…am I one of the only people who writes fics without editing after completion….

because I almost never edit unless a continuity error occurs to me — or something I realize I forgot to add in

Notable moment from the fam visit: my niece really wanted me to put makeup on her, and was pretty good about holding still and being patient while I put it on! but! as is to be expected, smeared it all around her face very quickly. so she was running around for most of the day looking like a party girl wearing yesterday’s makeup

my girlfriend helped me cut my hair today, she's really amazing

also, I think this is the fastest I've ever gotten used to a change like this

like I actually like this haircut

I'm not like, it'll grow out a bit and be amazing, or it feels nice but I'm gonna avoid mirrors, or it's ok but only when I wear it like this

like I actually like how it looks

it's uneven and I'm gonna get it fixed up tomorrow, and like it's not my goal and I do think I'll love how it looks when it grows out a bit, but I also really love it now and that's pretty new

this is the best haircut I've ever had

The funny thing about being diagnosed as autistic as an adult is now you're aware that all those things that are an issue for you aren't universal, and you deserve compassion and accommodation for them. The problem is if you voice that you're feeling overstimulated, close to a melt down, etc. and need to be left alone and given space, people will say you're faking it because you "never did this before diagnosis".

Actually yes, I did. I just didn't know what it was and thought everyone had to deal with the same shit, so I sucked it up until I exploded. I'm trying to avoid the exploding part now, and that requires addressing the problem.

I was talking to my sister the other day about love languages and how for me, I rank low on Acts of Service and I was thinking how that like... portrays me as a selfish person. At least that's how I perceive it.

From a young age, I was taught that a good person does things for others. That a good person is self-sacrificing and always willing to help. However, while I was supposed to treat other people like that, I was never treated like that in return. Growing up, I remember having to do everything myself. Though my siblings were given help, that was a luxury never given to me. If I want something, I have to fight for it. I have to do it all myself. I'm not allowed help.

Being raised like that made me despise the idea of acts of service. To do things on your own is to grow as a person. You learn, you adapt, you improve. The more you help and baby someone, the more you hinder them. But it's also made me way more stingy with my time. I'm spending all of my time doing everything on my own that I don't have the time to work in the service of others. I want to spend my free time for me. I've done so much work already. Let me be lazy. Let me be selfish. I deserve it, don't I?

The worst part about people that rank high in acts of service is that they're so transactional about it. They act with the expectation that you'll act in return. They set themselves up for failure. They cannot comprehend that other people don't rank highly in it, so they'll use their acts of service to hold people hostage through guilt tripping, etc. "I did this for you, so why aren't you doing it for me?" It's a disgusting mindset that I absolutely hate. I hate it when people use this thinking against me to force me to act in a specific way.

Okay I got distracted with that last paragraph, but the fact that I don't rank high in acts of service often makes me feel guilty from time to time. I don't want to do things for others, even in my family. I don't want to. I'm selfish. I don't want to give up my time for them. I don't see the point in doing things for them out of my goodwill. I should be that way. I should be better. But I'm not. And I don't want to be.
