I feel most comfortable around people who do not confuse my playfulness for incompetence. you can let me be ridiculous and still respect my mind. those two things are not in conflict.
accepting that i am disposable and replaceable. this has nothing to do with my own worth.
it’s literally just preference. people prefer what they prefer, when and how they prefer it.
that is, unfortunately, how the rhythm of the dance goes; as harsh as it may be.
