I have a suggestion about the dry chicken and rice! If you cook your chicken in a little slow cooker and use the juice from the chicken to make the instant rice? It makes all the difference in the world!!! So tasty 😊 you can even cook your vegetables in there with the chicken!!! Then just strain the broth and add it to the rice once finished.

4:10 I definitely agree. Ive had two actual relationships, I think when it comes to giving and taking. You have to find the balance between the two, and its really hard to find that right balance and that someone who will also try and give and take, and who understands your opinions and feelings. I am currently single and its definitely hard sometimes especially thinking about the past relationships. Like yeah they ended for very much good reasons they would of never worked out for any much longer. but also those good memories were nice. I still struggle with self esteem. and Im still definitely learning about not quite literally being a push over so much xD. To me, if who im with is happy then Im happy. and so Im still learning that its okay for me to be happy even if it doesnt always make them happy? I shouldnt have to reduce my enjoyment just so they can be happy. It has definitely helped a lot that I have a few friends I can also talk to or them talk to me and we kinda go back and forth. I am very much an introvert and so its hard to find romantic partners. but Its definitely possible. currently Im just trying to focus on myself. my relationships were similar to yours in that. Yes my partner was toxic in the relationship but I also played a part in that toxicity whether either of us meant to or not. and so Im definitely focusing on my self and trying to be patent with life, and just going one step at a time. I havent been diagnosed with Autism yet. But my doctor thinks its a possibility so if I am. its definitely a challenge to work through. Anyways thank you for reading this long paragraph, and I hope youre doing well Soph. Life is hard but we keep moving forward because its all we can do ^-^

Honestly. music is such a big part of my life. Its hard for me to experience joy or enjoyment in life, and so music is one of the things that helps me feel happy or better when Im just stressed out. I honestly dont think I could live without music Im so glad theirs so much of it in the world and we have such easy access to it.

Experiencing autism, most of the days feel like stepping into a storm, navigating my child's meltdowns and searching for the right words in a world where communication so often fails us. The frustration brought by difficulties with speaking, miscommunication, laking of minimum attention level needed, the weight of it all, not to mention the added challenge of comorbidities, can sometimes feel overwhelming, right? As a matter of fact, in this profound struggle, I never imagined I'd find release like this. Guess what? It’s music. Crazy, isn’t it? I have never felt my self actually good enough, but when I was young I had my time, you know? Composing these dramatic songs has become my outlet, a way to pour out all the stress and pain in a process that's both cathartic and healing. I guess ... Blending the agony, abandonment, and contempt from every direction with these imperfect rhymes, sensitive melodies, and rhythms, channeling it all into an instrument. Each note lets me express what words can’t, attempting to capture the complexity and challenge of this harsh path. This is actually a tough, very critical, situation to truly understand unless you've walked in these shoes, you know what I mean? In many cases you end up find yourself being that one nobody cares about. That annoying thing, the unbearable, a nuisance, that some else will feel like tolerating. I don't really know whether or not it will make any sense to you. But I'm going to say anyway, for anyone else walking this tough road, take heart, you’re not alone. You know? Perhaps together, we can transform this struggle into something powerful. Do you know what I'm saying? Maybe it’s a naive dream, am I just deluding myself? Either way, let’s keep moving forward, one song, one step at a time.

"No one knows your mind and body better than you do" that's so true! I struggle a lot with my parents not understanding why I can't just DO things like they can. Or, why I get so anxious stressed and tired easily. If I try to explain how it feels to be in my body and my mind, and they think I'm crazy. That I'm overthinking things. Even when I suggested I wanted to see a doctor to maybe talk about being autistic and they just dont agree. It's a real struggle.

I'm sorry it's such a struggle and I'm sorry you are not getting the support and backing you need, I am very very fortunate to have a very understanding mother and step dad. Please don't ever let them make you think that you are crazy, everything you feel is valid and I know it's harder said than done but please be kind to yourself ♥️

I also forgot to mention how much I struggle to be alone in public spaces. It was only when I was around 19 that I finally ordered my own food even (though if i have to walk up to a cashier to order I still struggle). I live with my parents and so I always go with them anywhere. I still dont pay by myself (im abysmal at paying with cash) even. So you can imagine, that if I had to go to the movie theater by myself I'd be so anxious haha. I think it's awesome you at least tried! Also, if u want it to be quiet I do recommend going in the early morning if possible. I saw the Five Nights at Freddy's movie with my mom in the early morning and only a few teenagers were there. That made it way more bearable, but I still needed to recharge after. I also empathize with you about feeling useless and the routine. I have a routine as well, and I only go out once a week (i go with my fam to eat dinner). Anything else and it's hard on me to actually go out. I'll either be too anxious or it makes me super super tired. Usually both lol. I can only recommend that u let out your emotions in a safe place (for me, it's my room). And then to have patience with yourself. :)
@Sophiamargo97

This is very similar for me as well with regards for doing things myself in person and that's why I make going to McDonald's or getting food a big win for myself if I can do it, it's the small things for some but massive for us that we need to celebrate. Yeah I normally do the 10am showings but this movie had to be in the middle of the afternoon which is annoying... I wish more movies had autism friendly screenings! I'm glad you have your safe space to retreat back into, mine is also my room too 😊

Hello Soph! I saw your video recommended on my homepage. I heavily suspect I am autistic, but coming from a poor family my parents never got me evaluated (I live in America). I still can't despite being an adult cause I don't have a job yet and we don't have the funds. But, it's nice to see I'm not the only one with struggles despite how it makes me feel so bad about myself quite a lot. I loved your dogs, I have 3 dogs! Two little ones and one medium sized one. Your dogs are really cute! It's nice to just see you talk, and just be yourself. I really want to stream and share myself with the world to hopefully make people feel less alone. Since so many youtubers and streamers have done that for me. I'll definitely subscribe to your channel, and I hope you continue to make vids. Maybe u can record stuff u see, but that might be really nerve wracking cause of all the people and then having to carry a camera around. Anyway, glad I saw your video :)

Hi thank you for the kind words, I'm sorry you are struggling and I'm sorry it's so difficult for you to get evaluated but that's what these videos are for, to show anyone who is feeling the same but maybe feel lonely that there are others out here who struggle and hopefully we can build a community on here where we can help and support one another ♥️

I see your channel is brand new, so I wanted to pop in and say hello and that I look forward to watching more videos now that I'm subscribed.❤ Sending so much love to you!!❤ PS: I'm so proud of you for TRYING to go to the cinema. It's a step! I also seriously struggle going into public places and usually have to wait a bit in my car and I MIGHT be able to in. Usually when I have to go anywhere, I go with someone I trust if possible. It's not an easy thing to deal with and the "feeling useless", frustration, confusion, all the emotions, I feel that way too! IT'S NOT FUN. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. ❤❤
