Pursuing autistic joy at all costs today 🍃🥰
Idk if this is the right place for this but it feels right. I am trying to give myself a day of complete joy today by catering to my autism and staying high as fuck.
I cancelled plans last minute, which gives me the best vibes lol (does that make me a bad person? They were low impact plans). I slept in (till 7 hah) and snuggled my partner, enjoyed my coffee and played my game, started a cleaning task that I've been putting off for months, got terrifically zooted in my weed closet, and now I'm making my comfort lunch (tiny shells and butter/Parm) and it's not even 11.
I feel like a day of this is just so fulfilling and refreshing. I am a teacher so I live a high stress life, and once I started implementing this routine regularly I've had so much more energy and patience at work. I feel like I've given myself permission to put myself first.
This feels like a group that would appreciate this sort of feeling, so today I am giving you permission to put yourself first. Do exactly what you want to do and nothing else (not talking to the intrusive thoughts girlies). Cancel the plans. Stay in bed. What's the worst that could happen, you have a few moments of joy?
