I am very autistic. I do not “get” emotions. I feel everything with extreme passion. I don’t trust people who like me. Most of my life I have been afraid.

A promise.

I promise you.

I PROMISE.

Goodbye..?

Since I’ve gone,
you have
done nothing.

Nothing through
the letterbox.

Why?

Have you stopped watching films,
