Good morning 💫 I always wanted to share part of my life with a larger group. I was trying to do that on Instagram for a moment… and it felt sooooo weird. Like I wasn’t good enough, because I couldn’t produce this perfect instagramy life.. plus it felt really fake, because there is all about attention and number of likes. 🤢 Plus… there it’s all about external life. Where you go, what you wear, how healthy/fancy you eat. (Show me one picture of a girl in her underpants, eating period food and watching some cheap drama..). And I would like to share my internal life. It’s much more colourful. My brain never stops working (un?fortunately) and it can be a curse but it can also be a blessing. Everything is matter of perspective anyway. And that’s easy to manipulate. Tell ‘them’ (uh, I’m getting polarised) that you need to do X to get love and they will do XYZ, just in case, because we all want to be accepted. I never chased public approval. Your case is probably similar? Not a good fit for a standard life? Black sheep, wandering: whaaaat the fuck is happening with this world? I feel you. Ps. I’ve chased approval throughout my life, but about that we will tak another time. Have a wonderful day ☀️

Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏🏼

Hi there! I’m Marzena. I live in Cyprus 12 years already (Wonderful place. If you’ve never been, I highly recommend! ☀️) Professionally I’m running www.business-support-agency.com which is a support ecosystem for founders. I’m also doing introductions, as there is nothing more fulfilling that seeing two parties going into fruitful cooperation. 🤝🏼 Personally I’m a neurodivergent person, which brings a lot of challenges to my life. I’m grateful for the opportunity to conquer them all! 😇 I’m the dog ownet (that big beast in the picture) and cat owner (10 or so 😛). I came here, because one wonderful person told me it’s the best place for people like me - who like freedom, free speech and believe in community. Thank you 💚 Feel free to connect with me, as I’m always open to interesting business or personal conversation. 🧠 Ps. This place feels safe for me to share (compare to traditional media), so I’m happy to be here and meet like minded people. 🙌🏻 #cyprus

What’s the hidden cost of your happiness? Every kind of well-being costs something. We just don’t talk about that part very often. As a neurodivergent person, I face these trade-offs almost every day. Low energy → I rest more. Which means work gets sacrificed. But my well-being stays. Meltdown → even more rest. More quiet. More tenderness toward myself. For a long time I thought this meant I was doing life wrong. Like everyone else had some manual I didn’t get. Now I see it differently. My system has different rules. If I ignore them, it gets expensive very quickly. So sometimes the trade-off is simple: Less productivity. More stability. And honestly, I’m starting to think everyone is making some kind of trade like this. Just not everyone is forced to see it so clearly. What’s the hidden cost of your happiness?
