I Just Got Back From A Fun Fair And I Was On A Ride Sitting Adjacent To This Little Boy. I Was So Intrigued

I just got back from a fun fair and I was on a ride sitting adjacent to this little boy. I was so intrigued by his demeanor. I will never forget how he made me so sad. He wasn’t excited about the ride, he was muttering to himself before the ride so I thought he was nervous. What stroke me was when the ride started, he had no grand reaction, no screaming, no facial expression, he was so serious and calm. More like he didn’t want to be there. I actually spoke to him after but he didn’t respond sand stored out. The other kids were going on and on about the ride, he was literally mute.

What could possibly steal joy out from a kid? I feel so sad for him, I wanted to give him a hug. I hope he heals from whatever he is going through.

You’re reading a book and suddenly you put it down and take a deep breath while contemplating what you just read. My gurl, you’re in too deep.

You 0: 1 Book

it's not executive dysfunction, I just don't want to because it takes time and effort and is at some points boring

I have been always been the person to cringe every time I have to appear in front of people either live or virtually in a video. I always cringe hearing myself speak. I grew up being bullied and made fun of for the way I looked. I mean it wasn’t my fault. So I grew up a very anxious and super self conscious child. I was diagnosed with ADHD last year. In the past few months I really always saw myself looking good and people always complimented me. I never believe them, I always thought they are saying that because they have good and kind hearts. Recently I’ve been feeling horrible because my Fibro is making me gain so much weight and I’ve been body shaming myself without even realizing. When I said that to an old friend of mine, he said that my face is coming out and i look good. After him, 2 of my other friends said that as well. I’m here to tell you that you need to let go of the opinions of those that looked down on you and start embracing the ones that elevate you and make you feel better. I believe this is a start of healing. I feel like I’ve been holding myself back because of what an 8 year old said 16 years ago. I no longer care. It feels good to feel good about yourself. It really does.

Just finished Nora Roberts’ The Liar and all I’m saying is I need me a Griffin Lot🤌🏾

Love should calm the storm inside of you, not provoke it.
