The Neurodivergent Experience:

Anybody else feel like they have zero ambitions in life, you just wanna feel loved

one day you're going to have to live for youself, so why not now? just say fuck it and do what makes you happy.

“I am angry. We should all be angry. Anger has a long history of bringing about positive change. But I am also hopeful, because I believe deeply in the ability of human beings to remake themselves for the better.” - Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, We Should All Be Feminists

“Having a soft heart in a cruel world is courage, not weakness.”

— Katherine Henson

Kissing you didn't feel like fireworks or explosions or like the sun was burning in my soul. But it did feel calm, and safe, and right. The world was spinning around me and it suddenly fell into place. And I think that's so much better.

Congratulations to the couple people on my dash who recently got vaccinated despite needle phobias. You did an important thing to protect yourself and others even though it’s scary for you, and I think that’s pretty awesome. 💜👍🏽
