neurodivergence - "you are not something that needs to be fixed, you are only something that needs to be understood."
I came across this Instagram post that resonated very deeply 🍂✨
“I have this core belief that if we used nature to describe ourselves again we would be so much better off.
Instead of saying “she has ADHD, we could just say “oh she carries the spirit of the wind”
Or if you’re emotionally unstable, we could say “oh she carries the sprit of the ocean”
Or maybe you’re an introvert and we could say “oh she carries the spirit of the oak, she just likes to observe.”
If you’re anxious, we could say “oh she carries the spirit of the bird, she sees the things we don’t”
Or maybe if we’re depressed we could say “oh we carry the spirit of the stars, we like to sit in the dark because it’s where we see the most”
When you start to describe yourself this way, you will understand that you are not something that needs to be fixed, you are only something that needs to be understood.
We don’t look at the trees and expect the trees to act like the ocean, or expect the ocean to act like the birds.
They all have their own qualities and they all are the way that they are because they serve a purpose.
And you serve a purpose as well, exactly as you are right now."
