In My Life. Content Warning.
We have been asked to "Share a transformative moment from your mental or emotional journey" and to be honest, I have had several in my life, so I will share a few that have happened to me and either changed my beliefs or strengthened them. As time passes, we should learn from things and use them to help ourselves move forward.

Change is a Part of Life
In the Sonapur village, the old mango tree was casting a shadow as the sun set. The slender dirt road where Rohan used to play was bathed in golden light. Now, years later, he was returning after a long time, a stranger to the place he once called home.

The Mental Spiral. AI-Generated.
First off, let me welcome you to my writing. I want to say that it’s incredibly brave of you to openly reflect on your emotional challenges. So many people face similar struggles, and having that kind of self-awareness is the first step toward healing and growth. The intense feelings of shame and guilt you experience after these emotional spirals are more common than we realize. It’s hard not to be hard on ourselves, especially when we feel like we should have been able to manage things better.

Girls with Autism and Why Society Missed Them
Years ago I had a theory about why there is so much violence among men and boys. Informed by my education in cultural anthropology and my own imagination, I theorized that the male human was still being affected by their evolutionary need to fight to protect the “tribe.” As such, in spite of humanity coming to a place where we should be able to “all get along,” boys and men found meaning in being part of a cohesive group of some kind, including gangs. The violence of gangs, MMA fighters, boxers, and other groups against one another was a release of this inherent need to fight; anger built up because there is no other type of release available other than these.

The “Disability Effect”
I saw this video the other day in a Facebook group I belong to. The group, Cultural Autism Studies at Yale, (CASY) a semi-private Facebook group for CASY/ Cultural Autism Studies at Yale, founded by Roger J. Jou MD, MPH, PhD is a psychiatrist and researcher at Yale University specializing in autism. One of the administrators is Dawn Prince-Hughes, author of Songs of the Gorilla Nation: My Journey through Autism. This book was instrumental in helping me as I learned about the “disorder” my son had recently been diagnosed with over twenty years ago. As I read it, little bells rung in the back of my mind regarding my own experiences, but I paid no attention because her life was so very different from mine.

The Luminous Grove
The night was alive with an otherworldly glow. As Aiden stepped cautiously through the dense woods, his breath hitched at the sight before him—a colossal ancient tree standing at the heart of a meadow, its roots sprawling like the veins of the earth. But what truly stole his breath away were the tiny, glowing fungi that surrounded its base, illuminating the ground with a mesmerizing blue hue.
