I would definitely read a blog about that. I'll do my best to share this with friends.

I agree, especially when I have to ask, "Can you say that again" because it took me too long to focus on them. It's so disorienting.

I know this is a weird take, but I've always loved smelling new books.

A few hours - one of The Boxcar Children books (2014) (age 11)
1 week - one of the "Warriors" books (2016) (age 12)
Now I'm lucky if I finish one in a year.

I think if you look up "California tsunami", it'll show you a map. Please stay safe.

Between 10 and 14, I would read for hours every day. Now, at 21, I'm so depressed that I can barely pick up a book.

I can't wait to see the karma from that (the pearl-clutchers' karma, I mean).

Oh. Well, I'm disabled, and I live off of SSI and my mom helps a ton. I barely spend money because nearly all of it goes towards my therapy bills. I'm glad you were able to do that, though! That's really awesome.

I am so ashamed of America's history.

Aw that's incredible! Thank you so much for doing such hard work! I wish I could donate to charities, as it's been a lifelong goal of mine.

I've never heard of that phrase. I love it!

I went to a local library yesterday and found the "Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath", and it's amazing. I haven't felt this good about reading in years, but I didn't even know it existed until then.

I didn't, and I went to school in Massachusetts (US) in the 2010s.

Yup.

I'm not "divided in myself" on this issue. Yes, I apologize for my lack of clarity. "Temperament" is more correct, but my point still stands and I don't understand how medicine factors in to this. I may be autistic, but I'm not psychotic.

Yes, you can be "free from one's nature" by thinking about the consequences of what your nature is. There's never been a time where I've ever considered being a parent, so I can personally say that I am adhering to my own nature. The last part is freedom as long as you're willingly doing it.

The "Warriors" series by Erin Hunter, which I started when I was 10.

Fiddlesticks. They need homes so badly! I wish I had space to cheer them up. They deserve all the love in the world!

I'm confused since the freedom of not becoming a parent is absolutely possible through abortions and other forms of birth control. If people think they need them to continue existing, then who are we to say otherwise? ("We" meaning everyone else)
