"Inside, we’re ageless. And when we talk to ourselves, it’s the same person we were talking to, the same age, when we were little, and it’s the body that’s changing around that ageless center." -David Lynch

hate to be a "it's not you it's me" person but it really is me a lot of the time. like, if i'm scared for my life because someone is talking in a frustrated tone, it doesn't mean they're a dangerous person for experiencing frustration, it means i'm projecting past adverse experiences onto them. I feel like it's important to notice when you're projecting instead of just saying "trust your gut" in every situation when you're aware your perspective is skewed

I’m terrified.

until they stop fucking with my friends, until they make a country that is safe outside this room, until those fucking nazis are afraid again, this isn't just a wrestling show

that's a happy ending, kindness in action can do some good here and there.

I assure you: somebody, somewhere, is on the exact same wavelength as you are.

So I started on this journey today.

choosing to allocate spoons to hanging out and having a good time at the cost of perfectly completing all your work is not a failing it is in fact an act of survival. “too sick to work = too sick to play” is in fact ableist bullshit that you don’t have to buy into. and the fact that leisure time is treated like a privilege is a fucking travesty

Happy Pride.

During Pride a few years ago, I came out to my closest people as non-binary. It’s been interesting to see how nothing really changed. AFAB NB gets treated as “woman but quirky” or “woman but childfree” or “woman but with different pronouns” or even “just a phase.” But I’m not a woman.

Earlier this spring, I promised myself that I would come out as trans, as a trans man. I want HRT and top surgery. But I’m not just a man…

I don’t know how to explain what I am. I don’t know how to embody what I am. Is my relationship with my gender genuine to who I am or the result of trauma and abuse? Does it matter, if the desire and dysphoria remain the same?

I’m unsure, I’m afraid, and I’m alone.

Happy Pride.

Honestly, I’m not feeling this week.

It is important to experience safe discomfort in order to heal and grow. Avoiding all discomfort leads to your life narrowing into nothingness. However, trauma brain doesn’t always distinguish between safe and unsafe discomfort - everything feels unsafe. Hence it’s vitally important to have safe and trusted people and tools in your life to help objectively measure risk and gently navigate the feelings that arise from expanding your circle of comfort.
