1863-project-art: When you see this, I’m going to be in the cab of Strasburg #90, driving a steam locomotive like I’ve always wanted to.I’ve loved trains my entire life. I wrote a whole essay about how they’ve always been something I’ve come back to again and again, which you can find on my main blog - but I’ve had to hide this interest for a lot of my life because I knew my peers would make fun of me growing up. Later, when I got my autism diagnosis, I felt like I had to keep hiding it because it was a stereotype. Here and there, it’s come out in places (read: 2014), but it always went back into hiding.But this feels different - the way you all love Ingo and Emmet for who they are has helped me finally embrace this part of myself again, the way I did when I was a little kid, and now I’m going to finally live that little girl’s dream. She’s going to drive the train nearly 30 years after she started wanting to do this. I cannot thank the two of them - and all of you - enough for finally allowing me to be myself after all this time. It means so, so much to me. -- source link
