I don’t particularly care what other people think of me anymore.

I have ADHD, Asperger’s Syndrome and OCD and I lost a lot of people who I thought were my friends after they found out I had disabilities and it hurt at the time and made me feel like a freak but when I look back at those days now my Sister was right about me being better off without those people and I can’t believe I let it get to me because I was just letting them win. I spent so many years hiding who I was and trying to fit in and be ‘normal’ because I was worried what other people would think of me if they found out I was different but now I only care about the people who are dearest to me like my wife, my sister, my children, my cousins and my friends because I know they love me for who I am.

I choose to focus on the good things in life and I think other people should do the same thing because life is too short to surround yourself with negativity.
