It has been a week of maturity.

Part of being an adult is learning to do things that are not preferably enjoyable but come with the responsibility of living independently, earning a living and navigating the community.

While it can be challenging to accept that life is not all about doing what is preferred, I am learning that I have to not let my anxiety override me as much and be open and accepting to doing things that deep down I know I have the ability to do if I put in the effort and just do what I need to do.

It is also breaking down more fear driven thoughts when connecting to others and being more of a friend when I know that connection is a valuable tool in my mental health recovery and well being that having natural supports can deliver.

Let’s keep on maturing.
