Disabled People Who Do Not Directly "contribute" To Society And Need Large Amounts Of Care And Resources

the thing is that childhood doesn't just end when you turn 18 or when you turn 21. it's going to end dozens of times over. your childhood pet will die. actors you loved in movies you watched as a kid will die. your grandparents will die, and then your parents will die. it's going to end dozens and dozens of times and all you can do is let it. all you can do is stand in the middle of the grocery store and stare at freezers full of microwave pizza because you've suddenly been seized by the memory of what it felt like to have a pizza party on the last day of school before summer break. which is another ending in and of itself

I want to heal, therefore I will. It's the first step, one of the most important ones: to decide to heal and figure out how to do it as you go. This is a journey. I am not looking for a cure, I know very well some things in life can't be permanently fixed and life is never perfect. I am looking to live a comfortable cozy life in a way that is sustainable and achievable to me.
