ALL OF ME

By Lian Brook-Tyler

I’ve been judged and misjudged for a lifetime… too this and too that.

This week I walked into a mobile phone shop and asked for help, explained I’m autistic and that “I struggle with things like this.”

They bent over backward to help me… I left with a new phone, everything transferred from my old one, and my daughter’s newly inherited phone set up too… they said “Come back any time!”, I gave them my blessings, which will last a lifetime.

That was something I couldn’t have done even a year ago… simply shown up as me, nothing to hide, nothing to prove, all the mess and magic.

I’m brilliant and I’m clueless. I love lipgloss and silly, pretty things, and I’m fathoms deep, swimming in the mystery.

I am large, I contain multitudes, and I’m living my own myth, at last.

Fellow multitudinous ones, if I know anything by now, I know it’s time for you to shine.
