Your special interest is not dumb, boring or childish. It is real and it is yours. Don’t be ashamed of what you love.

Okay so I know in the past I said I was strictly going to post short stories, but I wrote this short script. It’s about two lawyers who are meeting the start of a new horizon. Give it a read, it’s very short. I plan on turning this into a short film. I hope you like it.

“Just Aspie Things 21” I have no idea if I’ve done a similar one before, but it bears repeating. Many Autistics find it impossible to find a compassionate ear, and the ones we find often grow tired of hearing of our woes. Leaving us in a place where we don’t want to burden the ones we have, but it’s too difficult to find new ones.

☀️ Saying “I don’t understand” is mature and honest, not childish ☀️
☀️Don’t take ableist comments into consideration - you know they’re not true ☀️

☀️ “Low-functioning” and “high-functioning” labels were made by and for neurotypicals and hold zero accuracy ☀️

101 Short Stories
Hello world,
It’s been quite some time since I’ve last written on this blog. I started college for the first time about 4 weeks ago. So I've been busy. Since I'm going through a sort of transition, I don't think I'll do another official letter to the world for quite a while. I need more solid reflections in order to write a coherent letter.
What I am writing to announce is that I'm going on a new writing venture. After preparing to begin work on the Youth-Group pilot, I began wondering If I'd given more traditional forms of creative writing a fair shake. Part of what drew me into the screenwriting was its commercial appeal. I would call myself a very visual person in nature, so it felt right to screen-write. It's like that saying, "You have to see the forest for more than the trees."
So writing as such an immense scope in fiction. It's within these numerous possibilities that I embark on what I like to call 101 Short Stories. For one year I am going to work week-in and week-out to write and edit one short-story per week. I'd like to write novels one day hopefully in the near future, so I need to work on traditional writing!
As I was reading Robert Rodriguez's cult classic Rebel Without A Crew he mentioned that with all his small film he created as a child and young adult that it gave him due preparation for making his first feature film. This is what I'm modeling for 101 Short Stories!
I'm done with screenwriting and with Youth-Group, at least for now. Until I find more commercial applications for me as a writer. I hope I don't disappoint too many of you, but I have other personal reason for abandoning the project. I'll open up about it (maybe) in the near future.
For now, I'm moving on for the sake of my overall growth of a writer. I am going to post these stories on this blog as soon as the editing process is over and done with. Please leave your feedback if you can. I am very open to constructive criticism. If you write back in a negative or inappropriate manner I will block you immediately. You are with me or against me, that's all!
Thank you and until next time I send my love.
P.S.
Here’s a short list of writer’s I’ve learned from in the past, so you can get a feel for my tastes:
1.Stephen King:
2.Anne Rice
3.The Divine Jacquline Sussan
4. Laura Esquivel

