Rent is going up. I want to move to a warm climate but that’s pretty much on hold for now due to unforseen circumstances. Nothing major, just it’s crucial for me to be where I’m at right now. Things are going absolutely perfect. Yes, it’s cold. But I wouldn’t want to be warm somewhere else. At least right now.

Now that I’m approaching the first draft of my novel I’m concerned about how it’ll be received. I’m worried people will see it as a revenge piece or a 300 page vent. My goal is to write the queer autistic experience accurately. Some of the situations in the story will be based on my past, but many will come from other people’s stories too. I want to write a compelling autistic protagonist who feels alive. I also want to write layered antagonists that have motivations behind their terrible behavior. The problem is I’m not sure if I can write compelling enough backstories.
I could keep the novel to myself, but that feels like a waste. I have something I want to say about how many treat people on the spectrum. It’s not like many books have autistic protagonists. The only book I’ve found that portrays us accurately is “Marcelo in The Real World.” Even then, it’s not like many people have read that book. I guess I’ll have to just write the book and see what happens…

Hey, I'm sure it's gonna be good, if anything we need refreshing autism books cause most are basically only about stereotype low-functioning people. Also I wouldn't worry too much about backstories, I read a book that was like 75% backstories and I almost quit cause the author basically wrote only that and random quotes from the law book (this was a crime book but still the movie they made of it was so much better). So if anything avoid making them too detailed.
Hey ♡ I had similar side effects at first on my medication (not sure if its the same), weird highs that felt like I was floating and rough bottoms that felt like my worst nights. It should get better soon but your brain is having to get used to them,, so please try to stick with them. I understand its super tough but try to remember its just the medication and that it will pass. Also get enough sleep. ♡ you got this!!

felt this one so, so hard. i feel it 24/7. i want to just take the information i gave to everyone and pull it back deep inside so that they never know, and so that i can then disappear. never be perceived again. never have to worry about someone using something they know about me against me.

pretty bummed out about the Nu COVID variant. probably means I won't be able to see my mom for at least another year if it gets bad enough
I got 2 infractions for making responses like "lmaoo that's insane" etc. I know exactly what you mean. Doesn't make sense and I don't agree with it at all but at least it does serve some purpose by keeping things productive. Still tho, in my opinion it's a very ridiculous rule that like you said pretty much violates the first amendment lol. I would say this bothers me as well a little bit.
Practice non-attachment and observer-consciousness meditation. Observe everything non-judgmentally and let it pass like clouds going by. Judge nothing/no one. Even if you have thoughts of a purple elephant monster covered in peanut butter lol, just observe that thought/image in your mind non-judgmentally. The more you do this, the more you break up your mind's inclination to hold onto thoughts and attachments.
Was thinking of changing light bulb in the bathroom, turn out the spherical shade around is stuck as super glue. It's one of those old 50s I assume white sphere ones pointing out sideways from where it is. Guess I have to wait til mom gets back, or see if I can find some other light source.

I just saw on the news that there is a new Covid Variant called the "Omicron variant" that was detected in South Africa. Since I got my Booster Shot I really hope its enough to protect me against new variant. Man and just when I thought things were starting to calm down this happens.....
