Your health journey is unique to you and you deserve to celebrate and enjoy your process no matter what it looks like. I hope my experience can encourage others. #health #fitness #healing #depression

Your weight is not an indication of how healthy and fit you are. I have always taken health seriously and have only gained weight as a result of severe depression that made me develop an unhealthy relationship with food. Regardless, I have taken action to improve my health. 1/5

There are times where it feels like I am living in a dream. I never thought I'd experience the friendship and kindness I have been experiencing lately. Beyond grateful. I want to use this as motivation to keep being the best I can be to give back to the world in similar ways.

Although, it is important to do the work individually to heal, this is a good example of why being around supportive people can aid in our healing. Sometimes we need people in our lives that can show us with their actions that our needs are valid. #community #growth #healing

Not too long ago, I shared my concerns about an ableist term being used around me. It made me uncomfortable, but I didn't say anything. I talked with my partner about how I fear speaking up because of what happened to me before. My partner decided to bring it up for me. 1/3

I'm now apart of the glasses 🤓 crew. What's up how are y'all doing? Life is much clearer now haha 😅. I'm so grateful for life lately. This is a new path on my adventure.

One of the most empowering feelings as someone who has lived a life full of neglect is to finally stop neglecting yourself.

Apparently, I need glasses. What an adventure life has put me on lol. 😜🤣

I’m not exactly where I want to be yet, but I’m at peace with where I am. I want to make sure my gratitude always outweighs the gaps in life that keep me from where I want to be.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when people follow a high-skilled activity and unless someone is at the very top of the skill bracket people will just be so disrespectful towards everyone else. You do realize everyone participating is skilled right? Stop being disrespectful. 1/4

If you don’t value accountability, you’re telling vulnerable people you aren’t safe. It means when conflict inevitably arises, you can't be relied upon to repair the harm or navigate the resolution properly. In positions of power, it’s even worse. 1/2

Accountability is way better than pretending you're perfect. No one is perfect, so trying to pretend like you are just makes you come off as pretentious. There is always something to learn about or do better. I am happier being accountable. #Accountability

I didn't realize that having a panic attack literally puts your entire body out of whack. The day after I was in a ton of pain and discomfort. I understand why, our bodies were in fight or flight and trying to protect us. I am just grateful I got the support I needed.

Usually, in times of distress I feel alone and I hide my needs in order to not burden others. This time I couldn't and I didn't have to. Regardless, of whatever happens in this life. I will never forget how impactful their actions were for me last night. #gratitude

I had a more severe panic attack or something close to it for the first time in my life last night. I honestly was scared for my life. I thought I couldn't breathe. Our kind friends literally talked on the phone with me and came to visit us to help me calm down. 1/2 🥺🫂🩵

Sometimes you just have to make the best of the way life plays out. Live in the moment and focus on how you can continuously improve. I am happy when I know I am consistently improving. The rest is outside of my control. #growth #healing #learningdisabilities

I was talking to friends last night about having dyscalculia and how my relationship with math (because of the way it was taught and never received the support I needed for it) led me to believe certain careers and skills were completely inaccessible to me. That isn't true. 1/5

I don't have a capitalistic mindset. I totally wasn't meant for the way this world works. Every time I had money I put it back into the communities and people I care about. Listening to people who openly exploit people and see it as a flex just weirds me out.

I am nowhere near as bad at socializing as other people made me believe. I'm not where I want to be, but I think I am finally focusing on the right things (confidence, healing, etc) to improve and not hating myself and believing the people telling me who I am is the problem. 🫂🩵

I am finally finding the courage to speak up about the issues I have faced throughout the entirety of my life. They are experiences I have been forced to face for years in silence. I am just grateful to finally be speaking up. This is the best version of me. 🫂🩵🗣️

Thank you The Japanese House for making "Saw You In A Dream," it is still one of my favorite songs of all time. Then I listened to your entire discography and loved everything I heard. This song though has been with me through my depression, healing, and happiest moments. 🫂🩵🗣️ 1/2

The key is internal validation and believing in one's own worth and value. I cannot control other people, and there will be more people who try to hurt me in this life. But now I am better equipped to handle it. I won't let their behavior distract me from my own efforts. 🫂🩵🗣️ #healing #progress

Trauma and the long-term recovery from it has made it difficult for me to engage in the behaviors that feel natural to me. Expressing genuine interest in everyone in my life is something I did without a second thought. Being harmed made me feel ashamed to be that kind. 1/5

I'm grateful for the journey I have been on and no matter what my desire to learn and grow never falters. All progress is good progress. #selfacceptance #autistic #progressnotperfection #communication

Autistic communication isn't inherently wrong, less than, or flawed. Since hanging out with more autistic people in-person my "quirks," differences, and needs have been understood, validated, and accepted. I still desire to develop my skills when dealing with non-autistics. 1/4

I want to be proud of the kind of person I am everyday. I want to be the kind of person that speaks up, stands her ground, and promotes honesty, justice, and accountability. I think I am doing the right thing. I know that was always my intention, and I make peace with that. I'm proud of who I am.

