the bad news:

I'm a developmentally retarded outcast who in hindsight regrets much of the last 20 yrs of his life

the good news:

for someone in that position, I'm doing fairly well and feel like the trajectory of my life is finally-sort-of-maybe-probably-likely back on an ''''acceptable'''' track 🚟🔜🌉

my worldview subjectively feels in accordance with a possible future, and that's a HUGE change

to think it would take me this long to befriend my future self... better late than never 🐀🤝📮🦔
