For starters, just to say it. I've been seeking therapy for the past couple of days. Both to help with the severity of my Autism, as well as various other disorders including, but not limited to, anxiety, depression, explosive temper and suicidal thoughts. For the past 26 years I've been able to keep a lid on it, even letting things go here, made it less stressful, but even then I was at the point where things were getting worse for me and I realized I couldn't fight this battle alone. That being said, rest assured I am ok, because a lot of good news.

For context, I mentioned before I'm Canadian, specifically in the Greater Toronto Area. At one point a friend of mine showed me a part of Downtown Toronto, that I never once explored that I know of. It was called The PATH. The PATH is an underground walkway originally built in 1900, at The Eaton Centre back when it was called Eaton's Department Store. It was meant as a means for Torontonians, both Residential and Business, to walk the streets of Toronto, without ever worrying about getting caught in the elements. Be it rain storms or snow storms. To this day the Path is now literally almost everywhere in Toronto and still being built. Because it became so popular it basically became the equivalent to an Underground City of stuff, from fast food restaurants to other departments located right under the respective buildings.

I explored Downtown on occasion, including but not limited to seeing Evil Dead The Musical, on my 17th birthday....So much fake blood.

Anywho, while many old timers knew a great deal about The PATH, I never even heard of it until a few days ago. Once I did, the explorer in me, whom took his cues from Link, Red, Ness and other popular exploring Nintendo Characters, travelled there the first chance I got. I managed to make it to City Hall and The CN Tower within the span of 3 hours. If I was lost I'd talk to security or anyone that's walked The PATH longer than I have. Needless to say I was amazed. It was like I walked into a whole different world. I have yet to explore the rest of it, but I managed to cover a lot of ground in that travel.

While I was downtown, I was recommended the day before that I go to a specific therapy group. One that catered to Native Culture, so needless to say I went. When I went there, not only was I able to sign up right away, but they even gave me the tools necessary to help me apply for status. Even giving me a smudging kit for my troubles....minus the Cedar. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it as the therapy was the higher priority. But essentially, I am on the steps of getting better and truth be told, walking The PATH helped me a lot.

So if you live in Toronto or are visiting from afar, I recommend that you take a tour on The PATH. It may just be a fun place to tour or like myself, a life changing experience.

Take care stay safe, stay tuned for more.
