normalise ‘it’s ok, you don’t have to find someone’ instead of ‘you’ll find someone one day’
[ID: a screenshot of a comment from reddit, with no username visible. The commend reads: This doesn’t make a ton of sense to me either. Setting aside the question of whether gender/sex is assigned or observed at birth, the gender I was assigned at birth was ‘boy.’ The gender I have now is ‘man’. Boys and men have different gender roles, and few adults identify as boys anymore. From this standpoint, every adult has a different gender than the one they had at birth. End ID]
Framing “girl” and “boy” as separate genders from “woman” and “man” is such an amazing take. it’s a framework that accommodates and explains so many trans experiences. Some trans people never were their AGAB. Some feel like they were their AGAB, but that that changed (usually when puberty hits, which is when you start “becoming a man/woman”. The accepted societal path is that girls grow up to into women, and boys grow up into men. But some girls grow up into men, and some boys grow up into women. This guy was a boy who grew up into a man, which generally works out pretty well for people. Some boys and girls grow up into people who aren’t men or women, even! It’s like this random cis guy skipped right over transgender 101, 102, 201, etc. and stumbled directly into Transgender Nirvana.

i don’t think many people realise that “romanticism” has nothing to do with “love”, alone. “romanticism” is literally what keeps so many of us alive. the bright orange rays of the sun when it rises, the rustling of leaves as you walk alone on a windy day or a simple thought of how everyone is the main character in their own lives as you look out of the car window. it’s all about glorifying little acts of everything that exists. looking at the world in a vivid manner or celebrating the exoticism of solitude and the aestheticism of every possible thing in the world. celebrating art and realising that everything you do or see is a part of the history being made. emphasising on every emotion to understand the beauty of it, be it love or sadness. there’s so much going wrong but being a romantic helps you look at the world in the most beautiful way.
