Anxious people can have a hard time staying motivated, period, because their intense focus on their worries distracts them from their goals.

I found a reddit post on how to do this....
I come to realize that I've been holding onto lot of things, it is straining me, and my mental health, I've been feeling side effects of it, and it's affecting, my other life choices, so, I have decided to let things go. Focusing on what I have rather than what I had, Gone is long gone and cannot come back, It is reality and I've accepted that. Gone is my ability to multitask, And handle all things at once, So I've decided to focus on one task at most, Gone is my attitude to be carefree, So I've decided to be a little bit silly, with my friends and those whom I trust, Gone is my self positivity and confidence that I had, So I've decided celebrate little milestones I reach, Nothing is permanent in this world, So why would some things stay for almost forever, I can't keep holding onto things that are straining me, So I've decided to let things go, in order to archive peace.

Something I started just after Alone at Sea, taking place some time before Gem Hunt. A little darker than my usual fare! I hope ya’ll still enjoy it.
It’s ironic, isn’t it? Distancing yourself from the one who came closest to your soul.

*covered in blood & in visible distress* i just need to write a list
Definitely needed to read this today...
“After a while you learn the subtle difference Between holding a hand and chaining a soul, And you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning And company doesn’t mean security. And you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts And presents aren’t promises, And you begin to accept your defeats With your head up and your eyes open With the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child, And you learn to build all your roads on today Because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans And futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight. After a while you learn… That even sunshine burns if you get too much. So you plant your garden and decorate your own soul, Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure… That you really are strong And you really do have worth… And you learn and learn… With every good-bye you learn.”
— Jorge Luis Borges, You Learn
look what you made me do
Here's my grass is greener type thought but I wish I was the kind of neurodivergent who wasn't always aware of so many social cues. Ignorance can be truly bliss in terms of socializing.
