Feeling lost
Title: Navigating the Holidays with a Heavy Heart
Today, I’m filled with doubt and discouragement. The holidays are especially hard since I lost my dad right before Thanksgiving. Christmas will be lonely again. I worry I’ll never find the job or husband I deserve.
As the festive season approaches, I can’t help but feel the weight of my emotions more intensely. The joy and togetherness that others seem to effortlessly embrace only magnify my own sense of loss and isolation. My dad was my rock, my confidant, and losing him right before Thanksgiving has left a void that feels impossible to fill. Each year, as the holidays roll around, the pain resurfaces, and the loneliness becomes almost unbearable.
I’m trying not to cry, but the pain of losing my dad and the loneliness are overwhelming. I wonder if anyone would ever be interested in an autistic woman like me. I’ve always been independent, but I deeply crave the companionship I’ve missed for the past eight years. The world often feels like it’s moving forward without me, and I find myself questioning if I’ll ever find the job or husband I deserve.
Being autistic adds another layer of complexity to my feelings. While I’ve always prided myself on my independence, there’s a part of me that longs for a connection, for someone who understands and accepts me for who I am. The fear that my autism might be a barrier to finding love and companionship is a constant worry that gnaws at my heart.
The job market, too, feels like an insurmountable challenge. I know I have skills and talents to offer, but finding a position where I can truly thrive and be appreciated seems like a distant dream. The uncertainty of my future weighs heavily on my mind, adding to the overall sense of discouragement.
As I navigate these difficult emotions, I remind myself that it’s okay to feel this way. Grief and loneliness are powerful forces, and it’s natural to struggle with them, especially during the holidays. I try to hold onto the hope that things will get better, that I will find the job and the partner I deserve. But for now, I’m allowing myself to feel the pain and to acknowledge the depth of my emotions.
To anyone else out there who might be feeling the same way, know that you’re not alone. The holidays can be a challenging time for many of us, and it’s important to be gentle with ourselves. Let’s hold onto the hope that brighter days are ahead, even if they feel far away right now.

Getting rid of stuff I don’t need😅😅😅😅
What’s your #1 priority tomorrow?
Title: Clutter is the Worst! Time to Declutter and Simplify My Life!
Hey everyone!
I just had a major revelation, and I HAVE to share it with you all. You know that feeling when you look around your space and it just feels… chaotic? Well, I realized that clutter is the absolute WORST! Seriously, it makes you look so disorganized, and the crazy part is, I KNOW I don’t have that much stuff. So, what gives?
I think part of the problem is that we tend to collect way too much random stuff over time. You know, those little knick-knacks, old magazines, and clothes we haven’t worn in years. It’s like they sneak up on you and suddenly, BAM! Your space is overflowing with things you don’t even need or use.
So, here’s the plan: I’m going to get rid of all that unnecessary clutter. Yep, it’s time for a major purge! Why, you ask? Well, I’m planning to move back to California to be closer to my family, and the last thing I want is to drag a whole bunch of clutter with me. Moving is stressful enough without having to deal with boxes of stuff that don’t add any value to my life.
I mean, can you imagine stepping into a new place and immediately feeling overwhelmed by all the junk you brought along? No, thank you! I want a fresh start, a clean slate, and a clutter-free environment where I can truly relax and enjoy my new surroundings.
So, here’s what I’m going to do:
- Sort Through Everything: I’m going to go through every single item I own and decide if it’s something I truly need or love. If not, it’s outta here!
- Donate and Recycle: There are so many people out there who could benefit from the things I no longer need. I’ll be donating clothes, books, and household items to local charities. Anything that can’t be donated will be recycled responsibly.
- Adopt a Minimalist Mindset: Moving forward, I’m going to be super mindful about what I bring into my space. No more impulse buys or holding onto things “just in case.” If it doesn’t serve a purpose or bring me joy, it’s not staying.
- Organize What’s Left: For the items that do make the cut, I’ll be finding a proper place for everything. No more random piles or cluttered drawers. Everything will have a home, and I’ll be able to find what I need when I need it.
I’m so excited to embark on this decluttering journey and can’t wait to share my progress with you all. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by clutter too, why not join me? Let’s simplify our lives together and make room for the things that truly matter.
Stay tuned for updates and tips on how to declutter your space. Here’s to a clutter-free life and a fresh start in California!

What’s the trait you value most about yourself?
What I value
Today, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on a trait that I truly value in myself: being a great listener. In a world that often feels chaotic and overwhelming, there are so many people out there who just need someone to listen to them. Being that person who offers a compassionate ear can be incredibly powerful. When someone feels heard, it can lift a tremendous weight off their shoulders and provide a sense of relief and connection.
However, as I ponder on this, I realize that it’s not just one trait that defines us or makes us valuable. It’s the beautiful tapestry of multiple qualities that we possess. Kindness, compassion, generosity, and the ability to bring joy to others are all equally important. Each of these traits contributes to who we are and how we impact the world around us.
So, while I am proud of being a great listener, I also recognize the importance of celebrating all the other wonderful traits we hold dear. Let’s take a moment to appreciate and value the many facets of our personalities. After all, it’s the combination of these qualities that makes us unique and capable of making a positive difference in the lives of others.
