OH MY GOD! The thrill that rushes through me, forcing me to express my happiness by joyously jumping, twirling, dancing feeling. thank you, of thank you. I can do it! I do have ability!

COMMENTARY:
Electric, blissful stimming! Nothing can spoil that feeling, not even the heartbreak of knowing that at the tender age of eighteen, I already didn’t believe in myself (hmmm … wonder why 🤔). Nope, it’s all about the stim. Starbursts exploding with delight. ✨
