I DO NOT DE I DO & UNTIL I HAVE BECAUS T

THEY’LL S AH

CUZ I FINALLY KN BUT IF YOU AD THAT’S & IT F HOLD INSTEA MY HEA SO I LET TH IN WHATEVER I GIVE ALL BACK TO T IT’S NOT S I COULD HAVE P I COULD HAVE NEV

BUT I CAN CONFIRM THAT I HAVE CLEARED CURSES;

PUT DOWN MY INTERGENERATIONAL TRAUMA THANG, FLIPPED IT, AND REVERSED IT.

I’VE WON LIKE A MEDAL UZ I REALLY EARNED IT. SS IS NONREFUNDABLE, I CANNOT RETURN IT.

EXT THING LEASING F THESE BURDENS.

D I BOTH KNOW ESERVED THEM.

SNUGGLY COCOON IS TIME, DONE HURTING -

FLY IS EMERGING

LY DIFFERENT PERSON, TED VERSION TION E MERGING.

G WITH STEALERSLEAVERS NG IN NON BELIEVERS S THE WORLD IS TURNING RST. RKS... , WORE WORKED.

THE SHAMPOO BOTTLE PUMP

THE WOMAN BEHIND ME IN LINE SAYS B Y K A C E Y V O I C E

CAN I JUST PAY FOR IT? AFTER I SAID I LEFT MY MONEY IN THE CAR... WHAT I GOT STUCK ON THAT’S SO KIND OF YOU!

WAS THE CASHIER’S ADORING RESPONSE

WHICH YES THIS WAS VERY KIND IN A WAY BUT THE TONE SHE USED WAS NOT THAT KIND IN EXASPERATION WITH THREE PEOPLE BEHIND HER AFTER WE HAD WAITED FOR HIM TO GET OFF THE PHONE, THEN FIND THE CABINET WHERE IT WAS HIDDEN, THEN LOOK UP THE PRICE

LESS THAN $1.50 THE RESPONSE WAS COMPASSIONATE BUT FOR ME THE CRUELTY WAS IN CHARGING A FEE

THIS MANGLE OF PLASTIC FITS IN MY $75 BOTTLE OF SHAMPOO

VALUELESS IN ALMOST ANY OTHER CONTEXT FOR THIS I MUST PAY SO GRATEFUL FOR A BETTER WAY TO DISPENSE A MORE APPROPRIATE AMOUNT OF PRECIOUS VOLUMIZING LIQUID

LIFTING MY SELF-IMAGE MORE THAN MY HAIR

AT WHAT COST?

THE COST OF A QUESTION A MONTH AGO WHEN I LEARNED THE ITEM WAS OUT OF STOCK FOR THE SALON

THE COST OF THE PAPER THE CASHIER WROTE MY PHONE NUMBER ON TO CALL WHEN I CAME IN

THE COST OF THE TIME HE TOOK TO CHEERFULLY ALERT ME THAT IT ARRIVED

THE COST OF THE SPACE TO STORE ONE LABELED WITH MY NAME FOR A WEEK

THE COST OF THE CARELESSNESS FOR ME TO PARK ILLEGALLY WHILE LEAVING A CHILD IN THE CAR AND RUN INTO THE SALON ONLY THEN TO LEARN I MUST PAY

THE PRICE

THE ONLY WAY TO BE FREE IN THIS SYSTEM

THIS THING HAS ONE VALUE COVERED BY MY COMRADE TIRED OF WAITING TO PAY FOR TIME, ENERGY, AND RESOURCES DEVALUED

i left my heart on a farm while my mind carried me away. everything was beautiful. the breeze painted portraits and the grass traced my veins. horses and sheep, staring down the sunrise, looking to another day. everything was beautiful. yet everything was treacherous, devious. figures lurking in my mind, now haunt this land. so i run, and i run. run to slay every dragon, to exorcize every demon until everything is truly beautiful, til everything is clean. i left myself on a farm, and there i’ve been. there i’ll stay. until i decay. so, follow the trail, follow the blood. and still, inside the barn, you’ll find remnants of my heart.

Up all night and the light of the sunrise is blinding. A new dawn, forgotten fawn and the spawn of something else. Merging from submerging in the essence of reality. The poison of a generation lost to monotony and society's heart racing to nothing.

I remember a time when, and then I remembered another. I was a brother, and I was someone ' s lover. I've confessed my sins more times than I could imagine. Forgiving this idea has troubled my passions.

My heart has held life closer than blood. My cells vibrate infinitely to the sounds of birds crying. Touching the firmament with the edge of my soul. Non-believer, but I've believed what I've been told. Clutched chest and a reason to live. I've confessed and continue to give.

Topic of the Month: Animal Connections

THE CONNECTION TO ANIMALS

Research shows that the positive stereotype about autistic people feeling intense connections to animals, sometimes preferring them over humans, is actually true in many cases! Here are some of the ways that animals can benefit the mental health of everyone, but especially neurodivergent folks.
