I was in contextual discussion, diagnosed as neurodivergent and found something in me jump to defense. I see now what it was. Considering the meaning of ‘normal’ as that which is common. To neurologically diverge from social norms - This is what I was being told that I exhibit. I decided it a portmanteau fitting of me, yet find the categorization of it as a medical diagnosis - often times requiring treatment to be intriguingly disturbing… There are ways in which I see being ‘common’ as important, and many more - inevitable. Does it seem common to be vastly in denial? How about extremely self-gratifying, hedonistic? Does anyone notice a trend of finger pointing? Stockholm syndrome, this new blind fad. Why might medical symptoms of neurodivergence be in line with itching out of one’s skin? Lack of sociability? Hmmmmmmm… If I can see myself being used as building blocks of mansions and apocalypse bunkers, burned as private jet fuel… If the oppression is clear as day, then what does one do? The answer is simple but not easy to accomplish - diverge. I proclaim that I am neurodivergent because I choose so. It was not such I was saddled with as baggage. It is intention, where enclosed within are the garments necessary for me to navigate this cosmic journey. The prerequisite to waking up? Fuel required to remain awake? It burns to realize you are the cause of your own oppression by way of accepting what is dished out. After the realization comes exactly this, the choice. To diverge. The thought plane is spiritual. To diverge neurologically is to forget the lies. To diverge neurologically is to return home. I do not live lies - I do not propagate them. I have been gone for a mighty long time.
