I am having a thought about how apparently when I was very little, I wouldn't always seem to be able to hear my mother when she was talking to me. So she took me to a doctor and they gave me a hearing test and my hearing was fine -- the doctor said I had 'selective hearing' and both of them had a good laugh about it, like I was just being stubborn and choosing not to pay attention to my poor mother.

I was actually disabled the whole time and nobody did anything about it. I still struggle to understand most lectures and videos. Nobody told me and I had to figure this all out myself in my late 20s. It's a miracle I made it through college, really.

I have not been feeling great (?) for the past couple weeks mentally I guess for various undefined reasons that I will keep to myself here. However talking to my therapist today he thinks I should find a trauma-informed therapist when I move. Which is strange because like, I am aware that there are such things, but it also seems like... shouldn't a therapist just be trauma-informed in general? Like that almost seems like something that should just be necessary in their toolbox especially considering the reasons why people go to therapy and that people are often not forthcoming about having trauma.

But maybe that is a thought for another day. Oy.

I have been writing. My boyfriend actually read something I had written and liked it. For some reason not all of my feelings are good about this. Like is he going to expect more from me when I haven't written much in ages, and am still working on... never mind.

I did finally see the Barbie movie on Sunday. I think I should probably write a post about it. Maybe not super detailed, but more than I would be able to do at this time of night, so I'll hold that thought for now, I think.
