starting my new year off right (crying and feeling like my birth gender is an inescapable fate and that any attempts to live otherwise is a pointless battle not worth fighting)

i thought strongly about making a barely-half-assed dinner for myself tonight since it's just gonna be me. and i decided that sounded like a terrible way to end the year so instead i'm making one of my favorite easy homemade meals (masoor dal / red lentil curry)

this year was incredibly difficult for me for deeply personal reasons, even beyond the whole Current State of the World. i have been working extremely hard this year to piece myself together and try to be strong. it's so, so hard. especially when i trip and fall and have to get myself back up.

recently i've had a lot of self-destructive impulses to crawl halfway back into the closet. way more than i have in several years. i keep being tempted to willingly suffocate myself and squeeze myself back into a shape that might be more palatable to other people. i know this would not be true. but.

thinking of working on an absolutely deranged art project just for myself because i need to cough up a bunch of emotions and i don't know how else to do it

the end of the year, along with many months of bottled up stress, is making me reflect deeply on a lot of shit and i am quite sad about a lot of things

finally home after nearly two weeks. i honestly had a great time! genuinely! but i'm wrangling with some lingering sadness that i can't do much about. lots of random stuff that sprang up on me suddenly. difficult and heavy emotions that i am struggling to sort out

sometimes i will think about physical touch and hugs and i feel like clawing at my door and yowling at the top of my lungs in distress. for a huge pile of reasons that are outside of my control, i am extremely touch starved and i'm losing my mind

i've also been feeling disconnected from the way that other people view or treat me. i often get treated as "one of the girls" in groups—online and offline—and being misgendered is just an inevitable part of my life. i try not to let it get to me, but it's been really wearing on me. i am not a woman

i have been "out" in some way for most of my life, and used all sorts of words to describe myself. my feelings have shifted and changed, as i've grown as a person. but there's one word that i have basically never used to describe myself: bisexual.

whenever i come across "terminally online" people who do nothing but get into arguments on social media, i think to myself, "you must be hurting so much, and so angry at the world. i'm sorry. please get a hobby that's not just yelling at people online though."

curled up in bed today, filled with a somber sense of mourning and loss, thinking about wasted youth and experiences that i never had and never will have

god i can't even confront the idea of attraction right now, let alone anything even related to kink or sex, without feeling these dark impulses to claw desperately at my skin. i wish i could scream at the top of my lungs or SOMETHING

the thing is: currently, i don't see myself using a wheelchair on an everyday basis. but... they are insanely useful for Big Adventures that involve a lot of walking. i was thinking about renting a wheelchair for a con, but my confidence for navigating on my own is soooo low...
