at this point, I'm not sure which is worse: someone seeing your world and judging it harshly or ignoring it completely just to get what they want

it took death, of my family, my past, who I thought I was, to finally get the space to give life to who I am
it isn't less lonely, it is, however, liberating beyond what I was taught I deserved
to live is an act of rebellion; to exist, this belongs to me
this is something I can fight to protect 💜

saw a thing that said 9 out of 10 times a bad day can be solved by going to bed
the 10th time is fixating on random shit at 3am, way more satisfying and I have no circadian rhythm 🫠

people quickly pick what to eat, but choose, often carefully, where to live: whether it's friendship or romance, make sure you're aware the difference 💜

adhd people and autistic people often get along well; in the same person, not so much
the sad part is when adhd catastrophic withdrawal meets autistic traumatic avoidance: everything that connected the two feel at more odds, lonely and guilty than ever
whether between us or in one's own self 😕💜

part of confidence isn't convincing others you know what you're doing, it's admitting when you don't
the other part is laughing about how silly you are for being such a boldass goose

overheard a father tell his kid he loves being their dad
I felt tears well up, my stomach quake
when my father took his life a few months ago, I felt anger and betrayal
my loss occurred not in an instant, but over many years
grief hits different when they failed at being someone you'd miss

if you want a good connection in friendship and love, authenticity will seem counterproductive, until you realize how many of the wrong ones are no longer wasting your time
being genuine is a quiet warning and a bold invitation into your life, and those who don't accept are no longer a concern

for years, I was frustrated and stuck between 'I didn't know how good it was until I lost it' and 'I didn't realize how bad it was until I left'
fear used to split what I believed I wanted versus what I thought I deserved
until I quit being careful and started being intentional 💜

the biggest shock of my autistic experience would be this: I am NOT an innocent
I have survived horrific treatment and violence; I've had relationships and sex, sought and liked both; been through the darkest parts of nightlife, and all that entails
my kindness, my softness is a •choice•, period

my autistic anxiety means I can go from calmly taking control of an emergency situation, with poise and grace, to clenching every muscle in sweat and terror just waiting in line for a corndog

to think, l've officially outlived my entire bio-fam; from their violence, drugs/booze to taking their lives, it feels like a dark curse has been lifted and my light has remained brightly lit even when I wished it didn't
for once, I can breathe, I can see so much life in front of me 😩💜

body dysmorphia: every metric, number, image, reflection and validation could be correct and there's still something punishably, viscerally wrong
you know other people convinced you your worth, and made you believe it
you're left with remnants of what you know is lovable, but want to destroy it
