The Untamed Wilderness Of The Heart

I SPEAK WITH MY HANDS A LOOOOOOT.... I don’t know if it’s because (possible autism) or just growing up in the area, but when I get really excited about something my hands move. They twitch and I touch my face a looot, or grip my sleeves, or have to hold something or whatever, but when I lose my shit, my hands just go *everywhere*. (Or when I’m trying to explain something. Gestures are actually necessary when explaining roads where I live though, so.... )

that’s actually a big one for me

I can’t for sure say I’m autistic because no “official diagnosis” but I’m pretty sure based on literally every unofficial material I’ve come across that: The sky is blue, we are on Earth, and I am probably Autistic. And also, starting conversations with nonsequiturs if you’re close friends with the person or if something is really, really on your mind. (Not saying “hello” in greeting, and instead announcing something random, like “Today I found a pair of glow-in-the-dark shoelaces at the dollar store! How about that!”) AIN’T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR HELLOS WHEN THERE’S MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO TALK ABOUT.
