Hey You, Don't Tell Me There's No Hope At All

Hey, there! You've reached the personal blog of the indie author and musician known as Meg Strayer. If you'd rather see my work than personal stuff, head on down to animasconquestwebnovel for my writing and/or megthestrayer for my music.

I have moved.

If you’ve been followed by a user with a URL that begins with a p and ends with an s, that’d be me. I’d be quite thankful if you followed back.

I finished Fringe last night :’(

This is just a sketch. It will be a watercolor painting in a week or so.

To add: stop trying to pass off knee-jerk reactions as “common sense.” Instincts are for making personal decisions, not for formulating or expounding on in-depth opinions. These require analysis.

Common sense is about knowing how to make beneficial choices for yourself.

Common sense is NOT this weird notion of “I have only basic knowledge of this topic at best, therefore my opinion on it is more ~*~pure~*~ and therefore more correct than that of someone who has studied it extensively and/or experienced it first-hand.”

thoughts

Tumblr has really become more stressful than enjoyable for me, and a big part of that is because I’ve spread myself very thin and have not sufficiently allowed myself to custom-tailor an experience that should be a leisurely one. There is only so much information an average human being such as myself can take in and put out per day, and I have far exceeded my limit, not only here, but in “real life” as well. And, yes, it is taking a noticeable toll.

So, later today, I will be moving. I will be keeping this account up for archival purposes until I’ve gradually transferred everything I want to keep, and I will restore the content of the sideblogs that are important to me on the new account as well. I just have to decide on URLs.

Hey :) Just wondering, what's your opinion on neurodiversity (you mentioned it in your "About Me" page)? Typically, those with variant theory of minds are recommended therapy, etc. Do you think that that is actually discriminatory?

esotericsurgeon-archive Said:

It depends on the therapy and who is giving it. Not all therapies or therapists are created equally, and therapies that work for one person might hinder and befuddle another.

I believe people with a diagnosis should have therapy, but the therapy should be geared towards helping them develop skills that will help them do things and manage feeling confused or overwhelmed, rather than force them to act like a typical person on all levels at all times. Therapy should also allow for, and nurture, self-advocacy; the ability of the patient to know and communicate their individual needs, rather than suppress them.
