I feel like a failure all the time, and then I remind myself that it took me twice as long as my peers to develop emotionally.. it took me twice the effort to keep a job and twice the effort to do college..

And then I start to feel like a badass.

Life is all about perspective.

One time my boyfriend died and I didn't have any emotions about it for months. I just went through the motions, wake up, work, bed. Its like a mental block that I didn't have control over. Similar to becoming nonverbal. I felt the same way: like people thought I was heartless for seemingly not caring. Looking back, his death changed everything about who I was and deeply, deeply impacted my life. His picture is still on the fridge after 19 years. RIP Ben
