Even if I didn’t have a solid plan, in the back of my head, I always assumed I’d kill myself.

Now I’m an adult and people my age have their lives in order and I’m stuck here, confused, because I never planned to be alive and I’m so far behind.

I feel like I’ll never catch up.

It's a free pattern, too

Hey dad! I'm back and I have a question: How could I bring up wanting a packer with my bio parents? They have a hard time understanding gender≠sexuality (partly upbringing, partly "I have 40 years of life and know more than you" mentality, partly Brazil) and it was a bit hard to get them to understand that yes, it is possible to know I'm trans by 13/14, it wouldn't magically concretize at 19. So I'm afraid that in their heads it'll be something sexual (I'm asexual as far as I know and also 13. [That's another problem I have, they keep saying what would be "asexuated", or asexual in the no-sex reproduction sense, but I just gave up at this point{I don't think they even know the difference between sexual and romantic attraction. So yeah, this cupioroace panalterous is stahing in his closet}]). So, yeah, any advice?

Hey kiddo! Thank you so much for reaching out again, it's lovely to hear from you! I'll try my best to help! It is quite the situation you've got there- and I've been there, I understand. What I did in the situation was make my own packer with socks/half a foam ball, and it worked pretty well. There's lots of tutorials out there and they should be relatively accessible? Just an idea!

I'm so so proud of you kiddo, if you have any questions or need to talk, I'm always here to listen!

I can add a couple related to bras and periods:

* Bras are not supposed to be uncomfortable. Try sizing the cup up and the band down.

* if the wire on your bra pokes out regularly, you need a bigger cup size.

* to put on a bra properly first put it on normally, then bend over and shake your tiddies into place, then stand up again and scoop them into the cup. They'll feel a lot more comfortable .

* black underwear will mask period stains better (and other stains like from urine loss) but will bleach your underwear over time. This is normal!! Your vaginas pH gets lower when you're on your period and is pretty acidic to begin with. So those orange stains in your black underwear? Completely normal.

In case no one told you growing up

Bras last longer if you let them air dry. Don’t put them in the dryer.

If you have a problem with frizzy hair, don’t dry your hair with a towel. It makes the frizzies worse. (I recently read an article that said to use a t-shirt? I brush mine out and let it air dry.)

Whites wash best in hot water. Everything else can be in cold - save on your electricity bill.

You can kill 99.9% of germs in a sponge by putting it in the dishwasher for a cycle or by microwaving it for 2 min (be sure to make the sponge damp before microwaving and to put a cup half full of water in with it and please DO NOT squeeze the sponge until it has cooled off)

Airing out your room/house and letting sunlight in every so often can decrease the number of household pests like silverfish and ants.

Black underwear is best during your period as stains are less likely to be visible.

To save money, put aside 10% of each paycheck into a savings account. It’ll add up.

Unless your hair has something on/in it (like grease or mud or something), using conditioner first can actually be the better choice. The conditioner holds in the good oils that help you hair look sleek and beautiful, which shampoo would otherwise wash away.

Speaking of shampoo - if you have long hair, washing just the bits that touch your scalp is generally enough. The rest of your hair gets cleaned with just the run off from your scalp.

If you put a tampon in and it’s uncomfortable/you can feel it, you didn’t do it quite right. A properly placed tampon is virtually unnoticeable by the wearer.

Apply deodorant/antiperspirant a couple hours in advance of when you need it. This gives the product the chance to block your sweat glands. Using deodorant just before going somewhere where you’ll sweat (this means walking outside for people in high humidity places) results in your sweat washing the deodorant off and starkly limiting its usefulness.

After running the dryer, use the dryer sheet from that load to brush out the lint catch - it gets everything off in a fraction of the time it’ll take you to get it clean with your bare hands. Paper towels also work well.

Wash your face everyday, or as often as possible. Forget which brand of cleanser is best. Just washing your face everyday will guarantee you clearer skin. And do you best not to pop pimples, as tempting as the urge may be.

Fold laundry asap after taking it from the dryer to avoid wrinkles. This may seem obvious for dress shirts and silly for things like t-shirts, but you’ll notice the difference even then once your shirts stop looking like unfolded paper balls.

So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)

Reblog to increase sample size!

Are you trapped on tumblr right now?

Is there something you planned to do before you got trapped in the endless tumblr scroll?

Are you yelling at yourself to get up and do the thing, but you can’t, because you’re trapped in the endless tumblr scroll?

Consider this your save point.

Put tumblr down, stand up, stretch, and go do the thing you planned to do. Future you will be incredibly grateful.
