Those who follow my posts know I’ve been on a long journey of self-discovery, from childhood through to today, piecing together the jigsaw puzzle of my life to understand why I behaved the way I did.
The truth is, I was angry. Deeply angry. At everything and at everyone.
That anger often exploded into fits of rage. I knew it was wrong, but I couldn’t stop.
I tried alcohol, medication, drugs – nothing worked.
I felt possessed, evil even, knowing that this wasn’t the real me.
I blamed my father. I blamed my education. I blamed the unfair world. Rarely, did I blame myself.
And yes, I have regrets. All of them were tied to one thing: anger.
Yet, something started to change.
My anger began to fade. It still flickers now and then, but I’ve learned to turn it into humour, to let it go more easily than before.
And, as things started to go right in my life, I found myself asking: Why do I deserve this peace, this contentment, this ease with the world?
The answer came when I stopped fighting and started understanding. Understanding me!
I am neurodivergent. I think differently. I feel differently. I am different.
My struggle was about trying to fit in when I was never meant to.
I was trying to be someone else instead of embracing who I truly am.
Being different is not a flaw, it’s a truth.
When we stop fighting that truth and start working with it, everything changes. Your relationships, your sense of purpose, and how you view the world.
So, I ask you to consider - do you know who you truly are?
If not, start exploring. Find your difference, be your difference, and embrace it. For that is your true self.
You deserve to be happy, to be content, to have good things happen to you, too.
Let’s talk!
Be Your Best You!
