Focus And Changing Direction (Sooner Rather Than Later)
Talk about making mistakes!
And, just because you spent a long time making one!
This post is about how I am learning to change direction a little sooner than I have in the past (by having better focus).
Lately, I have been thinking about my time in school. From K-12 to 4 years of college.
And, what keeps coming up is how I missed key lessons due to having social and mental health issues.
So, I have learned that my focus (or lack thereof) is what has dictated my success (or failure) within a given period of my education.
I am upset because we shouldn’t live in a world of bullying, mental illness, and home problems.
But, we do.
Dammit we do!
And, it sucks.
What kind of adverse situations did you grow up in?

He/Him. I write #poetry and #blog about #mentalhealth. We are only here for a sliver of time #lifelonglearner #helper #schizoaffective. Opinions are my own.
I’m one of the lucky ones who didn’t have much in the way of adversity growing up.

That’s a good deal! Mental illness knows know bounds when it comes to destruction though! As you know…

Wow, I’m not sure where to start Mio. Dad hitting mum, them splitting up then getting back together again and splitting finally. Moving around a lot, lots of different schools, being bullied. I won’t bore you lol.

No, I’m sorry that you (and your mother) had to deal with trauma. It’s difficult out there. And, people make it more so!
