When will the light swallow the darkness for once? One could argue without it there wouldn't be stars. I reply with not that kind of darkness. That's the darkness that makes things visible not the darkness that takes away everything. Everything. There are no constellations in my sky tonight.

It sucks that the only way to begin is by beginning

it's even worse that the only way to learn is by playing and the only way to win is by learning

but ykw at least i'm not on mount everest. at least i'm not paying tens of thousands of dollars to slowly suffocate in a 300-person line at the gates of hell. never in my life will i have to be steered in a hypoxic stupor through the maze of poop and corpses atop mount everest. on this earth a lot of horrible things can happen to you without your permission but there are a few that you have to opt into. you can just say no thanks! and be guaranteed never to have to be on mount everest. much to be grateful for actually

[sashayed]

still not on mount everest this morning 😌 alhamdulillah

Something I want to draw attention to in practicing any form of spirituality is to not let yourself become unhealthily obsessed with it. You don't have to look at everything as a sign from the divine or consult tarot for every single decision you make. It's important that you stay grounded and sometimes that means stepping out of a spiritual perspective, living life in the moment and following simply what your heart wants.

"the education system traumatizes students it deems stupid" and "the education system traumatizes students it deems gifted" are two concepts that can and should coexist.

Every autism struggle is assumed to be "fear".

A sound bothers you? You're "afraid" of that sound.

You don't approach anyone because you can't read signs of interest or because you literally have no idea what to say to them? You're "afraid" to approach them.
