Life|🌻 Being Considered Normal

💭 Grace and Work Ethic I’m learning to hold both — Grace and Expectation. Grace reminds me that not everyone moves through the world the way I do. Expectation reminds me that structure, timing, and routine aren’t restrictions — they’re anchors. I believe in showing compassion, but I also believe that doing the work well, showing…
