of course some of those things were mistakes. it was a glorious mistake to buy a house. but we did it and now I know for sure that home ownership is not for me. we got out of it with minor damage. make mistakes but have an exit strategy.
it seems like big/eventful years happen spaced out by 4-5 year periods of relative stability. both good and bad. and 2026 is looking to be a fairly eventful year if all goes well (and the world doesn't end)
right from the start.. every time i have faced a key decision point in my life i have always opted to regret DOING something rather than regret NOT doing it. To do the Thing, whatever it is, even if its a mistake, to "make glorious mistakes" as Axiom once said to me when we began our relationship
This TDoV I’m posting a raw selfie. No makeup, scruffy and unshaven because I’m mid-electrolysis, no wig. 15 months HRT. This pic makes me dysphoric af. I’m still posting it. Even if I might delete it 😅
I dont go in without knowledge, i research the shit out of whatever it is i'm going to do, i dont want to make a mistake based on lack of preparation beforehand. but i dont stay locked in analysis paralysis. I figure out a likely good path and then take it.
if i ever had any advice to give to the next generations it is that. do the thing, and then pass or fail, you'll know for sure. if you don't do the thing, you'll always wonder what might have been. so take a deep breath, center your chakras, and do the thing
I hovered over that post button for several minutes. That’s me, the real me. Visible. My hair is growing back a lot surprisingly but will never be lush or thick on top. March 2025 was my last haircut
