 I know how hard, frustrating, and trying it can be at times. One of the biggest lessons I have learned is you can't stop dreaming just because things are hard. There are many ways that work for different people. Everybody's journey is different.
When I first got diagnosed at 12, I wasn't in a great place and had to get out of it. I have found that dreaming and thinking about what my future could be like keeps me going through the hard times. I just kept coming up with elaborate, crazy business ventures! I'm in a better place now, but everyday is still a learning process. I'm still learning what triggers me and what I need to do to cope. Also being in a better place, I have seriously looked into and researched thoroughly to figure out which ideas were profitable, and the blog won over all the other ideas. It's also the most attainable option because I can make small goals to achieve a few at a time. I'm still learning about the ins and outs of a blog. Besides writing, finding other interests I love keeps me on the right path and stops me from giving up. This kind of journey is not always easy as a teenager, especially in this day and age when there are what seems to be a lot of expectations from society. There are definitely ups and downs. The point is, no matter where you are in your journey, don't forget that what might seem impossible is still possible. You just might need more help and tools along the way. Depending on your personality, you'll want to try to do everything yourself and not ask for help. Spoiler alert! It doesn't always work out. Sometimes you just need to ask for help no matter how hard it may seem. Comment down below what has helped you get through the tough times.

This is a great post! I struggle with asking for help all the time! It's hard when you want to be independent, and do everything yourself! I have to remind myself that asking for help does not mean that I am weak or incapable - and I think it really makes the people helping me feel good to contribute to whatever I am trying to do at the time.

Thank you so much! Exactly, wanting to be independent makes it hard to ask for help. Those are good words to live by and I'll have to remember them. It's amazing that she was brave enough to go on America's Got Talent.
