you donโt have to be in crisis to be cared for.
you donโt have to earn gentleness.
you donโt have to prove youโre worthy of love.
To be loved is a sacred thing.

Itโs both beautiful and exhausting navigating the world as a neurodivergent person. On one hand, my brain has given me space to engage in my mental health in ways I never imagined. On the other, itโs hard moving through spaces where self-awareness isnโt in the foundation or fabric of others.

White supremacist culture loves a token.
Donโt ever buy into that false hype. Lift while you climb instead.
