Hi. I am Pine and this is my first time on a forum. I'm so happy to be here. I have spent my whole life believing that I was intrinsically broken. I remember one of my college professors, a gifted poet, performing a magnificent feat in which he pulled a poem from our minds. I will never forget that moment of awe I experienced as he read me my poem. Someone understood me. They held up a mirror and I saw myself. This is how I've felt for as long as I can remember.
Remember that you are not really here.
Remember where you must be.
Your eyes are about to tell you something that your mouth already knows.
Your ears are about to tell you something your feet already know.
Remember that you've never really been here.
Remember that you have never really been here.
Your nose picks up a fragrance and lets it go.
Your mouth picks up a taste,
and lets it swallow itself up into the very oceans of your body.
Remember you have not really ever, ever been here.
And then I discovered that I had aspergers and my whole life changed. There is a place for me on this pale blue dot and I can love myself for the eccentric that I am. So that's me. Thank you for taking the time to get to know me.
