Today was the 1st day in a long time where I felt like, I’m going to be okay.

I’ve struggled with a lot of things for a while. Just feels like there is peace finally.

I’ve been off my game this month.

One of those not having the spoons to do much. Figuring out emotions and reasons for my behavior and it was difficult with alexithymia. Some of that was questioning am I bi or gay. When I realized I’m gay it was ah this is who I am *peace*

I assumed most or all areas in Texas would be anti-gay and confrontational. But so far Dallas seems fine when I’m out & affectionate in public with my gf. Everyone minds their own business. Nice how much things have changed here. Didn’t used to be like this.

My first step into jewelry making was to weave a lesbian pride bracelet for myself.

It took years for me to fully accept that I’m gay. This bracelet is my first display of self-acceptance.

I couldn’t find a pride bracelet that didn’t feel overwhelming, so I made one myself.❤️

Do you have something you excel at, but struggle with everything else outside of it?

I have a natural intuitive understanding of business & entrepreneurship. Outside of that though, I can’t function at all in the NT world & struggle with basic things.

Just for fun I took the RAADS-R autism test. Friend of mine scored really high and I wanted to see how autistic it says I am. 😄 I scored in the very strong evidence for autism range.

I already know I’m super autistic & don’t need a test to tell me that. Just for fun. 🙂

I need a hobby. Thought maybe since I’m so passionate about jewelry and selling stim jewelry, I could figure out how to make my own stim jewelry.

I’d really like a fidget bracelet, so it could be fun to make one myself. Thinking about getting jewelry making kit. 🤔

I’m feeling much better after I went into a bit of a helpless funk last week. Had to work through a lot in my head. In the end, it’s not like me to act or think that way. But I’ve snapped out of it. I feel like even more of my real self than before.

The more time passes I figure out more of my autistic self and who I am, I feel like I’m living more and more authentically.

Uncovering your real self can take a long time, and that’s okay. It’s a nice little journey where we are always learning something new about ourselves.❤️

Made a demo video for a new stim toy in my store.

I did my best to describe it in the product description in my store, but a demo video does a much better job. 😍

I was kind of worried my new stim earrings would spin around on their own as I go about my day, but they’ve stayed perfectly still. I’ve been spinning them all day. Plus, they look very elegant.

Passes my quality test! 😍

Embarrassing as this is… I have a huge sensitivity to water on my face. I can’t handle washing my face with water, so I don’t. Ever.😬 Basic hygiene fail.

Swimming is no fun either for the same reason.

Do you have any sensory sensitivities like this?
