You can’t fix what you won’t face. Denial might keep your ego alive, but it won’t down the boss. Radical honesty is the ultimate mechanic for unlocking the next level of your life.

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.
