  • How much time is there ? 😁

    To answer with more than a rhetorical : energy depletes fast with complex social interactions (=with strangers, in a formal setting, anytime something is expected of me…). After that I become too tired to process social cues, infer correct tone, understand subtext, etc. Those are the first to go. Then after a point I also become overwhelmed on a sensory level. If I have to stay there for a longer time, back in the day I used to either 1.push through (this inevitably risks creating mistakes, misunderstandings, sometimes conflict) or 2.slither away under some excuse, or even completely stealthily.
    Nowadays however, I realize that this is who I am, and my struggle is legitimate, and I can only do my best. So now I just say it :

    My brain is wired in a way that makes it difficult to survive long interactions, such as this one. I will have to leave now to protect my mental health. Please do not mistake my departure for something else : it is only caused by fatigue. I had a good time, even if I did not express it very outwardly. Bye Cindy

    I feel like I should add I don’t have a diagnostic of any kind

    Plastic surgeon, RX pad, script, Mofine… I guess Mofine is the new guy they sent to collect at the pharmacy. Italian surname by the looks of it. RX relates to a racecar of sorts, not surprising since surgeons are said to be wealthy. Not sure about the script part though : do pharmacists typically double as programmers ? or is it like, a movie script ? in which case it might just all be cinema. There’s more to this message that we understand right now. Keep digging, Mofine. We’ll get 'em





  • Oh, a genet !! They live in the forests of Mayotte, I’ve seen exactly one live before, she was crossing a road in town, around dusk. It’s weird because she looked so much like a cat (same overall size), but thinner and longer, and her walk was super straight, like felines do when they’re approaching prey and trying to stay low, you know. You could have mistaken her for a cat on a picture… but the way she moved was a total callout.

    I have a cat now, very long and thin also, whom I affectionately call “little genet”. Heheh
