I refuse to stop being a silly billy. I will wear my bobble hat indoors. Naked even. How unconventional for a woman. Naughty me.

​

An act of defiance in the comfort it brings me. Silly sensory stuff. You get it, don’t you? I can see you smiling. Except, I can’t haha. Got the bobble hat covering my eyes.

​

So who am I? Do you know me? Really? It’s uncanny. Odd. ​Oh, I sometimes wish the noise would stop for a moment.  ​

​

But I’m happy now. Female. With a neurodiverse identity that I’m beginning to embrace.

​

And you should too.
