Don’t call me resilient. I just dissociate with excellent timing.

skin is not supposed to be perfectly smooth and clear and unblemished. it’s literally like 5 sq ft of organ that’s ENTIRELY ON THE OUTSIDE OF YOUR BODY. it’s supposed to protect you and your organs and your muscles and ligaments etc. without skin that can adapt we would all be riddled with infections and pain. even “imperfect” skin loves you and doesn’t want you to suffer. be nice to it . it is your friend

Haiku July, Day 9

[cdd-safe-haven]

I love the people in my life that support my dignity to risk and understand that helping me make bad choices in a safer way is better than getting pissed at me.

My friends do not like the fact i go on walks. I leave school (<- fully allowed to) to walk around the fields behind school to calm down and regulate myself. This isn't the smartest thing to do because I am at risk for medical episodes or just fucking walking into traffic. But they have a proper go at me for it so I just don't tell them anymore.

And I get why. However, they don't seem to understand all the stuff I have in place to keep me safe, including but not limited to, certain people being able to check my location, multiple forms of ID (state and medical), stuff in my bag, etc. And they don't understand that I'm allowed to take risks even as a vulnerable person (even if the risk taking is a bit more controlled.)

But my SEND person sat with me for a few minutes with google maps earlier today after I told her I need to go on a walk, and showed me a better route that i can walk which is still An Escape but is a bit more accessible and closer to civilisation in case something happens. A very nice route too, might I add. It's still far away from noise and houses and you can't hear the road, but it's never more than about 500m from a road.

And actually something did end up nearly happening today which I'm not ready to talk about but it would have been a hell of a lot worse if I hadn't chatted to her about where to walk and stuff.

So yeah. Dignity of risk is cool.

Not looking for advice on my situation – like I said, I have a lot of support irl.

Sorry about the rant I'm just SO sick of this "we have to be on all the time never look away if you aren't upset about politics and traumatizing yourself watching people die on Twitter you're wrong and complicit and evil" like I know things are fucked and we need to stay angry but we can do that while also taking a minute to crack open a cold one with the boys or have gay sex or get tipsy at the line dance, we HAVE to have joy to remember why the fuck we're refusing to give up in the first place. Fight like hell for your loved ones and then also go home with them to smoke weed and drink sweet tea and make biscuits covered in honey and butter please, please don't deprive yourself of joy, you're allowed to be happy BEFORE the work is done. You're allowed to be happy.
