I guess sometimes we feel stuff differently. Like I used to have great difficulty identifying when I actually wanted to do something and when I was like ‘yes this is thing I like, must do.’
It’s difficult for me personally to identify emotions a lot of the time too. |

| Dogs and cats are a sensory nightmare. They bark, they shed and the idea of them touching me is gross to me. |

Wet clothes suck. I have an issue with accidentally swallowing water in the pool which means I can’t go underwater. I do love swimming though.

| So today I went to say a movie. (Spider-Man). It was very loud cuz the only seats we could get were at the front. Worse, there was a guy sitting next to me, who, even worse, was eating cheesy popcorn. It was sensory overload. When random people I don’t know sit next to me on trains or in cinemas or ... |
