When I was a kid I latched in to Surskit for some reason. Loved mine in Sapphire to death and I still get the ol' serotonin rush looking at it. When it evolved, I didn't like the new design. But as an adult I appreciate Masquerain a lot more. Still... Surskit is better.
It hit me very suddenly and very recently that the reason all of my mental health issues have been/are still undiagnosed by a professional is because my brother has caused my parents to unintentionally neglect me. As children he demanded all of the attention and he was an absolute monster to deal with, and both of my parents were so lax or lost on how to control him and I was so quiet and reserved by comparison that it was easy for me to fade into the background. I'm startled by this conclusion I've drawn but it isn't all bad, lately I've been making some sort of peace with living as a shadow where nobody knows me. Fame is an ugly thing (especially these days), I just want to be autistic in peace with a small circle of friends to talk to me. Also, my brother is a lot more chill now, and regrets a lot of what he did. It sometimes feels like my family tries to make up for what they didn't do for me by trying to give me more attention now, but I still feel like I live in the backdrop because it's all I've known. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
