#Happy daily life

I did it. I called my parents, told them they need to use they/them for me for us to have a healthy relationship, and it worked.

My dad said his love for me is unconditional and he's invested in getting this right. My mom asked in a strained tone how this affects my relationship with my husband, how she's supposed to refer to me with people in her life, etc. (best case scenario given how abysmal this convo went with her a year ago). And we ended it all with our life updates and "I love you"s.

Since it took a lot of research to find articles more suited to adult children coming out as trans/nonbinary, here's the list of (primarily non-aggressive) resources on terms and mindset I texted them in case they can help anyone else:

Itchy sweaters: An ally’s guide to understanding late-in-life pronoun and gender changes (new pronouns = softer sweater metaphor)

Your adult child just came out as non-binary. Now what? (terminology)

What Does It Mean to Misgender Someone? (terminology)

Edit:

OMG Y'ALL MY MOM JUST TEXTED THIS

"I know I was quiet in today's conversation but you are my child and I love you and support you. I want nothing but happiness and a healthy life for you!!!😉😀"

Trying to remember the last time I played hide and seek. The last time I said hi to everyone on the street or saw the girls I spent every day of six years with. The last time my dad picked me up, or my mum brushed my hair. When was the last time I dressed without consideration? There is so much to think about now. I remember falling on the grass at school and making stories with the clouds. Hanging upside down from the swing and realising how big the world was. I wonder on the path of growing when we stop feeling big. I am taller now, smaller still.

in order to live a happy life, you must romanticize everything (and see a good therapist).

daily habits of successful people

reading allows for continuous learning, which is a relevant trait of successful individuals.

having a solid morning routine sets the tone for the day. this might include exercise, meditation, or planning tasks for the day ahead.

creating a daily to-do list helps keep priorities in check. it's a simple yet effective habit that ensures productivity and focus.

successful people recognise the importance of relationships. spending quality time with family and friends contributes to overall wellbeing.

regular exercise is crucial. staying active not only improves health but also enhances mental clarity and productivity.

taking short breaks throughout the day helps maintain focus and prevents burnout. even successful people need moments to recharge.

keeping up with industry tends and business news is essential. stay updated to make informed decisions.

celebrate small victories along the way. working toward achievable milestones keeps motivation high.

this little list works for any definition of success, it is simply the basics.

I’m the happiest I’ve ever been in my life and. I just feel like crying over that fact. a few years ago I was sure I’d be an anxious miserable wreck for my entire life but now I wake up and I love the world and I promise one day you will too. please keep going please hold the world tight. you will giggle at something silly with a stranger. a staff member at a place you frequent will smile when they see you. an elderly person will look at you gratefully for helping them. you’ll cry about stupid stuff and laugh about it later. you’ll drink cold water during a hot day and it will be the best sensation ever. being alive is the best thing I’ve ever experienced.

People are not showing off. They are genuinely sharing happy moments and achievements. Maybe you are viewing from a jealous point of view.
