Truly not a boring life.
Definitely getting my therapyβs worth.
I had a gummy, smoked, and ate oatmeal and chocolate while playing Tetris effect.
Iβm doing the best self care possible and I think Iβll survive after all.
Fully lucid, no anesthesia/twilight, butt scope was not on my bingo sheet for this week πππ
Yes I know itβs only 5 minutes for a jpouch, but that was an extremely uncomfortable 5 minutes π€¬π‘

This was a lovely talk to give and I look amazing doing it!

βYou canβt do that, you have to like one of us more, you have to pick. Because you didnβt, then you can get neither of us.β
βOkay thatβs not how I feel but I think I understandβ
I never belonged in monogamous culture. My love has always been queer.
Freshman year of high school, I had a crush on two friends so I asked them both to the homecoming dance.
They were friends with each other, so they discussed it, and jointly confronted me.
βYou asked us both to the dance.β
βYesβ
βWhich of us do you really like tho?β
βI want to take both of you.β
Sometimes your people do these amazing, small acts that really remind you βIβm showing up as exactly who and how I want to be and there are people who see me, who get me.β
Today had one of those moments.
Iβve been feeling a lot of those moments lately.
Iβve really lucked on building community.
If I could only beam this photo back to baby Cupcake and say βbaby you can do it, youβre gonna feel great someday. Trust.β
Iβm 38 years old.
Iβve been on hormones less than 5 years.

Itβs honestly unreal getting to look this good π

Like I can remember that, brain chill out, please Iβm begging you.
Writing a presentation about myself is hard in the depth of burnout.
Like I can talk about something I did and sit here feeling dumb like βwow, could I even do half of that now?β
Not having a job is really fuck with me. I spent so much energy and time on my career then took a break and fell apart.
Wow I love getting to wear good looking, good fitting jeans.
*two days later*
Googling: can you hurt your pussy wearing tight pants too often?
Sometimes trauma can really make you doubt whether you even are able to feel safe and be happy in relationships.
02.11.2025 13:02 β π 7 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Itβs weird that the one publication I have is for a social network that doesnβt really exist anymore.
Moreover that I fled the network when it became a nazi platform.
So I researched something that doesnβt really exist and that I donβt really believe in.
But hey, I have that publication I guess.
I studied social network homophily/ filter bubbles and strategies to counteract them.
We can make some really cool graphs to showcase changes over time (pre and post grant to measure efficacy).
I sympathize with the followers who signed to see me being hot and naked and are confused when they see mostly therapy monologue lately.
Itβs not how I expected 2025 to go either.
Wow I had a very hot, gay evening.
31.10.2025 01:06 β π 5 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I'm actually really good at typing my words by myself, usually.
Like a hard conversation about a long distance relationship that just isn't feeling accessible anymore, I can write that myself and it's heartfelt.
Responding to (approximately) "fuck you bitch," I'll use computer resources instead.
I waited until the next day, I fed the conversation and the surrounding context / backstory in, and I said "I don't want this relationship anymore, nor this conversation anymore. I want to use this as an opportunity to restate my boundary without moralizing shaming and giving myself clear closure."

Bonus points for knowing she'd hate that I used AI to write it.
The irony here is sufficiently delicious to offset the guilt of using AI.
Weβre all on our own journeys. Sheβs got struggles of her own. Maybe this is just how friendships work for her, no accountability, or if there is itβs a rupture.
I feel badly about it all, but mostly I feel bad for her. I am a great friend and I show up for people. Sheβs losing out and cant see it.
I got the "fuck you, fuck off" text while at the grocery store.
I have not dissociated so strongly in public in ages. I just checked out and went home and sobbed.
I really deserve better friends. I need to stop trusting that because my people are friends with someone that they're good people too.
When I said "that's fucked up, I don't let my friends treat me this way, you're out until you can be a good friend"
She was so mean. I have never been bullied by another woman like this, least of all someone I have spent so much of my hardest months with, someone I really loved spending time with.
So I hear some hard things and say "wow, I'm going to ask her what she means in her own words then"
So I do, and gosh she was so mean. Just brutally honest now about playing at being my friend because the chance to say "um no, I just don't dislike you enough to ask for solo with Emma time instead."
So Emma asked her what's the deal and what she learned sucked. Our halloween party was about to be just us 3 like most Fridays, and I said "wait, no, I can't do that without knowing what's been going on. I'm really uncomfortable about how she recently spoke to me and I need some clarity."
