| The old me would've finished off at least 2 long slugs of biscuits. :lol: Then it won't last an hour. And even spend an extra just to taste more. It won't care how much my gut would feel, nor ever slow down to appreciate the tastes. Especially when I'm stressed, bored, impatient, etc. Really, if it ... |

| Just because masking is now 10x easier for me now, doesn't mean that's the standard or default I put myself on a daily basis. :roll: Easier, not easier -- I refuse. :lol: In any case... Turning 29. I had to keep reminding myself that it's only been barely 2 months since the change that I wanted to h... |

| In my case, it's mix and match relative to my current state. Turns out; the most consistent thing for me was the inability to ignore internal sensations; this includes emotions, feelings, thoughts and ideas -- not easy to let go or ignore. I've been fighting it for most of my life. The closest break... |

| Mind that this is me, my own social skills and experience; I don't think I need them and I don't mask. I have a social knack (it's one of my counter-aspie trait that I inherited. It's genetic and generational directly coming from my mother's maternal grandfather; so don't bother) :o They're NTs with... |

| Note that my own morality, my own views over humanity, their existence and survival is different. I'll make the cure. However -- it's conditional. If I were to hold humanity's life at the palm of my hands -- it won't be a charity. :lol: Since I'm not obligated to save them... I can just easily deny ... |

As long as I can fight it, I refuse to be 'destroyed'.
My life is currently going uphill.
From being in a slow and painful decay in futile effort to preserve it in a tiring endless battle with myself -- to being finally remade, for better and stronger, in a marathon length momentum. |

The factors can range between mismatch of biological clock, gut discomfort, disruptive breathing, psych issues to sensory issues. Now it's just constant mu... |
