It's so hard to stay serious when I'm domming sometimes, cause theyll say something like "you're so hot" and I want to be like "!! wow really you think so? 🥺👉👈 hehehe x3c *blushing kicking my legs*"

Part of being cute and clumsy is all the fun little kisses you get in the kitchen from stoves and such

reminder to myself:

don't be hard on yourself if you need rest after doing a bunch of things - you use up a lot of spoons if you do many things and sometimes you borrow from the next day(s). so if you do a lot one day, but barely anything the next day - its okay. so it could look like: one active day, one rest day; one social day, one withdrawn day; one creative day, one "passive" day, etc.

and don't be hard on yourself for feeling sad/down on these more "passive" days - it's also okay. sometimes it's also the result of experiencing a bunch of positive emotions and experiencing a "drop" afterwards, which is normal, just how the brain works.

no need to overthink, look for reasons as to why you feel this way and try to dissect it, fixate on it, etc. let yourself be and let things be the way they are atm.

(easier said than done but still!)

Being autistic is like screaming through a megaphone “please don’t overwork me, i WILL explode” and everyone responds like haha well. You’ll get used to it over time :)

i hate to say it because i'm neurodivergent and a chronic-pain-haver but like... sometimes stuff is going to be hard and that's okay.

it's okay if you don't understand something the first few times it's explained to you. it's okay if you have to google every word in a sentence. it's okay if you need to spend a few hours learning the context behind a complicated situation. it's okay if you need to read something, think about it, and then come back to re-read it.

i get it. giving up is easier, and we are all broken down and also broke as hell. nobody has the time, nobody has the fucking energy. that is how they win, though. that is why you feel this way. it is so much easier, and that is why you must resist the impetus to shut down. fight through the desire you've been taught to "tl;dr".

embrace when a book is confusing for you. accept not all media will be transparent and glittery and in the genre you love. question why you need everything to be lily-white and soft. i get it. i also sometimes choose the escapism, the fantasy-romance. there's no shame in that. but every day i still try to make myself think about something, to actually process and challenge myself. it is hard, often, because of my neurodivergence. but i fight that urge, because i think it's fucking important.

especially right now. the more they convince you not to think, the easier it will be to feed you misinformation. the more we accept a message without criticism, the more power they will have over that message. the more you choose convenience, the more they will make propaganda convenient to you.
