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.

⭐no more beating dead horses when it comes to movies, tv shows, etc. the movie doesn't need a sequel. the show doesn't need to go on for 27 seasons. we need more stories that are written with an ending in mind from the beginning.

☺️best thing you can do for yourself is become extremely comfortable with being alone and doing stuff by yourself. at a young age i forced myself to get comfortable with that and now it's my default state-- i LOVE doing stuff by myself. my coworker is a person who literally cannot go places by herself and i have been trying to help her get more comfortable doing things solo because it's very freeing. everyone should be happy to go do stuff by themselves, it's lovely!

👗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.
