    Whenever you find such a person, hold on to them.

    In most relationships, I have some role to play, someone’s expectation to meet or whatever strings attached.

    There’s this one person though that I can only describe as a soul bestie.

    We can communicate without speaking.
    I need to explain things to normal people, whereas we can just be on the same wavelength and connect, so much so that the line between the self and the other sometimes seems a blur.

    We can simply be… raw and without concern.
    It’s not that we see each other as perfect, that’s just dumb, we are well aware of the quirks and flaws, yet we see each other and we simply accept who we are.

    It’s a feeling that I sincerely wish for all people to experience.

      When someone says “be yourself” im imagining they are surrounded by non-traumatized neuro-typical folks.

    I’m fundamentally incapable of being anyone but me. I do not fit through square holes, and I can’t really pretend to.
