This is so very true

The average person has no idea how hard it is to qualify. How dehumanizing the process can be. How much you have to sacrifice & give up.
It’s designed to make you quit.

I’m looking for book recommendations. Futuristic sci fi that’s not dystopian and no romance. Is there such a thing? #books #scifi #recommendations #reading

As a #neurospicy person I struggle if I unintentionally piss someone off or upset them and they don’t tell me what I’ve done so I can try and not be neurospicy next time. I’m sure I also think I’ve annoyed people when I haven’t. My brain lies to me all the time.
