I feel this in my SOUL.

Every fucking week when it’s time to go grocery shopping my wife and I are like “what should we cook this week” and immediately forget every food we have ever enjoyed.

i want bi women in lgbt spaces.

yes, even the ones with boyfriends. yes, even the ones who’ve never been with a woman.

yes, i’d love to hear them gush about their boyfriends! i want them to be able to talk freely and feel safe!! even if i can’t relate i want to support my sisters!!!!

excluding bis because you don’t want “het” relationships in your spaces just isolates them and puts them at risk for abuse!!!!

they deserve support and resources and acceptance no matter what.

bisexual women belong in lgbt spaces!!!

Unfriendly fucking reminder that the best predictor of mass shootings is not mental illness, but being an angry young white man who has recently experienced rejection and has easy access to guns.

Bringing this back because it makes terrible people angry. And I’ll add a note to all the people saying “But you’d have to be mentally ill to do that!”: Mental illness is, by definition, abnormal. Does “mediocre white boy is so entitled that he resorts to violence when told no” really sound particularly unusual to you?

I devoted my entire graduate studies and thesis on mass school shootings, multiple murderers, and criminal psychology and I can tell you that this is in fact completely true and is suported by an unbelievable amount of emperical, quantifiable data that I slaved over for years. 💯

Publish that paper.

First day of life up until 6th grade 

Jumped all the way to Freshman year of High School

Then I cut my hair Junior year, why did I do that

Slowly it started growing back and then….

I finally felt comfortable to express myself (the picture on the left was my debut)

At this point in my transition I am 6 months into HRT

A year on HRT

Over a year and a half on hormones. My transition hasn’t been the clearest path but I am so happy that I am on it.

Update:

2 years since my coming out 

2 years on hrt

2.3 years on hrt

2 and a half years on hormones 

Its been a while since I’ve done an update so here it goes

At this point I am 3 years into my Hormone Replacement Therapy. I’m thriving. 

These pictures were taken days apart and I am 3 and a half years into my medical transition (The picture on the right was also posted by Instagram on all their major social media handles attached with an interview I did with them for International Women’s Month)

During this time I was 4 years into HRT. Clearly living for it.

I am currently 4 and a half years into HRT, 5 years into socially transitioning, 6 years into when i first came out to my community around me and I’m loving life more than I ever thought I would. 

Lil mini update!! It’s my 5 years on hormones and I think that’s quite the milestone to be proud of so here’s some pics since the last update.

Can’t wait to see how the next 5 years go!

New Update!!

Today is my 6 years on HRT! Half a dozen years seems like it went by a lot faster than i thought it would but I’m so grateful for the place that I’m in both with my appearance and my perception of myself. I feel a confidence I never thought I could achieve.

me, every time i see this thread: oh god she’s so pretty

me, still scrolling: oh god she’s so pretty

me, at the end: oh god she’s so pretty

It’s back!!

Moon Sign Secrets

Aries: They can burn down a room in seconds and burn out just as fast. Emotions set the flames, impulses boil them with gasoline. Everything they feel is out there for everyone to see. This vulnerability makes them feel weak and open, so they wear a suit of armor. The warrior cries out and the flames engulf all who cross their path.

Taurus: They hold onto precious memories and valuable hearts, even when they have been stripped away from their grasp. Their weaknesses lie in their favorite people, their most beloved places, and their sentimental belongings. Take away what they find comfort in and their lungs collapse. They will scurry away in fear and hide within themselves - forever burdened with the images they have collected.

Gemini: Their words scatter around and in their mind, you can see the puzzle pieces forming but never meeting. They often keep themselves up at night trying to solve their own riddles with no conclusion. Restlessness sets in and confuses them so much more. They must distract themselves from their own equations. It’s the only way they can find peace.

Cancer: More than anything, they adore their hearth and home. They find comfort in warm hugs, familiar laughter, and the smell of home-cooked meals. They are compassionate and bright, but their world can often feel so cold. They look to their family and their loved ones for warmth from their heart’s vulnerable beats. 

Leo: They beckon to hear roars and cheers, chants of their name, rounds of applause for their gifted voice. The praise they desire is often met with silence or disdain. Confidence and power are so often looked down upon.. The anger and confusion unleashes and the growl of a lion emerges from their lungs. They will not be unheard. They will not be another face in the crowd. You will listen. Virgo: Words form like poems and their postures create the image of a fair maiden. You must comprehend their meanings and their gestures for they will never truly express what lies within. A sullen, sophisticated voice mumbles softly from their throat with screams that lie underneath. Everything they feel and everything they experience is hardly ever admitted. But if you listen closely, you’ll hear it all. Libra: Harmony and serenity cannot be found inside themselves, so they search for these qualities in others. Little do they know they are the calm found in the storm of others. They are the rays of light after being lost in the dark for so long. They are the granules of sugar that make life so sweet. If only they knew they are the definitions of peace and love. Scorpio: They hide behind smirks and sadistic jokes, behind piercing eyes and sultry voices, behind powerful stares and intimidating gestures.. Their soul is old and wise, pained and ever-changing. They can turn water into wine, they can form life out of death, they can cause rain where the sun burns, and they are the magnet felt in a crowded room. Sagittarius: They are always searching and roaming just to feel something new, something forbidden.. They are the last of the wild stallions, the new age philosophers. They have answers to questions that seem too complex to be solved. A fire burns inside their heart, feeling everything or nothing is how they find relief. This is why they run so often. They are not running away from others, they are running away from themselves. Capricorn: A brick tower surrounds their deepest emotions and no one dares to climb it. Those that do are met with cynical tears and sullen chants. Their refusal to leave their protective barrier is often contradicted. They crave what every heart cries out for, but they are afraid because their hearts do not beat the same. Aquarius: No one knows what harbors their chest, whether it be a human heart or the heart of the universe itself. All that is known is that it is closely guarded, always on the move. They give away sprinkles at a time that look much like cloud kisses but sometimes you can hear their thunder rumble and their bolts flash, lighting up the sky. Pisces: They are creatures of fantasy worlds, gazing up at the atmosphere, making wishes on every star that twinkles. They idealize their world as though they are making shapes out of each cloud in the sky, only to find that the shapes are not as they once appeared. Tears shatter to the ground like glass when they are faced with realities, but they soon turn into confetti and their illusions take over once more.

Adria Arjona as Amanda in Life of the Party (2018)

When you meet your person, trust me you’ll know. It’s not like anything else you’ve ever experienced. This person will make you feel every possible emotion there is to feel and nothing makes sense without them. When you look at them you will see the most exquisite piece of art you have ever seen. You will look at them and know that their hand is the hand that you want to hold through all of life endeavors and trust me it’s not always rainbows and butterflies. Sometimes you get mad and say things you don’t mean but at the end of the day that person is still the one you want to curl up next to and fall asleep. And when you close your eye’s and imagine your future, that person is right by your side.
