Documenting who I am so I can figure it out. Still not sure at 40. Just sick of all the masking. Maybe I'll see a pattern. So this is a journal, I suppose.
I don't understand how my cat can just exist. And be so cute. And that's all he does. Exist. #CatsOfBlueSky #Cats

I'm not going to hide pieces of myself just for your comfort. Not anymore.

It makes me so uncomfortable that microdosing mushrooms is the only way that works to shake off the melancholy.
Sometimes I wait months. But to be a productive member of society, requires it at the moment.
One day I'll find a more lasting solution without external substances.

Light tends to give me such glimmers.
The way drops of water hanging from the bare honeylocust twigs can catch the pinks and oranges of a dawn light not even yet risen.
Like little stars amongst dark branches.
They see the light before I do.

Today, I stepped out onto the balcony. A long black dress with no sleeves. It's cold. About 2°C. The fog hovering through the trees. My long hair not even up in a bun. Just down. A moment of silence. Then a flock of Jackdaws fly up over my head.
Like an invitation,
pulling me into the forest.

It's unnerving thinking about how our dislikes and likes are influenced by others.
At the end of the day, it feels like our #authenticity is more about the *consent* of influence rather than forming ideas ourselves.
Is this #psychology or #philosophy? Sometimes the line seems smudged.

Learning how to exist without the constant vigilance of productivity is bonkers. I really have no idea how. #Anxiety #Scapegoat #NoRelaxOnlyDo

I wish I could paint #surrealism. It's such another level of symbolic creativity. #ArtSky
I have some ideas. Maybe I could pick up the brushes again. But do I have the patience anymore?

I fully believe that the scene in "The Addam's Family" where Morticia is cutting off the rose heads is a nod to the opening scene of Theda Bara in "A Fool There Was". 1915. One of the first screen fem fatale "vamps" and mystery icons.

Saw the first pied wagtail in the garden today. Usually they only get here in March. It's odd to see. #ClimateChange

Sometimes I feel like we strive to have the same qualities in ourselves, as adults, as those we needed to feel safe as children but were denied growing up.
Growing up to be who we needed then.

The way the crocuses and narcissus reach their green fingers out of the freshly melted snow.
A bit of a betrayal, this false spring. I know we are about to have a second winter.
I hope they are up for it.

I've been through it. I've been through it all. Seriously.
And even though I have been through so many acts others would dub as "evil" and have been ripped asunder in every way imaginable,
I still feel people are hurting rather than inherently bad.

Meaning doesn’t come from fixing the self.
It comes from allowing the self to exist as it is.

I love #folklore studies so freaking much. It's like escape from reality, understanding human nature at the deepest levels, AND learning more about your Self all at once. Anthropology, psychology, sociology, plus fun, epic stories... all rolled into one.

Why do most of the #neurodivergent people I know have chronic health issues. Like. PCOS, EDS, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus.... it's like the early development focused on the mind and totally forgot about building a solid body. 🫠

Like REALLY niche subjects would be awesome for this.
There should be an Internet rule similar to #rule34. Like " #rule42: If it exists, there are #neurodivergent people who are obsessed with every aspect of it, thus making them a gold mine of #information about it."

How do friendships work.
Do you all have some sort of calendar set up where you go, "Check-In with Fred -> repeat every 3 weeks."
I swear I could know a pretty cool person for years but completely forget they exist for months.

The fact that I was early diagnosed in the middle of the triple ven diagram of Gifted, Autistic, and ADHD is why I have so many 8th house placements 🫠🙃 #astrology
