    It’s the rug and lighting, but I see what your saying. It makes like a depth perception illusion. It is flat though

    Edit: there’s also some kind of triangular, concave? object next to the dresser in the first photo. It tripped me up without even realizing it at first







  • I’m about to start therapy (again) for pretty much the same reason… I joke that I don’t have good luck nor bad luck, just crazy luck. Only a few people closest to me truly know how wild it’s been the past 5 years? 7 years? I honestly lose track sometimes

    Last time I went to therapy in 2021, I gave them a summary of the most recent traumas and completely forgot to tell them my sister had recently died. The next session, I mentioned it to them and their face… couldn’t entirely hide their shock. It was at least validating though






  • And some of us weren’t old enough to understand the history of what has already been sown. Ripping weeds by their root is tedious, sometimes tiresome, work

    I appreciate the reminder, and understand it’s not just a “U.S.” problem. But thank you nonetheless. I can’t truly apologize for something that I didn’t understand I was already a part of… but I’m sorry

    I’m trying more than just “angry comments”, I promise. It’s strange to me; writing a comment and thinking about how it may be used against me, because of things. But here we are, and I refuse to give up my love for people. Sue me. Shoot me. Piss in my cheerios. I’ll remain as I can

    I used to joke that my goal was to just make it to 65. Good enough for me… but I have new goals now. I’ma live till I’m 92, and godspeed. I hate living in interesting times, but I guess it’s what we’re doing right now, so fuck it. I’ll keep myself and remain kind for others, because hopeless doesn’t equal helpless

    And Heyyy friends, if you’re reading my shit… good


  • Non-verbal, debilitating autism is extremely difficult. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. It’s like asking what’s wrong with schizophrenia and “why do they want to ‘cure’ it”?

    Autism is a spectrum (for now; it’s the best terminology we have at the moment), and at one end you have severe debility. I don’t think a “cure” is possible in the way we think, but better treatment options would be life-saving

    I’m some form of neurodivergent myself and have traits that overlap with autism. Someone I love is non-verbal and currently going through the straights with their disability. I see ways in which we share symptoms, but I also see a huge divide between us, in the severity of them

    I would give anything to get the best help for my loved one, because they’ll never be able to have any independence without 24hr care. And that’s what we’re working towards. But if there was some “cure” that would allow them to communicate more… I can’t even describe what a miracle that would be for so many people. It’s a hard thing to see someone go through sometimes, and it can actually be a very big deal
