*General Trigger Warning*
things are so hard
it's all too much
so much
realizing how much we mimic, how much we haven't actually connected with, how much we don't actually understand, we just do because we know it's the thing to do from learning
i know everyone learns via mimicking and copying. but there comes a point where they actually learn it for themselves, connections are made, understanding is reached.
with us so much is just mimic. mimic and copy. don't understand it. no connection formed. just learning what to mimic and copy. and that's it.
so much
so many
words not coming out like they used to
words not being found as easily
things being overhwleming when they didn't used to be
so much to be processed
so much going on all the time all the time never ending never never never sounds lights things movement so much to take it input input input
so much to process
too much to process
feeling like brain is breaking
feel like something is broken but i don't know what it is and i don't know how to fix it

realizing how much we may be similar to shay realizing more than we thought would be there
