I was thinking about that word this morning, only having found this blog yesterday. I am neurotypical and I am emotionally affected by “darkness” — very deeply so — but I am also able to clinically evaluate that word and imagine that darkness is perhaps nothing more than that which has not be illuminated — essentially that which we do not know, do not understand, or that which may at present (or forever) be unknowable. I explore spaces like this for the same reason I have done intense psychotherapy and deeply explored my “shadow self” — because I no longer wished to be afraid of any part of myself. Illumination and examination is the only antidote to “darkness.” Fear of the world and oneself can only be eliminated if it is fully confronted without prejudice. I so wish the world and neurotypical people would confront their own “shadows” more — and I suppose that is part of my aim in exploring this content, to assist others in that endeavor. “Human beings exist for the sake of one another: so, either teach them or endure them.”
That is the best way to exist. Know who you are, decide what is acceptable action to you regardless of the emotions involved, and keep yourself to your limits.
"Involved" (fill in the rest...)
I'm going to use this word Athena. Thank you.
Juggling a lot myself; don't view this as bad, more of an extended learning experience.
Life = school. The more tests one passes, the more involved the next.
Keep learning.
"Darkness Series"- Why yes. That does sound great!!
It could be "darkness" for other people is simply where we live.
Very possible, yes

Athena certainly you see all that I see. Yet you express love and kindness in sincerity.
What kept you from foreseeing the event as well as the whole aftermath? Should you anticipated the event, would you be able to prevent the aftermath?
My anticipation is sure rising on this side. Much success on your end!
Nope, no chance of that
