Smile, please

I’ve been told off my entire life for not smil­ing.  That, and mumbling.

It’s funny really, because you can’t (nowa­days) tell some­one off for being dyslexic, and even less so for being autis­tic.  I am nei­ther, but I am me.  I don’t smile.  I take things seri­ously.  I believe in things.  I’m a good lit­tle sol­dier.  And yet.

And yet.

And yet.  Let me be me.  But I guess for every­one else’s sake, I need to let myself be me first.  And last and always.  Mis­quot­ing lyrics is the eas­i­est way out of most sit­u­a­tions.  Par­tic­u­larly on amer­i­can sit­coms.  Or ice cream.  Ice cream is a fan­tas­tic way out of most sit­u­a­tions.  Except in a desert, in which case you would have to argue as to how the sod­ding ice cream got there in the first place and it’s hardly sur­pris­ing that the flake has melted into the pis­ta­chio.
Hmm.  Emo.  E—-mo.  Nowt more dull.
