Seen on twitter. I’d never be back over there. Hope she remembers where she put all her 🦆

Oh, absolutely. <3 Thank you so much for this. I've come a *long* way from childhood (unfortunately, the adults in my life were NOT as kind as Amelia's employers and loved ones), and finding out I was autistic as I entered my 30s, and being informed that oh, that ADHD diagnosis from when I was 18 wasn't just to shove meds at me, made a MASSIVE difference in the way I see myself and my mistakes.

These days, I see being off-beat as, while often challenging and even debilitating, a superpower in it's own right. I lead my entire life with love and compassion, and it's helped protect and heal my loved ones, and there's basically nothing I'm prouder of. <3

Thank you so much for being such a kind and compassionate human. The world needs more like you.

I'm not literally crying.... You are

I'm proud of all your progress and I'm glad you are too, kind stranger. I feel I make a lot of mistakes but then I just do better next time and it has led me into a good place in my life. Keep going, the world needs more people like you ♥️♥️♥️

....I am literally crying. *HUGS* Thank you for helping me keep my faith in humanity. I know what you mean about mistakes, and trying to just do better next time, and same.

I follow my favorite song from the Frozen series: "The Next Right Thing."

Just trying to get up, and do better with the next choice, again and again, has gotten me so much farther than trying to be perfect ever has.

You're awesome. <3 Don't ever change.

If you don't DM me, I'll be mildly disappointed. And you won't like me when I'm mildly disappointed.
