at least not feel guilty for existing

To convince myself that I am at least good at something, I must be good at something. And that it’s okay to be mediocre, it’s okay to not be outstanding. That I don’t need to be that one person people remember when they are thinking about something, for example talk show, perhaps people will immediately think about Oprah, or Ellen. Something like that.

I have serious anxiety when I find myself in sexual situations, and anything negative that I experience during this time will cause me to unconsciously repress any sexual desire I feel for that person unless it is addressed

Keywords: {0}

I want to move forward, keep trying, face rejection, if need be, speak up whenever I have a serious problem such as this one and never settle for something that is pitifully lacking compared to what I had in mind.

I’ve got time to savor it

Keywords: at home , garden , savor , summer

In years past, once spring began, I was impatient for summer. I felt it would never arrive. The little sprouts of green in March excited me when they first appeared, but they weren’t enough. I wanted the full floral bloom of July. I wanted petals and blossoms and flower spikes. I wanted blazing stars, daisies, mikweeds, zinnias. I wanted heat and butterflies. I wanted it to be June in April.

Sometimes I ask that same question and wonder why life couldn’t have gone differently… couldn’t have been a bit smoother

As someone with a sleep disorder and a mood disorder I relate to the need for a nap and a snack to calm me down most of the time. Haha! So out of this simple Bible story and my own life story Nap and a Snack was born.
