Absolutely!

I think any time you feel comfortable thinking about it is the right time. Whether it's on break or while classes are going, you'll be doing something now that will help you in the long run. It's ok if it's scary or exhausting, that's perfectly normal. Just do what you feel is right for you!

You're very welcome, @clemelemental.bsky.social! It's easy to lose focus of others when we've got our own lives to keep track of. Sometimes a gentle reminder is all we need. 🙂

I believe that with that mindset you're already on the right track to having a better Winter this year. You've got this!

@Maike you make the Soo sound AMAZING! I'd like to visit there one day as that's one side of Ontario I've yet to explore. Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience!

You did a good job on this post, @Ryan! Great advice, by the way. I agree that participating in school events is a fabulous way to connect with younger classmates and helps take some of the pressure off if you're a bit shy. 👍

Having lived near Niagara Falls most of my life, I forget that people have never seen it before. lol I'm glad that you enjoyed this natural wonder! Did you know that some consider Niagara Falls to be the 8th "Wonder of the World"? It's also one of the "Seven Natural Wonders of North America"!

Very good post and wonderful message, Arajah! I think outgrowing people is a perfectly normal thing and not always a bad thing.

Thanks for sharing, Thomas, very interesting read! My curiosity has gotten me into trouble before, but thank goodness not like it did for the Curies or Tut's finders.

Thank you, Avanish! If nothing else, I really do hope that people will remember to be more kind and patient with themselves and to not give up.

Thank you Ayush! I hope that by being open and honest about my own struggles and challenges others learn that it's ok to struggle and that everyone does it, so they don't internalize it as something negative. It can be a great learning opportunity.

Oh the possibilities! It's easy to go down a rabbit hole with this topic. 🐰

Thank you, Karanveer! I'm glad that you find them helpful! Sometimes doing little things can make a big difference and help more than you think.

I'm sorry you've had similar experiences, Ryan, but I'm glad you've found something that works! Changing my environment usually works for me, too, if the other methods fail me.
