How do you say that??

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Pirogis aren't German.
I hope having the diagnosis helps, Zen. Medication makes a very noticeable difference to my ability to, like, manage, but just having a rational reason to try to talk myself out of beating myself for being lazy, disorganized, etc has been a real godsend.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I know how I felt when I found out about Sensory Processing Disorder, which explained so much about my being bothered by stuff

Ace and pan, and a relief to figure that out too.
I've named the self-destructive voice in my head Gary and picture him as a big grey stuffy doll so I can mentally punch him in the face. "Shut up, Gary!"
The one in my head is my grandmother. She's been dead 40 years and still won't hush up.

Still working on it, too, but knowing it's something to work on is huge

What is even happening?
What is "ace" in this context?
I've seen it a couple of times online this week, and then here. I'd never encountered it before.
