I long to see you
Lit from within
Creative zeal
Permeates skin
Consuming fire
Breathe it in
Pulsing inside
Tender
Tinder
Tumultuous
Tension
Trembles
Inescapable song
Indescribable vision
Illuminated words
Capture the soul
Explode before me
Naked we glow
Producing
Art

Tomorrow is my last day at a job that has been half my identity for the past 15 years.
I’m giving myself a gap month and a road trip to figure out my next moves.
Accepting suggestions for places to visit on a trip from Yellowstone > NYC > North Carolina > LA > Portland.
A star dimmed
Forgot how to glow
Growing void
Relentlessly
Drained
Diffused
Diluted
Destroyed
Focus
Until
Glint
Glimpse
Glimmer
Reflect
A moment
Pause
To be seen
Whole
Accepted
Appreciated
Allowed
Reclaim
Recut
Refocus
Reignite
Burn anew

@sephabeats Figuring out I’m autistic was game changing for me.
I used to think I was defective and that’s why people have a hard time understanding me.
Now I know I’m literally wired different and that’s just how it is.
Removes the shame and replaces it with permission to be authentic.
@Greg1985 Of course you are. Try telling your inner critic that they shouldn’t talk to your friend Greg that way.
Be a friend to yourself and defend yourself like you would any other friend.
It takes practice, but works.
Restating negative talk in a more gentle light helps too.
