This feels to me like the sort of joke someone would make if they also frequently experienced the first part
Is this something Iโm too neurodivergent to understand?
Maybe not neurodivergent enough?
I stepped on a crunchy leaf and instead of feeling joy, it just reminded me of better times that are never coming back, which is why I am now lying in bed feeling nervous.
No I'm at fucking work.
Get a job as a leaf cruncher
I'm at fucking work
At least you do what you love !
Literally !
I know we don't have many spiritual types on here, but after my dad's unexpected death, I somehow took my deep reverence for nature and my strong nostalgia for little things like that first leaf crunching beneath my foot, and I turned it into my own brand of spirituality.
I don't know if it's akin to a form of animism or what, but (while my beliefs certainly go deeper than observational things and border on druidry more than anything) there almost seems to be a profound spirit that exists within these moments that connects us all to them, and they stir something inside of me far more than any religious tale or sermon ever could.
I don't know what it all means or if it's even real, but it brings me an immense sense of comfort.
I stepped on a crunchy leaf and still feel nervous. Jokes on you
I showed my toddler how to squash a crunchy leaf recently. Very happy crunching ensued ๐. Great vibes
