Well, it's been almost three months since I published on this blog. Writing has taken a bit of a back seat whilst I am focusing on other things, but I still like to delve into it now and again.
Actually, it's a bit of a lie that writing as a whole has taken a back seat. My own writings and musings have done, whilst I'm in a big phase of transition. I'm not sharing anywhere near as much personal stuff on social media as I used to. My higher self has kind of given me a mandate as such. There's a lot of lessons I'm learning during this phase of life, and I will share more once I am out the other side. However, I am doing a proofreading course, so I am studying the subject of writing. I have always been pretty good with spelling and grammar, however, there is so much I've learnt already, even less than halfway through the course.
I followed my inner guidance to sign up for that course, and got a very good deal for it. I'm also following my hunches for other forms of education. There is, however, still a great deal of uncertainty in my life. I'm kind of glad I'm going through it now, as the world is changing at a rapid pace. It is hard, though. Things are happening a lot more slowly than I'd like. My finances are still a mess. My life as a whole is still a bit of a mess, and I'm still a bit traumatised from the brutal hell I went through last year. There are many occasions when I feel frustrated and the mission that I have to rebuild my life seems like a herculean task.
The job market is a huge challenge at the moment. I'm at a point in life where I know I have to branch out and stop working in jobs that are completely out of alignment with my soul, but I certainly could do with more money coming in whilst I make some big changes.
ADHD kicks my butt a lot of the time. Sometimes I think that life has given me a crazy amount of obstacles and trauma to overcome, so that I can help others. I would never have consciously chosen my life path, it really has been pure craziness at times. There's a lot of mental health related posts that I'm seeing at the moment, and I completely understand why some people choose to take their lives. It could easily have been me.

I was at the lowest point I could possibly get, in fact lower than I thought I could possibly get without dying. I actually did pretty much die, somehow not physically, but I was certainly dead inside. There was never going to be a quick way of getting out of it.
The only way I was going to be able to make the rest of my life count was to think and dream as big as I could, and take as much action as I could. I have been learning about neurodiversity and it's become more clear about how that has played out in my life. It was as if I'd been trying to run with heavy weights. Now that I am a bit more aware of my brain function, things are a bit clearer, but a lot of damage had already been done. I just have to make the best of what resources I have.
At the moment, I'm going through a bit of a lone wolf stage. Being separated from the people who I had been doing life with for the past 2–3 years was really difficult, and I've a feeling this will be restored and that I will be back where my soul feels most at home, before too long. It was important to come back to Dorset to do a bit of healing, and there are some truly wonderful people in the local communities, but I still feel that I don't really belong here.
I had some very rocky foundations pre-2024, and it's no wonder that my life collapsed like a back of cards. I would advise anyone to learn about finances and how to manage them, learn about themselves and what vocation suits them, and deal with trauma. To end up where I did is not a path I would recommend to anyone. Neurodiversity really can cause a huge amount of suffering if it is not addressed in good time.
To be continued ..
Peace and love.
