For many of us, finding our place in the world is fleeting. We are the misunderstood, the misfits, the eccentric, those who don’t quite seem to fit the acceptable societal mold. I have come to accept this part of me. This is the lonely part of me.

Don’t walk through this world looking for evidence that you don’t belong. Because you will always find it. Don’t walk through the world looking for evidence that you’re not enough. Because you will always find it. Our worth and our belonging are not negotiated with other people. We carry those inside our hearts

~ Brené Brown

I am on the Autistic Spectrum. I don’t always do what neurotypical people would. Naturally, because I am neurodivergent. I face multiple barriers. Few understand. I do the best I can, I do all that I can yet some may think I am not doing enough. These barriers are the direct result of Autism, Depression, Anxiety, Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome, and now a heart condition worsened because of injuries from my accident. Following my sisters passing I was diagnosed with LongQT Syndrome which might be genetic.

I share this to give you a glimps into my life. It hasn’t been easy but my experiences, as difficult as they may be, is inspiring what I write. What I write gives me hope. What I write here is therapeutic. It gives me a sense of purpose and I enjoy writing.

A colleague of Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung said the following…

The only way out of the labyrinth of suffering is to confront it

~ Carl Jung

It’s not easy to confront suffering but if we don’t it will eat away at our soul. Pain and suffering are inextricably linked to the human experience. From the physical agony of illness and injury to the emotional turmoil of loss, heartbreak, and injustice, suffering manifests in countless forms. It can be a constant companion, a fleeting shadow, or a sudden, overwhelming wave. These experiences, while often deeply painful, can also be profoundly transformative, forcing us to confront our own mortality, to appreciate how precious life is, and to cultivate resilience and compassion.
