The past week has been quite challenging for me. I’ve been struggling with feelings of profound sadness, akin to a heavy darkness that stubbornly lingers in the depths of my soul. I’ve been battling what feels like the most intense depression I’ve ever experienced. It’s been tough, but I’m gradually starting to feel a bit more hopeful, like I can almost catch a glimpse of brighter days ahead.

I decided to take a break today from rebuilding my blog. Instead, I chose to relax and focus on knitting socks for my grandson, whose birthday is just around the corner. Although I made some progress, I wasn’t really in the right headspace. However, a few hours spent video chatting with a close friend turned out to be incredibly uplifting. We shared our frustrations about life and dove into an array of odd and interesting topics – the kind of conversation that’s truly therapeutic.

For dinner, I had a simple salad but found it hard to focus on anything. Thankfully, I found a delightful distraction in TikTok. Despite mixed opinions about the platform, I personally find it captivating. It suits my A.D.D. mind perfectly, offering a diverse mix of content that’s endlessly entertaining. While scrolling, I came across a woman demonstrating how to crochet Irish Lace, and it was love at first sight. I was eager to see what else she had to share.

And then, it hit me when I heard her say, “Tell Your Story…..” It resonated with me deeply. She’s definitely someone I feel a connection with.
