By Hey guys! Long time no see!
I have been going through some stuff mentally and spiritually, and now I am back!
I want to talk to you guys about approval. It is something, as an Aspie, I have struggled with in the past. I was so obsessed with peoples’ approval of me that I would work so hard and push people away. My parents’ approval was the most important thing to me, and it still is, but it is in a more healthy way. Where before their thoughts were my thoughts and vice versa, I am now learning to think independently.
I’m learning that it is okay for my parents and I to disagree on stuff. This revelation comes from spiritual growth and prayer. It has taken four years to see that now. The only approval I need now is God’s.
So if you are struggling with approval, just know that God’s approval is all you need today!
Remember: God loves you and so do I!
