Do Autistic Kids "grow Out" Of Their Autism? Why Does It Sometimes Seem Like There Are So Few Autistic

HOW TO FEEL YOUR FEELINGS, 2021, by Yumi Sakugawa

The heaviness you feel of a life you choose by yourself makes me want to scream sometimes.

Like how did it get so pathetic

Why can’t I just run free through the woods and over deep green meadows. Why can’t I swim in silent mountain lakes. Why can’t I sit still and listen to the waves telling me their story’s or see the moonlight on my skin.

Why do I have to be part of this system in order to survive; and only live on the weekends or at two weeks per year when I’m on holiday.

Why.

Reaches for the hug with wholesome intent

To be loved loudly is all I want from this life

I love you people going into "useless" fields I love you classics majors I love you cultural studies majors I love you comparative literature majors I love you film studies majors I love you near eastern religions majors I love you Greek, Latin, and Hebrew majors I love you ethnic studies I love you people going into any and all small field that isn't considered lucrative in our rotting capitalist society please never stop keeping the sacred flame of knowledge for the sake of knowledge and understanding humanity and not merely for the sake of money alive

Be gentle with yourself 🌸

guys I think everything is going to be okay

i hope this reaches the target audience:

hold on for one more night, one more day. appreciate all the little things keeping you connected to the world. tell yourself the end can wait one more day. see how you feel tomorrow. see if you can keep going a while longer.

I just want to remind you that sometimes your life really doesn't begin until you are 26+... Romanticizing and obsessing over our youth is harmful. Growing up is beautiful. Discovering who you are and how you interact with the world is a gift. Maturing and learning what you truly want out of life and living in that purpose brings fulfillment and peace. Your life is not over in your early 20's because you haven't figured it out yet, it's just beginning.
