Grateful that I live somewhere relatively safe

Grateful that in 2003, the ROTC captain had the nerve to tell me that I could not even apply. Much less join. He told me that I was taking six years to graduate college. He said "students that take six years to graduate are undisciplined". And the ROTC did not take undisciplined students.

At that time I felt annoyed because Structural engineering at UCSD maybe takes longer than criminal justice at Sdsu. And at that time I had undiagnosed autism, clinical depression, and Gender Identity Disorder.

But hey

At that time it was Don't Ask don't Tell. And he had no control over that policy

It was not until July 2017 didPresident Trump tweet the military trans ban

Thankful for trans awareness

Hitori ja nai.

Being free. Heard an interview on Radio 4 with a man whose wife has been wrongfully imprisoned in Iran. I can't even begin to imagine what she's going through:(

That's horrible ^^^^^^


I'm grateful for AGT and that I can go to school.

Nice music.

Some articles claim that some defendants got wrongfully executed

Yeah I am so afraid of getting sent to jail

Especially with autism and Gender Identity Disorder

The other thing is that, for over five years I have been paranoid that someone could frame me for a crime. And the judge and the jury could misinterpret my autism symptoms as signs of a "guilty" verdict

For example, autistics such as myself sometimes make inadequate eye contact, or do not express emotions in the same methods that NTs do.

Do you get what I am struggling to clumsily phrase with an explanation?

I'm grateful for going home and going to dinner tonight.

^Wow, I didn't expect that, thanks!

Now that you say it, I am very grateful for deep conversations, including those I've had with you.

I am sad that it was unexpected, you should be reminded more often how awesome you are. I am sorry I caused you some anxiety, I hope you feel better soon.
