What helps me is to remind myself that the human brain is a meat computer wired by a drunken electrician. It fucks up *a lot,* especially where old habits are concerned.
It will get better. It just takes time. 🫂
Estrogen definitely slows down your metabolism; I've gained weight too.
As for meeting queer friendships hard, because I don't know what trying looks like in your case, so I'll probably end up duplicating things that aren't working for you. The one key thing is you've gotta put yourself out there.
Hmmmmm... Probably riding Shivering Timbers for the first time. That thing is an excellent wooden coaster.

The best advice I ever got was from my dad: "Fail as hard as you can."
He meant that we learn when we fail, and that that's the single most important thing about failure--but if we half-ass it, we'll always wonder if it was just because we didn't try hard enough.
It's served me REALLY well.

Thank you!! 💜

And yeah, it does, but:
1. That's the sort of community I want to be a part of, and
2. It's so fucking worth it.

The difficult one is: You can't set yourself on fire to keep other people warm. The only way that ends is with you burnt up and them still cold.
My dad died 7 years ago, and I'll wonder forever how he would've responded. I think it would've been ok. But I'd do anything to know, even if it was bad.
Thank you!! 💜💜

And y'all know that you can DM me if you want to say this sort of thing, you know. It always makes my day when someone messages me to thank me for SGW. You don't have to wait for anonymity. 💜

I have! Here, listen to the difference it made for me: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ps0qr98SsQmqdFclIB1HtFkOV8fLJtQB/view?usp=drivesdk
My advice is simple: find a speech language pathologist trained in trans voice. They're awesome, and doing it on your own can actually hurt your vocal cords. SLPs can bill your insurance too!

Depends on the clouds and landscapes. Mountains and valleys are amazing, and cornfields aren't. Huge storm systems are amazing, and everyday clouds aren't.
Huge storm systems over mountains are the best.

Good question!
If you're over the muscle, recovery is easier but not easy. In either case, you'll probably be technically able, but there's a good chance you won't want to, especially if you're going larger.
Awww, thank you so much!! 💜💜💜
