Story time! a few years ago my grandma found out that my sibling is nonbinary. Sibling was nervous at first bc it was an accident, and even tho our grandma fully accepted me as a trans guy, she presumably had no idea what being nb or genderfluid meant. and to an extent the sib was right—she was totally unaware that those concepts existed when we agreed to meet for lunch that day

but. but. she brought a full on PACKET of printed research and a pen. and asked questions. she took honest to god notes.

so anyway. thank you Grammy for loving your grandkids unconditionally. the feeling is mutual 💕

WIP Thoughts

I picked up crochet several years back. Out of all of the hobbies that I have cycled through over my life, crochet has stubbornly stuck around. While most of my creations tend to the practical (hats, blankets, leg warmers, bags, and more hats) the evolution of my current project has greatly surprised me. I quite a black thumb, so I never really were drawn to lush leaves and delicate blooms. Until now. I found a way to craft my own undying flowers and vines. Looking at each one as I finish my creations delights me in an entirely unexpected way! I am excited to see how this project continues forward. I am not entirely sure what the end product will just yet. Currently I am toying with making a garland of wisteria blooms and strings of hearts to adorn my bed canopy.

“I’m losing my mind”

Ok, then lose your mind.

Lose all that was previously ingrained into you and start from scratch. Start with the fundamentals, what you believe, what is important to you, what gives you purpose and drive. Build around that. Form connections to those fundamentals in your day to day life. In small or large ways, whatever comes easiest. Build a life for yourself that encompasses all that means anything to you.

Allow yourself to lose your mind. Because if you wander lost through the world without preconceived notions of what to make of it, then anything you find along your way that resonates you can learn from and use to craft a new sense of self. A new mind that knows not the boundaries of your last.
