I know for many people, it's a holiday season and society encourages us to think big, but I'm over here celebrating small joys Saturday anyway.

I have a comfy couch, and a quilt, and a kitty.

It's gonna be ok.

SMALL JOY SATURDAY !!!!!

one of my aboslute favourite feelings... so not a small thing i guess... is when youre talking to a group of people, after a long day of existing, at night by a soft glow of the yard lights, outside in the cool summer air, snacks sometimes included... and just existing there :0 the conversations are relaxed and quiet. everyone is unwinding, and getting ready to sleep. sluggish almost. sometimes someone would say something funny, and there'd be random laughter interrupting the quietness of the darkness around...... that... that is my favourite thing in the world, and i hope to experience it again in the future :) i dont remember the people nor the conversations, but i do remember the feeling !!!

small joys saturday 🍓

today i found some old SD cards and looked through photos my parents took of me and my sister when we were young. i liked seeing my parent’s happy together in photos. i had the realisation that everyone is so beautiful, everyone is so gorgeous in their own right and i love that we are born with beauty.

small joys saturday: making pancakes for my little brother and seeing him smile :)

That's the type of thing he'll remember fondly, speaking from personal experience

this is a weird small joy but bear with me. you'll understand why I see this as a joy:

something I heard recently made me think of how learning to unmask when you're late diagnosis, and dealing with "skill regression" and all the other struggles associated to it, is like realising the life you lead was going to kill you.

it wasn't a possibility. it is a reality. it is going to kill you, because it'll demand that you always sacrifice the most authentic version of you you can be to conformity. we think the only way to protect ourselves in a world that is not made for us, is to wither away until we're nothing but wraiths of everything we once were. of everything one day we could actually become.

and you have to learn how to live again, because part of you does die with this process. you have to learn how to bury that version of yourself that is terrified of being their neurodivevergent self, and become one that is not. not because we aren't afraid still, but because fear to be doesn't get the last word.

the small joy is this: it is a quiet autumn morning with the golden, late morning light filtering through the leaves outside your apartment window, and a new breakfast you felt like trying and were successful with. the small joy is we live right by the cemetery where out past versions lie, but even if we see them out of their graves from time to time, we are not commanded by it. we live next to it. but we are not it, nor we live in it.

imagine how pretty it would be: a colourful house next to a small graveyard and next to it the most flamboyant and rampantly alive, stubbornly alive, garden you've ever seen.

the small joy is this: you died and came back and you didn't come back the same but everything you once were, and learnt from it, is now nurturing that garden.

the small joy is this: you made that garden. and it is a testament we do, in fact, get to live

i love you always, jules

got tired of all the misanthropic customer service memes, I love getting to talk to people of all walks of life and getting to help them out and learning about regulars' lives. people are wonderful and diverse and kind and the handful of mean ones can't ruin that
