I had a good week, got to see a few friends and got my first HRT appointment 🥳
Congrats!!
Hey, everyone is beautiful and unique regardless what and who they are. Only you can decide who you are and how you want to identity yourself, even if society tells you otherwise. Stay safe and enjoy your life!
Slightly hopier. My therapist made me apply for some kind of emergency housey thingies that won't have any space for me (which will make me sad and discouraged) but... Well, a try has been done and some ridiculous part of me wants to hope 🤷
Frusses and upsettings haven't stopped, of course. Neverending struggle to find a comfortable (and lifey) chatty-place, and to perform life-ish stuffs without gettings stressed completely out :( Tried to get a food last night but had to run away because someone was buzzing around the kitchen pestering me until I was overwhelmed and confused and almost cried. Gotta get my own kitchen.
Dumped a 'friend' 'cause I seemed to have fallen off' the bottom of their priority list. Another for seeing my upsetty-frussing and being all like "lol here's a pic of my delicious dinner I made" >:|
I think I'm sad more often than I used to be but that's kindof a good thing because it means I'm freer to feel things as opposed to dissociating or bottling them up or whatever.

Getting close to a trans rally and sex worker fundraiser that my group are organising. Today I'm making some stickers and other silly little things to sell, it's so relaxing.
Pretty good! I got to play some Call of Cthulhu after not being able to meet up with my TTRPG friends for a while. And I got my hair cut and eyebrows waxed at the very gay hair salon I go to, which is always so much fun and so affirming :)
Im doing alright, all things considered. Still stuck in the states but im in a relatively safe city and my doctor just switched me to monotherapy, so i dont have to pee all the time anymore lol
My new coworkers are pretty cool and accepting. At least the majority.
I wish i could gather the courage to start dating again but i fear ill just get hatecrimed
