cliffhanger?

Going Home
By which I mean returning to a previous state
finding it the same but you changed
Aka 'you can never go home again'
But really I'm ok with that
Because I can see it with both pairs of eyes,
new and old
If I say it, it will come? or My intention to write a series of posts on...
House, Revisited
yes, the tv show, but mostly things like
Essay on rediscovering old loves and finding yourself again, but better
Essay on finding what resonated, and not knowing why exactly.
Essay on what gets seen on the outside, versus what goes on inside.
Being drawn to this story and much later realizing why - aka the story of my life (but much much shorter) (ok not the literal story of my life, so don’t get scared off)
Essay on House - rewatching House the tv show, House as autistic character (probably also adhd, let's be honest), the fullness allowed a character that's not identified as autistic (therefore not confined to a stereotype), feeling seen unexpectedly by someone on primetime television, especially as a young teen when I needed it.
The space between inner life and outer expectation.
Essay on discovering a cliffhanger and going back to watch the past, only to see everything in a new light, including my favorite things.
As in a story, so in life.
Aka autism/adhd late diagnosis/discovery.
Learning people, friendships, vulnerability. And other stuff.
A series of essays actually? Very autistic of you.
o thank you, you noticed.
next time: a note on what makes an interest extra special. Or why this.
