In my life there have been many times that I wallow in feelings including self-pity, anger, frustration and others. There are also thoughts of wanting to give up, but I also know that I can be a much better person because at times I have the power to be quite an astonishing person. https://dustinsdynastyusa.com/2023/08/17/being-the-one-they-know-i-am/

Even if I am in a continued state of progress, it is at times to realize that I am in that state of making strides towards bettering myself. Even if my brain thinks things to the contrary, there is plenty of proof otherwise that outweighs the contrary. https://dustinsdynastyusa.com/2023/08/16/wellness-wednesday-knowing-you-are-succeeding/

Something that I know that sometimes hits too close to home for me and is known among those closest to autistic people is the unique paradigm of how we treat those that love us the most. Despite all the love, it can be quite connective, yet it can be also the most taxing for the loved ones. https://dustinsdynastyusa.com/2023/08/15/reflections-the-dearest-love-is-hurt-the-most/

Many times, when I hear something that is unpleasant or is not something that I want to hear, don’t want, so forth. I may often immediately jump to conclusions thinking things that are not valid without considering all the reasons that something is the way that it is. https://dustinsdynastyusa.com/2023/08/14/adulting-thinking-things-through/

There are times in our lives that as much as we want to be able to change things, we just can’t do that. We must accept things even as they may be challenging for us and manage them the best as we can because we have to accept that we do not always have control of everything in our lives. https://dustinsdynastyusa.com/2023/08/10/accepting-challenging-situations/

Recently, it has seemed like life has breezed by for one reason or another. I am at a good point in my life But deep down it can be hard to accept that I have indeed made the progress that I have made and to for once be proud of myself for the achievements that I had made. https://dustinsdynastyusa.com/2023/08/09/wellness-wednesday-being-proud-of-my-progress/

Recently, in life finding happiness has come quite easily for one reason or another because I guess I have just chosen to radically accept what is in my life, even if it may be challenging due to things out of my control. I just make due and manage in the outside world because I feel safe in my inside world. https://dustinsdynastyusa.com/2023/08/08/reflections-finding-happiness/
