My week... Pushing myself too hard?

If there's one thing I'm sure we'll agree on, it's that someone may look composed, but be going through utter chaos inside (at least I do, as an Aspie trying to survive in an NT world). But you know what? I have a feeling a lot of people do that, spectrum or not.

I've been guilty of setting up goals that, looking back, were not realistic with what I could bear, and I've felt guilty about it too.
But as you said: outside circumstances you couldn't foresee or control, so you're really not to blame for not keeping with your plan.

How did the pictures come out, btw?

I know what you mean, once during the week I ran into a guy who I know as a pro photographer, chatted briefly, he purchased the same pass but also had the week off, so I know he would have spent far more time there, I only got about 300 photos on grounds over my three visits, that's not enough for my standards.

A couple of photos since you asked

I understand. I'd feel the same as you, and I'm used to beating myself up thinking I didn't get enough done... which is how I know that sometimes we hold ourselves to standards that are too high for what our sensory issues, anxiety, fatigue & other aspects will allow. That and the X factor (temperatures, work, you name it).

I like your eye. I'm on the app tonight, so I can't see from clicking on your profile if you have media uploaded here, but you might want to try to share some more in an album?
