The noises... can't tune them out!

It's so hard to get through work assignments and personal projects with my current limited mental energy.

Ah, my favorite time of year.

All signs point to YES (I'm still in burnout).

I wear myself out pretty quickly with my work. So I have to make intentional choices.

Some thoughts on writing versus arting.

Can't face doing that one thing? Do something else instead.

Talking about talking. It's so important.

Never forget that you, too, were once a clueless person.

Where would I be if I'd made different career choices? Actually had a mentor?

Sometimes I want depth. Sometimes I want predictability.

I wish I liked wearing earbuds.

I process my experiences through talking about them.

I'm grateful for the autistic community on the internet, and other communities I've found, that help me be more me.

I'll only allow you to get to know me if you're a safe person.

Still learning about how my brain works, a half century in.

A succinct description of the perfect life (for me).

"I totally forgot about that!"

"But I can't abandon it!"