Being around selfless and caring people has only solidified my belief that I was treated unjustly. No one deserves to experience what I went through, and no one deserves to be treated as I was. That behavior is never acceptable. I can finally accept this truth fully. 1/5

I thought that I could speak openly about my experiences and people would be willing to listen, but when they instead used it as an opportunity to harm me more it was disappointing. There are other opportunities to speak up about your experiences where people will listen. 1/5 #healing #nevergiveup

I am starting to think that not liking Will from Stranger Things says a lot about a person's personality. #StrangerThings5 #StrangerThings

6 years later and homiebruh is still pulling through. Thanks!! #fonts #spyrofonts

Finally got myself a library card and picked out some books to read. And then I ended up buying a gay little book later in the day anyway. Oh well, at least I have a lot to read at the moment.

She spun us to break... She spun us to fade... Why us? Why us, sister?

I have been chatting in more Discords, going to more local events held by the local queer and neurodivergent community and it has been so good for me. I'm incredibly grateful. I want to participate in more disabled communities and communities centered around my black identity as well. Proud.

I updated all of my AutoHotkey V1 scripts to V2 scripts. None of them were that complex aside from one I got from another source. Fortunately, someone who knows much more than me created an updated version and I was able to take that and build off of it for my needs. #AutoHotkey #Scripting

Alright, first chapter of a new story is up on Patreon for $6+ patrons! Ethan moves into his college dorm and makes a fool of himself in front of the hot RA in the first chapter of this body-swap romance! www.patreon.com/posts/142423...

I've been updating a lot of my AutoHotkey V1 scripts to V2 and expanding upon a lot of the V2 scripts I already had and it has been so fulfilling. It is a way to keep my logical and programming mind alive while I heal. I love automating processes and productivity flows. 💪🏽🩵🙌🏽 #AutoHotkey #scripting

I didn't get to promote this earlier, but Chapter 16 of Girl Practice has a biiiig twist that will completely change the direction of Riley's development! Come read! www.scribblehub.com/series/14987...

I love laying in bed on my day off and holding my partner @epistemicpolymath.bsky.social super close

Here are a couple of ways you can get your hands on my new anthology! You can get either a kindle or paperback version straight from Amazon, but if you're looking for better ways to support the artist (ie, me), you also have... www.amazon.com/dp/B0FSZBZLBK

I have been branching out and trying new games that intimidate me and push my limitations, as well as continuing playing the retro games I haven't played ad missed out on. I upload all VODS here: #playthroughs #twitchVODs #minecraft #survivalist #skate www.youtube.com/@polyplaythr... 1/5

And it is finally, finally, finally done. My next anthology is now available, featuring six stories (some of which are quite long) from the horror genre all featuring trans women facing and overcoming their demons. Please check it out and enjoy. www.patreon.com/posts/katie-...

Belly from #TSITP has to go down as one of the most misunderstood characters. This story was about growth, trauma, grief, and so much more than just love. I think the way the show ended was beautiful. People often miss the beauty in all that life has to offer and it's so unfortunate. Belly is human.

I am on my weight loss journey again and plan to be more focused and serious finally. I started at 208 after dealing with severe depression for the last few years and am now at 181. I want to get back to 150~. I have a lot of work to do, but I am not giving up. I lost 20+lbs already. 🙌🏽💪🏽 #healing

I completely lost interest in Call of Duty when it was my main distraction for a few years now when I was dealing with the worst of my depression. It is kind of fascinating how I can just lose interest in something so easily out of nowhere. Now, it's Minecraft 😂 #Zombies #COD #CODZombies #CallofDuty

My gawd this is my favorite from Swag II right now. So good. Gives me 90s vibes in the best way. Just a sweet and beautiful mix. Eye suckalicious. Eye Candy. open.spotify.com/track/3RxlFi...

Currently I am looking for a deep dark in Minecraft. I want to find it just to find it for now, since I don't have any silk touch tools. But eventually, I want to grab a lot of resources from there and use them in automation farms. That is what excites me the most currently. Automation. #Minecraft

This song is so beautiful and relatable. I love it so much. This holds a special place in my heart. open.spotify.com/track/1qIi9R...
