Taking stock

2020-12-10

Sometimes it is important to stop and take stock of how far you have come and what kind of lessons you have learned along the way…

There are days that I cringe remembering things that I have said or done in some social situations – socially awkward at the best of times, being ADHD (so scattered and not always ‘thinking” in the moment) I didn’t necessarily always think through everything before I spoke. This has meant that at times I have inadvertently hurt people without meaning to. I’d like to think that I am generally better at this than I used to be – for the most part because nowadays I usually tend to try and just keep my mouth shut unless I am completely sure about the topic, audience and context these days.

But I still have my moments like everyone else. So it’s good to keep in mind that often we have no idea what struggles other people really have going on.
