i am sad it’s time to remember my unrestricted internet access childhood

Hey! I just discovered your blog! I’m a trans guy and my biggest frustration right now is not being able to go on HRT because I’m unable to afford it myself (as a broke college student) and still covered by my unsupportive parents as far as insurance goes. Even though I’m an adult, I feel trapped by them because of it.

It’s the hardest waiting game. I’m supposed to be making the most of myself in college, but it’s so difficult when I can’t be the person I want to be. I would love any affirmations at all for this. Thank you so much. Love what you do <3

hey! as a trans man myself, i understand that perspective wholeheartedly. do your best to act as you are, for who you are! you're awesome sauce regardless of the body you're in, and you're still wonderfully masculine, even if not externally. i know hrt seems like a long wait, but it'll be worth getting there for sure. you're handsome! fuck anyone who tries to tell you you aren't you, only you can decide who you are. time will bring good, and you can get through this chapter! the end is worth the process, and in the mean time, you are still a wonderful, handsome man, who deserves a place in this world

Some coastal wolves for you all!!

You know what people don’t talk about often enough? Playing catch up in life after spending your teens or early 20s suicidally depressed. There’s so many more layers than just being able to say “I don’t want to die anymore.”

The difficulty in academia or a career after spending years thinking you wouldn’t be alive long enough for any of it to matter.

The exhaustion that comes from self awareness and self soothing, with the constant voice in your head saying “don’t go backwards.”

How lonely it is to watch the people your age starting families when you’re just barely learning what stable relationships are, and the sudden societal pressure of being “up against a clock” for these kinds of things.

The judgement from others if you change your image or interests this late in the game just because you finally figured out who you really are under the demons.

Be kind to those who are developing and blooming after years of not planning on being here long. We are living a life we absolutely didn’t think we’d have, and it’s hard enough without society reminding us there’s expectations of our age.

We didn’t get to be young; we were too busy fighting battles few know.