Hello, all!
Now I write a letter to the world,
High school is over and done with. These last 4 years have left an indelible influence on my life. In the end, I was actually grateful for quite a few things I experienced. The biggest thing I walk away with is now my present sense of self-worth.
It's easy to feel insecure in high school if it wasn't thousands of books, tv shows, and musicals wouldn't exist today. I bore you with going my sob story about being bullied in high school because in some way or another we all have that story. We were all are treated less than kindly by other students and we all did the same to each other. Part of that has to do with growing maturity levels and it doesn't help that we millennials were brought up in the information age.
After all the wrong and good I did, I realized that NOBODY is a professional at being human, normal, or respected. Whether or not you're the cutting edge of your peer group or just a shy autistic kid drawing alone in the lunch room; you are not a professional. For four years I did everything I could in order to undo my image of being less than a loser. I failed more and more I soured in and out of cliques and social groups and nothing truly satisfied me. I cried and cried for things to change and nothing ever did.
My senior year in high school, I finally did manage to make a change that I felt would make me the cool dude of my dreams. I got a job. I was a Bagger at a locally owned grocery store in town. This is was it, time to become awesome! I lasted one month. In the end, I called into work with a tear rolling down my face and gave a shaky excuse for why I couldn't keep coming in anymore. This was it, this was the thing that finally shattered my pursuit. I was broken inside, so like a miss-fitt toy, I sailed off to an uncharted island where nobody could find me. I called this island my room. I locked myself inside and I was determined to stay there until the hurt was gone.
When that would happen was anyone's guess, but graduation was fast approaching and I felt an urge that I gotta do something with my life. So I was prescribed some new medication and started attending a weekly therapy session. I figured since I'm such a screw-up I should do what all screw ups do, get help! In the beginning, I saw myself as the borderline mental patient, who was just reaching out for dear life. But, I began to change in the most un-excepted ways!
When I spoke to these doctors I felt something I never really had before self-worth. When I talked about my past traumas, my present insecurities, and my future hopes, they treated them like they had value. Like I have value. I would leave therapy sessions with an odd mixture of confusion and acceptance. Suddenly, I was just like everybody else made in the image of God beautiful, earnest, and just as capable of following my dreams as anyone else. But sooner or later a storm cloud would blow over my head again and I was right back to square one. Sh*t!
This back and forth went on and on, until after graduation. When I finally held my diploma in hand a sort of invisible lightning bolt struck me on the side of the head and I finally realized what I had to do to be a happy person. Not a COOL person, but a HAPPY person. I had to marry myself. I was done dating me and decided to make an honest man out of myself and tye the knot. (I mean this figuratively!)
For better or for worse I am who I am. As long as I try my best, I have no need to feel guilt or shame very long. I know I am a good person because of my actions and that doesn't change if I mess up because I said: "I DO." That means after every mess up, I dust myself off and keep going because I'm ok and I know the love I have for myself is not going to waiver. Because I can't lose my own being, can I? When I'm healthy I'm going to cheer myself on to keep going. When I'm sick, I'll play doctor until I'm back to health. I'll ask for help and doesn't make me less of a person, I'll talk openly and honestly about my autism as it is just a part of that makes more beautiful in the eyes of God. For better or for worse. I committed to myself until I meet my natural end!
I know what your thinking. Another loser who is just proclaiming self-help as a way to fix all issues. We've all walked down the isle of self-help books and been confused by the jargon these people throw out. I am saying this as a human being. All things are transient, the world is cruel, and it goes by much too fast. So with these cruel facts of life as they are and not changing anytime soon. I say that if you lose everything else at one point or another if you stare up into the night sky and feel a void( as we all do) then making a commitment of love to the one thing you can't lose and the only thing you take into eternity: YOURSELF.
Whether you believe you are worth it or not, you've all you got in the end. So take care of yourself. Love yourself as much as you can and do everyone else a favor by treating them as you like to be treated. You can't sacrifice others to yourself. If you do then your back on the road to self-destruction. Do the best you can, but the world is cruel. But as long as you love yourself you'll strive to the horizon. You'll get knocked down and know it's not always your fault then get back up. You'll make personal changes to be a better person and it's not because of your a bad person. It's because you're a human being and you can attach a greater meaning to your life than just trying to pull yourself up by your boot straps and not mess up again(you will). In short, you'll survive.
Go to doctors and ask for help! They'll help you know and understand yourself and then you'll take care of yourself. Once you start taking care of yourself then you'll know truly at heart you are not a bad person. That you have the power to make decisions and decisions change your life and once you've changed your life you realize it can be almost anything you want it to be. You can be a happy person and you have the power to see the silver lining of any situattion. This isn't permission to do others wrong, this is permission to give yourself the right you've all desired in life. The answer is YES to the question of can I survive as long as I love myself. But, you'll see as you change that now that you're married to yourself you know how to treat and care for others as human beings made in the image of God. So you'll reach out(at your own pace and find people that eventually suit you and help you grow. But in the end you only can rely on yourself, so make sure you've said: "I DO."
SORRY, THIS IS SO LONG, I JUST GOT ON AN TANGENT AND THIS IS THE RESULT. IM NOT SAYING ALL OF THIS IS IS A PERFECT INTERPRETATION OF MY LIFE OR YOURS IT'S JUST THE BEST I GOT. I THINK MY FIRST POST SHOULD STATE MY CURRENT REFECTIONS ON HUMANITY. THIS POST IS ACTUALLY SHORT COMPARED TO ALL THE THINGS I COULD WRITE ABOUT BEING MARRIED TO SELF, BUT YOU REALLY WOULDN'T READ IT. I AM NOT EVEN SO SURE HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL READ ALL OF THIS.
Thank you all, you read this all the way through. I'll write again soon, about things probably not so personal. I don't like being this candid so much.
ByeBye!
