@ocean i love this! great write-up. I will say, though I heavily relate to the exhaustion of keeping the masks up, I actually find it much easier to express myself freely in "the flow of spoken speech", and am not a fan of emails or long texts. It feels more natural to me, less filtered, less masked. Every time i have to dilute my thoughts into words I am losing some of myself - this is unavoidable. But i lose less in the natural human flow of spoken word than i do in the artificial typed blocks of text on a screen.
>It’s easy to bottle up, be safe, and never really be yourself. However, this comfort has to be sacrificed to some degree on occasion in interest of presenting yourself accurately.
its not just easy, its advantageous. Being masked OBJECTIVELY increases your likelihood of success in society. However, is it worth the damage it does to your sense of self, your faith in your self? Because enough damage to those things and the subsequent consequences in your day to day performance will outweigh the benefits of masking. Its reductive, but I find that normie neurodivergents stand to benefit more from masking than queer neurodiverse people.

Funny you say that. Read up on this supernatural forecast done by @pict0 , which echoes that very same idea. Shed the wooden snake, and ride the fire horse my friend. Now is the time of dreams. Now is the time of change. Now is the time of dreaming, manifest. Your time, is now.
