actually your community IS coming to save you, people are going to show up for you, love is going to find you, strangers are going to be like angels, the world conspires for your highest good
You should think very highly of yourself. Not out of ego, but because of growth. You know what it took for you to become you: The battles nobody saw. The sacrifices nobody applauded. Growth deserves recognition. Respect your resilience. Honor your journey. Know your value.
as a neurodivergent person I spent my younger years bending over backwards for people who never truly cared about me. so I went into isolation for a long time, then came out with razor sharp discernment.

aimless wandering, sitting in the woods to be alone even when you can be alone at home, staying out too late dancing, staying up too late just to talk to them about nothing and everything, making each other playlists, sharing earbuds, staying out in the rain, laying in the grass, stupid inside jokes, intentional boredom, kissing just to kiss, driving just to drive
white women starting to call their friends their homegirls is so unbelievably jarring no matter how many times i hear it. why you talking like that lmfao
