Do you know what people really want? Everyone, I mean. Everybody in the world is thinking: I wish there was just one other person I could really talk to, who could really understand me, who'd be kind to me. That's what people really want, if they're telling the truth.
â Doris Lessing
As this pandemic raging around the world I dream about the sunny days on the lake listening to the sound of the wind and rowing oars. Soon I hope to be back there, finding peace.
So why act like I just accused you of a crime?
âSo why act like I just accused you of a crime?â. The quote from the Pilipino web series âGaya Sa Pelikulaâ affected me in so many ways that I didn´t expect.  It is one thing to know in your heart that it is okay to be who you are. But it´s another thing to hear it and to be seen. Â
I´m autistic, hard of hearing and bisexual. That makes it hard to not notice that the world tend to cave in and have opinions. Opinions about who I should be, about how I should behave and how I should react. And that has taken a toll on my mental health.
Vlad´s word made me feel the sorrow over other´s prejudice but also the determination that their words won´t change how things are. Despite their words I am still autistic. Still hard of hearing. Still bisexual. And that is okay. More than okay. This life is different but it´s my life and I wouldn´t want to trade it for anything.

When I was little, I thought of myself of being bold when I took the swing as high as possible just to jump off and land on my two feet. Or the times when I ran straight out in the darkness with just a small metal laundry basket to prevent any crash landing. Looking back I can still feel that thrill of doing something that I shouldn´t have done.
Nowadays it seems to be too risktaking doing that. Or perhaps it isn´t age apropriate? I don´t know. These days it´s more about calculating risks. How would people react? What would they say? Would they understand?
I do talks about being autistic and hard of hearing, I tell people that I´m bisexual, I travel abroad on my own. I make my own decisions. But it´s all calculated risks.
There are two things I´ve done where I haven´t calculated the risks as much as I probably should have as an adult. The first time was when I swam across a lake. I trusted that my career in swimming with a few gold medals under the belt would serve me well. It all went smoothly but to this day I don´t know if it was bold or plain stupid. Probably a bit of both.
 More recently I wrote a love letter to the Bridegroom´s Oak in Germany, hoping to find love. Maybe I´m too much of a romantic. I love the written word too much to not try, but it was nerve wracking to go to the mail box. A year has gone by and I haven´t yet had any reply. Maybe I´ll never get one. Maybe I´ll never know what have happened to that letter.
It has been a strange year so far and I have had a lot of time to contemplate. Maybe it´s time to stop calculating risks and begin to bold and brave.
Maybe it´s time to follow the heart rather than the brain?
What is the most bold thing you have done in your life?
I have come to accept the feeling of not knowing where I am going. And I have trained myself to love it. Because it is only when we are suspended in mid-air with no landing in sight, that we force our wings to unravel and alas begin our flight. And as we fly, we still may not know where we are going to. But the miracle is in the unfolding of the wings. You may not know where you're going, but you know that so long as you spread your wings, the winds will carry you.
â C. JoyBell C.
Don't be afraid of death; be afraid of an unlived life. You don't have to live forever you just have to live.

If your feminism isnât intersectional, it ainât shit.
The problem with people is they forget that most of the time it's the small things that count.

ADHD and autism is basically being considered rude for the dumbest reasons
those reasons are usually 1. ADHD/autistic person didnât literally read your mind for the Correct Social Cue(s) 2. ADHD/autistic person has a need or a boundary that doesnât actually harm anyone, but itâs not a Correct Social Cue thing so you think they shouldnât
3. ADHD/autistic person forgot/didn't realise/doesn't know/is just too damn tired to perform the Correct Tone
4. ADHD/Austistic person struggled to understand/ needed a seemingly obvious thing clarified or explained to them and got accused of sealioning/asking in bad faith.
There is a difference between people weponizing their neurodivergence against others and having a nuanced, intersectional conversation about how some forms of normalized interactions can oppress both sides of the community.
Congratulations USA! This is a huge step forward!
Too many things are occurring for even a big heart to hold.

I really do like decoratiing. I have a book at home where I put all my decorating ideas i find in different magazines or write my thoughts. Some find a way in my apartment, some don´t.
I would say that my decorating style is a mix between Japanese decorating and Scandinavian decorating.
Dear fellow Americans:
The use of tear gas is a violation of the Geneva convention. Your police have gassed every major city.
False surrender is a violation of the Geneva convention. Your police have kneeled to draw protesters within range of tear gas.
Destroying and contaminating water is a violation of the Geneva convention. Your police have been destroying stocks of water used for the protestors.
Destroying medical tents and supplies is a violation of the Geneva convention. Your police have destroyed medical tents and attacked medics in various cities.
Attacking journalists is a violation of the Geneva convention. Your police have targeted and attacked journalists both native and foreign in multiple cities.
Your police are worse than war criminals, this isnât even a war and theyâve managed to violate major international codes.Â
You truly believe âlootingâ or staying out past curfew is a valid excuse for actual war crimes to be committed against civilians?Â
