Y'know I Feel Like People Need To Forgive Themselves More For Being Kids

growing up in a neurotypical household, i sometimes feel kinda alone

but then i remember that i have friends who sort their m&ms by color before eating them and suddenly feel better

“““You’re not a monster,” I said. But I lied. What I really wanted to say was that a monster is not such a terrible thing to be. From the Latin root monstrum, a divine messenger of catastrophe, then adapted by the Old French to mean an animal of myriad origins: centaur, griffin, satyr. To be a monster is to be a hybrid signal, a lighthouse: both shelter and warning at once.””

i love this tweet so much i think about it weekly, i structure my life around it its so crazy how much one tweet changed the way i view neopronouns for the better

trying to schedule around the holidays with my divorced parents. 27 dead 23 injured 1 with childhood trauma

you will feel so alive again.. like so incredibly alive. i dont know when that will be but it will be. u are gonna feel so alive that ur cheeks hurt from smiling oh man oh man i promise that day is coming. you do have a future, you do have good things coming, and you’ll survive everything that’s thrown at you until you reach that day

i don’t know if holding your own hand is a sign of loneliness or self-love, but either way i’m feeling something

Sometimes I just want someone to give me a compliment, and I want to be able to take it
