I hate how people will look at popular indie artists who had one or two songs go viral on TikTok and start making fun of anybody who listens to them. "Oh you listen to Lemon Demon, Will Wood, Jack Stauber, Glass Animals, and Mother Mother? Tsk, don't you know that is stupid TikTok neurodivergent white transmasc preteen music? It's so mid and bad you should listen to real music–" you are a pit of misery
"when people ask how you're doing, they don't really care." most of them do, actually, the amount they care is just directly proportional to how well they know you. you're just mad you can't be the main character of the Twice Daily.
literally though if you feel like your life is slipping through your fingers and every day goes too fast… try doing hard things, not just taking the easy route, like reading and making art and exercising and cooking a meal from scratch and journaling, doing these things without distraction, without being absorbed on a screen… the time will stretch and you’ll be reminded that life is long and beautiful if you make it so.
Body neutrality is very weird for me. I spent so long disliking my body for reasons outside of my control. I had this idea in my head that once I started T I would LOVE my body. And I like it sometimes, it's alright, it's a body and it's my body. So I'm not absolutely in love with my body, but I forget that I used to spend large chunks of my day scrutinizing and criticizing it, wishing it were different. Now it's just a body - sometimes my hairy belly lifts my mood a bit, sometimes the way my face looks is handsome in the right light, even my chest looks more normal, but ultimately it's not the life-affirming, heart-soaring change I thought it would be. Despite that, positive-neutrality is a HUGE improvement, it means that I feel like my body belongs to me, which allows me to be more present than ever.
i like when ppl are like cutely embarassed about being into pretty tame or common kinks. users on here will take forever to admit they like being called a good boy or a puppy and it’s like. you’re a twenty year old gay trans man who spends a concerning amount of time on the internet. that’s not all that suprising
