i come from a similar place, and while I’ve been on my own for 10 years now, the crushing grief of my lost childhood has only intensified. now, the whole country i live in is trying to force me back into the same life i struggled SO HARD to escape

I’m also severely depressed and have a painful disability that i have to work through at a manual labor job. all i want, all i need, is rest. but i will probably die working, and so i grieve for my past as well as my future.

sometimes it feels like i will never truly live, and that’s incredibly painful to deal with. dont listen to people telling you to stop being bitter, i know it isnt like that at all.

try to find an understanding community, as well as a trauma-informed (very important) therapist. you may never get rid of the trauma, but hopefully find ways to cope.

I posted under a comment by accident lol

My partner has been on hrt for over 3 years now, she says you’re looking at 2 to 3 months minimum before physically feeling any changes. Its a long slow process, her body still continues to change. Take your time, trust the process. You’ve already done the hardest part :)

My chevy cruze. Biggest dumpster fire on wheels ive ever owned. DO NOT MAKE MY MISTAKE.

I have an ex who is like you, and i love that about him, it is one of his most attractive qualities… we are still besties but didnt work out due to me figuring out my identity as primarily being attracted to femme people (yes i think thats why i loved him so much lol) but he was not into presenting that way. Also i was becoming more and more masc and he’s straight.

Now that i think about it, this might be the opposite of encouraging lmao…hopefully mine was just a fringe case, but honestly the only reason i would ever choose to do it differently if i could, would be because he would have those ywars back to find the right person. I don’t regret the relationship and he’s one of my dearest friends.

Anyyway, im high as fuck and im gonna go watch tv with my girl. Lol

I only have one piece of advice from my experiences: be your authentic self and dont be afraid to open yourself to others. If you do, the right people tend to just show up. its honestly magical. Good luck to you. :)

he could have made different choices, he simply didn’t.

IDK, my mom did this for a front tooth crown, and it looks awful. she regrets it to this day

it would be really funny if Mexican restaurants started denying service to people wearing maga clothing

even Germany is calling it a Nazi salute. reporting you for misinformation. we have full video of him doing the Nazi salute, there’s no way to deny it.
