What Culture Says about Strength Isn't True
I heard Annihilation was about grief or relationships. I'm interested af in Scavenger's Reign.
I feel like we have a rough indentation / substructure of how we will process things from birth, but that every event thereon will shape it further.
As well, we know ourselves in reference to others: "I'm like A, not like B, but most like C. What lies beyond C? I might see myself reflected best over there."
"Rules do not exist to bind you; they exist so you may know your freedoms."
Parameters outline a given environment within which to experiment and explore. It's one antidote to Blank Page Syndrome, for example.
I have to disagree entirely about personifying the automated house in There Will Come Soft Rains (fantastic name), but otherwise yes. This is exactly my understanding.

It's also a good description of why I feel so confused by others.
People tend to feel more secure (than I do) in their identities as individuals, group members, and (neurotypical / neurodefault / neurorigid) humans.

Gestern bei einer Fortbildung auf einer ebenfalls „seltsamen“ Kollegen kennengelernt- es gab sofort „Nerdvibes“ zwischen uns. Also hab ich ihn heute gefragt, ob er evtl. auch #neurodivergent ist. Er: „Sei doch nicht so direkt und entwaffnend ehrlich! Ich bin der normalste #Autist , den ich kenne!“
Wir mussten beide lachen.
Here’s Cliffside Sunset
I envisioned dragonite flying through the sky while little pokemon sit on the cliff side watching.
One of my goals for this year is to submit an entry into the Pokémon card art challenge. Last year was the first time I became aware of such a thing and immediately felt the pull. My lack of background ability however kept me from this goal, hence the studies. I’m hoping to start adding characters into scenery once I feel I have a better understanding myself without guidance.
I’ll upload the progress video for this later as well
Heres to goals!
My special interest: Dogs
Autistic me sees a book on a table tittled "Underwater Dogs"
Oh I didn't know there were dogs under water... Let me learn... "Opens book"...
Pictures of normal dogs in a pool or underwater.

Does someone also have this?
I'm either fricking tired and on the brink to fall asleep
OR
I'm awake and unable to "sit still", which doesn't mean I need to be bodily active but active with anything, like thinking when playing games or watching a mystery or the like.
So as soon as I start to get tired, I need to get to bed or I'll pass the point and come into the active part again.
Ah yes, awareness month. Be VERY aware. We walk among you... Muahahaha!

In a few days, I'll be 62, and I have an almost ritualistic custom every year when I complete another orbit around the sun. I consider "New Year's" to be the day one was born. The world began that day; that day was the "Big Bang," the origin of this universe that I am.
Taking stock of my current situation and circumstances, I consider my needs and my vision of life at this moment and I intend to live according to that configuration, which changes every decade, every year, every month, and every day.
This time, I thought it might be interesting to share some of that with the autistic people I come in contact with here, just to share the experience and hope it might be of some use to others. After all, the experiences others have shared online have helped me understand who I am.
