They are living in poverty and in jobs that they are constantly on the edge of losing due to coworker conflict and social blindness. Their nerves are frayed, but they can’t afford time off to recover from burnout. The demands of daily life and caring for families, combined with a grueling work schedule, lead them to experience total breakdowns.

– Victoria Lin Tanner on autistic adults on why daily life is so hard and exhausting

December 19-20th felt like a shift. But I thought the same thing happened in at the very end of December 2023. 2024 was not a good year. So, I can’t get overly optimistic about it.

There are seven year cycles for cells and planets and my life. I don’t think most people notice this but due to my life circumstances, it would be hard NOT to notice.

2019 to 2021 were the absolute worst years ever! The longest 3 years of my life. The seven years might have begun in 2018 or 2019. If so, I’m not done yet. So, I can’t expect anything to be over. Plus, there’s the pesky real world.

I can’t say too much. I’m not superstitious but how can I not be cautious about something…possibly good?
