#neurodivergentstuff

[bianca-alexander88]

shout out to everyone living with a neurodivergent brain, for whom the typical or standard “one size fits all” approach to functioning and perception just doesn’t serve you or speak to your lived experience. 

shout out to everyone for whom self-regulation is a new skill set that you’re teaching yourself through the radical practices of mindfulness, gratitude, and self-compassion.  

shout out to everyone learning how to self-sooth, developing internal validation techniques so you can centre yourself whenever your nervous system becomes dysregulated. 

shout out to everyone who has begun establishing and communicating your boundaries within your relationships; it is not selfish to prioritize yourself, or to fiercely protect your mental health and energy.  

shout out to everyone actively doing the work to overcome traumatic experiences; it is so incredibly brave of you to heal yourself instead of externalize your pain onto others. the potential for post-traumatic growth is real. 

shout out to the Boo Radleys, the misunderstood villains, the anti-heroes, the eccentric outcasts, the magical misfits, and everyone non-normative. you’re my people and i see you.
