Finding Myself: Healing After Feeling Misunderstood

People have told me I should get “tested” for ADHD, that I “act autistic,” and that I don’t fit into their idea of normal. It hurt more than I let on, making me feel misunderstood and alone. For a long time, I hid my feelings, pretending to be okay. But I’ve realized that I don’t need anyone’s approval to be myself. Healing isn’t about proving people wrong—it’s about accepting myself fully. If you’ve ever felt out of place, know this: you are enough, just as you are.

Let us remember our roots and extend a helping hand to those who follow, for in lifting others, we elevate ourselves and shape a future founded on compassion and collaboration.
