I need questionable advice

The world is full of advice and most of it is very questionable. Perhaps you are wondering what to do next time you are out with friends and someone drops something?

i’ve quit a lot of things in my life

self harm

my eating disorder

drugs

alcohol

cigs

even my “soulmate”

i’ve had to drop things that were no longer benefitting me

not bc i’m selfish

but bc i know that at the end of the day all i have is myself

and doing those things

was breaking me

i’m not full yet

there’s still pieces missing

but slowly

i’m getting there

i can smile without having to be on bars

i can laugh until my sides hurt without the assistance of alcohol

i can eat and not feel guilty

i can see a sharp object and not be triggered

i can kiss my girlfriend without being reminded of the love i once lost

and i think that’s pretty swell

so here’s a reminder

that sometimes you have to drop something or someone to be truly happy

and that is OKAY.

Hades on dyspraxia/dropping things

Image: Hades lit up with orange and yellow flames all over, eyes and mouth wide in an angry yell. Text: I CAN'T STOP DROPPING THINGS

(Dyspraxia is a pretty common issue associated with autism. Often, that means poor hand-eye coordination and/or a poor grip. I drop things, like my phone or keys, A LOT and it's very frustrating!)

Topamax, Dopamax

Currently having a love hate relationship with my Topamax. I have been on Topamax for over a year now and it’s been both a blessing and a curse. The drug typically helps my migraines, however, the side effects fuckin suck. Random tingling sensations in my head, hands and feet, dropping things and forgetting simple words are just part of the side effects that comes with this medicine; however I am experiencing them all today. It sucks. I’m starting to wonder what’s worse, the pain or the side effects from the treatment.

No More Crying Over Broken Glass

I've broken many a glass over my lifetime. It's just a part of being human, I think. Sometimes, you drop things.

Now, I'm more clumsy than most. And I don't know why people don't believe me until they see it in action.

I spilt a latte on my laptop. I popped open an entire frappucino pulling the drink into the car.

Like, I'm a clumsy girl. At least once a week I ask myself, "How the hell did I get that bruise?" I honestly don't know. I bang into so many things!

Today, I picked up some groceries on the way home from dropping off the Littles for a cousin sleepover. Picked up all the bags and turned around in the driveway.

A bag apparently had split in transit, and the light soy sauce I'd bought for a cucumer salad slid right out. It splattered and shattered, coating my legs and shoes in soy sauce and spreading glass shards all over.

And. I. Laughed.

Y'know, before all this, I was always so hard on myself if I couldn't keep all the plates spinning in the air without dropping any. I would bully myself for my lack of perfection.

Now? I don't have the same pressure on me. No, I'm not perfect. Yes, I'm clumsy.

And sometimes things get dropped. When they do, you just clean up the pieces and keep moving. It's all you can do!

So, if you're like me, and way too damn hard on yourself, do me a favor and give yourself some grace. None of us can be perfect.

Sometimes things will drop. It doesn't make you any less amazing. Believe me.
