I recently started doing chores for my mum for the first time, and she's paying me for it. It's so cool to be able to finally do something fulfilling and meaningful instead of just sitting at home all day - even if it's only for about 15 minutes - and then get a little bit of money for it. I get to save up and eventually buy stuff that I want without worrying about spending other people's money. I'm even gonna get a bank account.

On top of that, I'm going to start volunteering at a bookshop soon. Just to kind of get me some experience in a worklike environment. I won't get paid for it, but I'm not bothered by that. It's super relaxed, they seem super chill and understanding of my limits. I get to work in the back, so I don't need to deal with the public if I don't want to. Besides, it's a super nice shop, in a super nice area, close to some stores with food I know I like, and I get discounts on stuff in the shop. There's such a nice selection of books, and they sell music too, with a little room you can go in to listen to all the vinyl. I've only been in there once, but it was immediate good vibes. There's this one person who works there who I only met briefly but they were just immediately warming and friendly, like a good friend.

These are huge steps for me. I feel productive, and like I'm actually going out into the real world and doing real person things.
