Realizing this was a possibility and I didn't have to continue to be unhappy for the benefit/comfort of others was a life changing moment for me. Hard agree.
The flip side of this is that there are people I have cut contact with, here and in real life, for reasons that are my own and not up for debate (or, more accurately, people may debate them but I am not obliged to care or change my mind). If I allow myself this prerogative, others have it too.

Getting a compliment from another guy, about my hair color/style of all things (natural and @marthafleming.bsky.social cuts it) really kinda made my night

Been a long-ass day. That was nice ☺️

The worst news: I tried on the shitty grocery store reading glasses bc the text on the back of the polish I wanted was too small and they helped a bunch

So. That's where my life's at
