Amelia - Autistic Michigander

Some time ago, someone said something to me that I have thought about every day since.

She said to me “People these days lack nuanced thinking”.

Now, I think people who lack nuanced thinking have always existed.

But it appears(or feels) there is an increase of these people because they now have social media to puke their non nuanced takes all over the place.

A lack of nuanced thinking combined with emotional immaturity make running a social media page an exhausting endeavor.

It will put you in burnout. This burnout will make you hesitate to post or speak of things moving forward because you spend more time dealing with people with their crap takes and this attitude they give you that you owe them your time.

And how dare you block them or hide(delete) what they say? 🙄

Because they think they’re owed something apparently.

The same people who tell you “well life is unfair” will accuse you of unfairness when you establish some boundaries.

I think this is why I have not been active on this page so much lately.

I’m trying to protect my heart and preserve my energy.

Daily, I think of how to navigate(deep thinking) this issue above so I can get back to something I love.

I even find myself getting tired when I see other creators on this app debating these contrarians and giving them even a second of their time.

If you have found a way to deal with this issue and you’re seeing good results, please help this gal out and give her some good advice ❤️

Don’t watch East of Eden until you’ve read the book.

It’s one of the best books I’ve read in my lifetime hands down.

“Upping the taxes on the rich will only drive them out”

Yeah? So where do you think they’re going?

All the exciting things that happened on week two healing from surgery ❤️

The neighbors cow got out. I was on my way home when it happened. We made eye contact. She’s a beautiful fawn, brown eyed girl. I imagined her saying “bye bi***es” to the other cows as she pranced down the road.

No, I didn’t chase her down because I just had major abdominal surgery. I did drive by a day later and it appears she’s back in jail 😂

Yes, I’m driving. Surgeon approved. As long as I haven’t taken any pain meds. I haven’t needed my pain meds since 4 days after surgery.

I’ve been counting bunnies on our property. So far, I’ve counted about 8 at one time. Yeah, ALL of them were adorable.

Freya has been my morning coffee date every single day ❤️

I’ve had 2 out of 3 drains removed. I had an appointment a few days ago, hoping the third drain would go, and surgeon decided it’s gotta stay a little longer. It bummed me out a little.

We got a gazebo. Because bi***es love gazebos. I’m bi***es. Salmon Guy got it up for me just in time for Mother’s Day ❤️

I got new compression socks. They are adorable 🥰

We have cranes coming onto the property. I’d like them to stay long enough for pictures. But Freya ain’t having any of that 😒

I’ve been sleeping in a recliner. I’m hoping after next week, I can move back to my bed.

I hope next week brings more adventures.

I’ll let you know if that cow gets out again. She was giving sass and quite honestly, I’m here for it.

I’m on her team 🙌🏻
