i am trying to be better about just letting myself exist without masking but i've been masking so much my whole life that i kind of don't even know who i am if i'm not masking. but i try to stay chill about it and just know that i am who i am and I AM like idk... i recently started dancing when i'm alone in a way that is kind of more like stimming but i just move my body how it wants to move and that is something that a few years ago i never would have allowed myself to do. it's a process i guess to become more comfortable with just existing as you are. david byrne inspired me a lot to just let myself be myself and not worry too much about the autism bc ppl are either gonna get you or theyre not

been thinking a lot about self-awareness lately and what makes me “me.” I’m always trying to figure out how to transform my inner critic to real personal growth without shame.
being honest and not editing myself to any given room was one of the first things I began to tackle in therapy. existing among other humans is an ongoing give and take, and Being Who You Are without apology while treating others with respect is really all you need to do in this life. learning how to be kind and true, and finding the good amongst so much bad and then sharing it with others makes the world go ‘round

life is literally just existing, do it how you want too. when I find myself thinking too hard about how I’m presenting myself I try mentally slapping my self out of it by remembering that I’ll never see most of these people again. if I do see them again I remind myself I want them to know me as myself not as a person I curated for them. It’s never that serious, so all we got do is have fun dance and be in the moment.

a lot of the time I can be rather forgetful when it comes to practicing certain things I want to try out in my day to day. but my gawd when I remember??? for instance the past few days I’ve been reminding myself to present as my truest self everywhere and anywhere.
basically really not giving af and be myself unapologetically. it’s so freeing fr. I’m levitating rn actually.

i will never get over polyvore shutting down. i used it obsessively and had hundreds of outfits made on it and mine were ARTFUL not like the stuff people say they saw on wattpad with like skinny jeans and converse and shit like mine were gorgeous. and then they shut down and i wasn't able to back up any of my stuff so i lost it all. HEARTBREAKINGGGGG

there's a little stray kitty cat that i've been seeing around my house so i put some food out for it and the next day it was gone. today i saw the cat as i got home so i got more food and went outside and the cat was across the street. i shook the food in the bag and it heard it and turned around. i put the food out and went back inside and as soon as i was inside the cat came running over for the food. it was hungry! i tried to come outside for a pet but the cat started to run away so i stayed inside so it could eat in peace. i hope someday i can pet it
