Love this Emily 🥰 Reminds me of the time I was despairing about my then teenage son. I felt like everything I’d done was wrong, I loved him too much, I should have been harsher etc etc I remember crying in a cafe talking to a friend 🤷🏻♀️
But now both my (grown up) children are awesome humans and I just had to be patient and trust myself xx
What a beautiful read - I feel like it has everything that is really important to hear today, including that there is a place called Whittier where everyone in the city lives under one roof! xx
Thank you Emily - found myself despairing twice today, and here you are reminding me of the cure - to stay connected & be of service. Ngā mihi for your good timing x
Such beautiful words. Thank you for sharing. I want an easy life because it's always so messy in my mind, at work, in my house, in my bank account and in my inbox, and I am always overwhelmed. It means I shut out external issues that are important to me but I can't deal with because I just feel completely overwhelmed already. You are right, though. Life is messy, and I have to learn to navigate my ADHD tendancies to make space for what matters to me- a life with meaning and community. I just don't know how to get there while keeping my head above water.
Be kind to yourself friend. ADHD Is brutal, life is tough right now ❤️ brave looks different for everyone and just being here in the world means you’re part of the community ❤️
