Are you looking for ways to simplify your life? Your answer is yes? Thank you. Me too. I am always on the lookout for ways to make my life uncomplicated. I think it’s important for my mental health.
It is even harder because you can‘t see what is wrong. I know. There is no broken arms, head in bandages, swollen eyes, or legs covered in stitches for you to see and be reminded of the discomfort the person must be in.

Cheers to all kindred spirits who refused to conform to society definition of who they are and who they should be. You got a friend in me. I am with you. I am one of you. I am proud of my individuality.
Do what makes you really happy. Take time out to just relax. Listen to uplifting music. Dance like no man business. Draw, paint, do puzzles, play board games. Pray. Meditate. Do yoga. All I am saying is do what relaxes you. If you don’t know what you like, what better time to find out than now? Just do something for you.
To really understands how it works you have to be in the same situation or similar situation. There are days that the pain is just too much that I just stay in bed and cry. There are days that the pain is manageable and I get things done. Either way the pain is always present.
