Journey of Curiosity
Five years changed everything—friendships, family, work, identity. This isn’t a polished list of life lessons, it’s just me trying to make sense of the quiet chaos. From feeling alone in crowded rooms to questioning what’s real within myself, this is a personal reflection on the parts of life that don’t always get spoken out loud. Not answers—just honest fragments I’m still piecing together.
High-functioning autism is a paradox—struggling with emotions, social cues, and sensory overload while being “smart enough” to mask it. Many never realize they need help, believing their struggles are personal failures. Years pass in silent exhaustion, misread and misunderstood. But the truth is, they were never broken—just navigating a world that never showed them who they truly are. Understanding that is the first step to truly existing.
A reflection on Diwali’s fleeting lights, capturing the quiet beauty of shared moments in the dark. For those who feel a little apart, it’s a reminder that sometimes, just being there…observing the brief, bright sparks…is enough. This festival of light can offer a gentle sense of connection, even in solitude.
