Yesterday was my birthday. I turned 59. I grew up never expecting to live past 40 bc of racism. I didn't mention it yesterday in the hope that no one would write me.

I provoke racists on a street level.

I have to meditate on the idea that I am of no value; so I have nothing to lose when they become aggressive and I can meet them stone faced. So far this has always pacified them.

Doctors say that old people are full of regrets.

I'm trying not to have regrets.

I tend not to watch things like mountain climbing where abled bodied people achieve such bc I start to have feelings of regret.

I have a disability - autism - so I'm happy to watch productions where people overcome their conditions or disabilities.

I'm autistic.

Today my biological brother texted me.

I asked him not to.

He did so again.

I explained that my only recourse was to block him and only call him going forward.

I did not judge him bc that would take me away from the Now.
