Practice doesn’t just maker perfect, sometimes it makes possible.

Healthy boundaries include the right to not engage—especially when someone’s coming at you like a rage-baiting, aggro-pulling chaos goblin. You are not the Internet Paladin of Enlightenment, sworn to battle every troll, conspiracy warlock, or emotionally unwell stranger demanding you "debate" them.

Showing up for yourself - especially when it is hard - is the strongest self love there is

If you’ve ever been part of a World of Warcraft raid group, you already know: it’s not just about gear and reflexes - it’s about mindset, teamwork, and how you handle failure. And nowhere was that lesson clearer to me than during the Sylvanas Windrunner fight in Sanctum of Domination.

It's not a rhetorical question. It's the stunned gasp of someone staring back across the decades of their life and realizing that what they thought was a personal failing was actually a neurological difference. All those years of being told you're lazy, unmotivated, careless, too much, not enough - it hits like a crit when you're at 2% health and out of potions.

Most of the trauma didn’t come from being neurodivergent. It came from being misunderstood and mislabeled, again and again.

Crazy is one of those words. Slippery. Charged. Weaponized in one sentence and celebratory in the next. It’s a linguistic shapeshifter—used as both dagger and dance party invite, depending entirely on tone, context, and the speaker’s intent. But here’s the plot twist: you get to choose which version you pick up and run with. And me? I’ve chosen to strap it on like a banner, brightly colored and flapping in the wind behind me as I ride into battle on the warhorse of personal power.

Here’s the thing: the Void whispers in all our heads. You're broken. You're stupid. You're wrong. They're judging you. You're failing.

But not every thought is true.
Not every emotion is accurate.
Not every snarl in the dark is a boss fight.

Let’s talk about Projection—the Old School monster that lives in the psychological basement and wrecks your emotional DPS if left unchecked. Seriously, this one’s got stealth, splash damage, and a knack for showing up just as you're trying to have a halfway decent day.

How much time do you spend trying to always be right when what you actually want is to be happy?
