it's okay if you get confused easily. it's okay if you forget things easily. it's okay if you lose track during conversation easily. it's okay if you have to ask for clarification often. it's okay if you struggle to parse information or sensory unit. you're not "playing dumb" or "doing it on purpose". it's okay to be disabled, some people just refuse to be accommodating.
“The only way to get what you really want, is to know what you really want. And the only way to know what you really want, is to know yourself. And the only way to know yourself, is to be yourself. And the only way to be yourself is to listen to your heart.”
— Mike Dooley
i just wanna be a good person. recognize my faults and grow. i don’t want to hurt anyone or hurt myself. i just wanna love and be loved.
Sandra Cisneros, from "Tea Dance, Provincetown, 1982", Woman Without Shame
“And suddenly you know: It’s time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings.”

Proud of me.
“I must learn to love the fool in me - the one who feels too much, talks too much, takes too many chances, wins sometimes and loses often, lacks self-control, loves and hates, hurts and gets hurt, promises and breaks promises, laughs and cries.”
— Theodore Isaac Rubin
