Just want to share my life story in a video

What is good humour? What is funny? I believe we all should be free in expressing our craziness and truly live a life without fear when it comes to showing the world our quirkiness. It makes people stand out more and it's inspiring.
We don't need to have the same personalities and thoughts, only live in harmony and acceptance.
I allow myself to be weird and unique now when I know I'm neurodivergent and I feel more connected in my body and mind. I don't try and change who I am because I know it will make me miserable.
I'm so grateful for the Neurodivergent community and the empowerment I feel through the support we all give each other. We all have bad days and we can talk freely about it without feeling ashamed and that's beautiful!
I talk about my Turkish roots, learning a new language, writing songs again and nurturing my creative soul. I also talk about random things as usual!

It's so nice to listen to other autistic people. I feel less alone. I have been singing more and more. I sing in the car with my kids and also at home, and outside where other people can hear sometimes lol

Keep singing and do the things you love. I’ve started to dance more and I try not to overthink how I look, it’s very good to release your emotions.

I have been very hard on myself in the past when I have an interest and I get fully immersed. If I fail at it in some way, I beat myself up that I’m not doing it perfectly or as well as I want. Then I might stop doing that thing. I think sometimes I put up my own obstacles by doing that. It’s like I say to myself, “Because of this thing that everyone says I need to do I can’t do this thing the right way. So it’s not worth keeping doing it or starting.” I feel like that may not be your same experience. I’m not sure. I just thought I’d share my own experience with that.
It’s interesting about meltdowns and shutdowns. I think I only had them when I was an adult and moved out of my parents’ house. I think maybe that’s because I stopped stimming or having outlet. I’m not sure. Maybe I had them and don’t remember. I feel like as an adult I would start getting overwhelmed more often and not know why. Lately I’ve been rediscovering how to stim and preserve energy which is so difficult.
I am interested in Turkey. I was in Greece twice. I guess there can be some animosity with some parts of the culture between the two countries, which is unfortunate. I would like to go to Turkey but I’m not sure when I will travel again. It sounds so beautiful though. Learning a language is very hard for me. I have a hard time speaking English when I can’t think of what to say. I forget words. I think my way into learning language is the grammar. I took online classes in Greek which were very stressful for me sometimes. I can have basic conversations in Greek but I find it difficult to think of what to say or what words to focus on learning. I don’t know. I also don’t stay motivated because my interests have moved on and I don’t have people to talk to in Greek so that I can practice. And making new “friends” to do that is very difficult for me. Maybe it’s more barriers I’m setting for myself :)
Anyways, I know this was a bit rambling but I don’t know how to leave shorter comments on videos sometimes :)

[@isabellammusic]

I love to get long comments! Thank you for sharing! It’s exactly why I do this.
