friendly reminder that you donโt have to justify self-care with suffering. you donโt have to be feeling down to give yourself permission to spend the night home alone with that book youโve been dying to read. you donโt have to earn that piece of chocolate with a hard day at work. you donโt have to run yourself ragged before you deserve a bubble bath. you donโt need to wait for a disaster to be nice to yourself.
Reminder: Donโt let your brain bully you, sometimes our minds are cruel to us. You deserve to live, you deserve to eat, you deserve to express your feelings. People do like you! Youโre doing a pretty good job, and you are worth more than you give yourself credit for.
Special shout-out to all the trans ladies and non-binary folk whoโre still wondering if theyโre allowed to describe themselves like that because theyโve been gate-kept at every step along the way by people outside and inside their community.
Youโre real, and your existence is real however you got there.
I couldnโt add every flags but I mostly put what I thought was relevant to them ๐ (of course those are ideas but you can disagree with it!)
Anyway I hope you liked it!
Love has no frontierย

PS: There is an advocacy week coming up: #WeNeedLGBTQStories Week. Itโs a week to talk about the need for positive mainstream LGBT representation in media, June 12-18 ! If you want to know more about it, ask @weneedlgbtqstories or check this out!
To those of us who have no idea how to flirt or how to learn to flirt,
To those of us who want to talk to girls but donโt know how to start,
To those of us who want to participate in pride events but canโt handle it due to sensory sensitivities or other accessibility issues,
ย To those of us who are still figuring out our identities,
You are so wonderful and beautiful. You will find the woman of your dreams one day who not only tolerates you, but accepts all of you and your autistic traits. The one who will find your stumbling advances cute. The one who will love your stims.ย
Celebrate this pride month.ย
Celebrate your beautifully autistic, sapphic self.ย
Celebrate with your community.ย
Celebrate the double rainbow of neurodivergent and LQBTQIA+
