It takes a lot of work, effort and willpower. The possibility of being rejected makes it really hard. But then again it feels so good to just be yourself and witnessing others love you for that instead of in spite of it. Journaling helped me a lot with appreciating those small victories and therefore sticking to it, and also finding out who I am in the first place. Over the years myself and my masks sort of blended into each other and I had a hard time being a real person.

Thankfully, Ride of the Valkyries is quite a banger

That’s a really sweet story, just does not exactly fit the vibe of this community I guess. We’re more here for cute animal pics. A wholesome community might be the place to go?

Forget zodiac signs, which point did you start reading at?

ADHD is a fairly common comorbidity with autism and vice versa. It’s called AuDHD for short.

Really feeling the celery thing

I’ve been trying to talk to my doc about this for months, but everytime I’m there I just can’t. The words don’t come out of my mouth. And before I know it I’m back in the parking lot. It’s pretty ironic, actually.

Nooo don’t give me ideas!

That’s not only perfectly reasonable, it’s also the most sustainable thing to do

I currently have a non-functioning coffee machine and a broken kitchen scale right beside me. (Like, literally broken, I keep finding acrylic glass fragments…)

Also, most things anyone can do somewhat decent. Skills just make you be better at it (and the other way around like you pointed out).

It’s totally valid to ask: “Would you like my advice or would you like me to just listen?” It shows you actually care about the person and that it’s okay if they just want to vent. But you’re still there if they want and need help.

Really look forward to seeing your pup next month!
