Anyone Else Remember That Thing When You Were A Child And Finally Figured Out Some Way To Work Around

Anyone else remember that thing when you were a child and finally figured out some way to work around the symptoms of your undiagnosed disability, or just simply happened to have a long enough lucky strike with no symptoms to be able to actually accomplish something, and when you went to share the joy with your parents, expressing your small kiddy joy and pride of how you're so happy that your disability that you don't know of and don't understand finally didn't disable you from something, and their response was something along the lines of

"See how much easier doing things is when you don't choose to be like that all the time? :)"

Well Boils, Ghouls and Non-Corporeal Entities it appears that SPOOKY SEASON IS UPON US!

listen. aging into your thirties rocks. yes your joints get a little creaky. yes you can’t sleep in a pretzel on the floor anymore after a concert or a convention. and you lose some friends. but the thing is that you sort out who your real friends are and you sort out who you really are. and you get to see your friends settling into careers they like, and adopt new dogs and cats, and you find a job you can stand, and get really good at arts and crafts, and maybe that book you loved as a kid gets a movie deal and it doesn’t suck, and you learn to like new food and bake your own bread, and you realize that the great portfolio of self harm scars you all used to curate are going white with age and not updated, and half your friends are a different gender now and so much happier and maybe you are too, and you know who you are, and that it’s a journey and not a revelation. it’s a direction you’re headed, and you’re enjoying the trip.

reaching your 30′s rocks. and i’m hearing good things about what comes next, too.
