Autistic me watching sitcoms thinking “if they would just say what they want/think/feel, this episode would be over in like 5 minutes and everyone would just be happy…”

I’m really beginning to hate remastered records. Not every old album sounds good with a bunch of width added to it…

2025. Just do what makes you happy and it will all work itself out. And if not at least you were happy for a spell…

Clarity of purpose can be elusive for me and yet I find myself in the throes of creation. Is it still possible to be the thing I’ve dreamed? That distilled version of myself that like the stone in the river is both strong in the face of the current and smooth as to let so much slide off unfettered.
