"The way we experience the world, some people talk about it as like, the bottom up versus top down, if you know what I mean when I say that. So for neurodivergent people to understand the bigger picture, we need to understand how all the tiny details kind of fit together, and then we get it.
But a neurotypical person, typically has that top-down, so they already... their brains have already filtered out when they think is important, and then they drill down to like, the essence of it. And essentially that's what you're doing in your therapy, the therapist is trying to help you get to like, the crumbs, to really try and understand that detail. But our brains are already working like that. So quite often we end up being in therapy, we might have therapists say: oh you're very self-aware...
But the reality is that we're going to therapy because we're overwhelmed. There's just too much information, and we're trying to simplify and make sense of something. Whereas traditional therapy does it completely the opposite way. Which can actually lead us to, like, ruminations, feeling stuck on that kind of loop of just getting nowhere and not feeling any better."

this feels really surreal, i kind of had to unlearn myself and learn myself again in order to make this album. it’s the one i’m most proud of thus far in my life. it’s the one i hope you listen to and feel like we were hanging and confiding in each other for an hour. me and the mic were like this the whooole time 🤞🏻 i never thought i would finish it because it was really scary to close the chapter. but i closed it so you can open it! and i hope you do. and i hope you love it. the way i have for so long.
couldn’t have made it without some of the most special souls🤍
rant over for nooow please stream this shit a lot if u don’t mind it took me years to make lol
And everything that that means. I know we can never have children. That is a great sadness. But everything else: to love and to cherish and to have and to hold, according to God's holy ordinance.

dump of old + new art bc none of it quite needs its own post but i like it anyway 😎
btw the second one is cassie and kon as bill and ted (of excellent adventure fame) bc i just think that movie would be so life changing for them and i think they would be heartbroken that that prom scene never made it to the final cut (<- projection)
These ten roles, and many more, are only some of the reasons we love Faye. Proud to say it started from the very beginning of her professional career and is still going strong. Can't wait to see what she has in store for the next ten.
