Getting by and making it every day(just rambling)

Doing the best I can, its all I can do. Its just what I need to do.

I had a dream last night, I was alone, I was different but I was how I wanted to be. On a boat in the artic I was with a woman but she died, I just laid down for awhile. waiting to die. I didn't die of course, so I went onto the deck and tied some rope onto myself and connected it to heavy weights. I jump off the boat and into the icy water, I sink a ways down and suddenly I change my mind. I want to live. I struggle trying to untie myself and do get it. I swim to the surface of the water. The boat is gone and I'm most likely going to die. 

I float on my back and look up at the dull blue sky. I have a duller panic in the back of my head.

 

I'm such a sad person, people always have said that to me. Must be in my nature. I think I need a person to help me, but not a real one. I would want me, a wiser me, to talk to. To tell me what to do, how to get through this. But I am that person, I know that I must suffer through this, that It may get better, but its just going to be hard. I've always gotten by on my own, I do the heavy lifting. 

 

Keep going, just keep going, no matter how much it hurts, you'll make your art and then you can die. You can be a sad sack for people like you to look back on and feel sorry for. I live for that, I live for that. I think Im going to watch a movie tonight. Maybe make a plan for myself, to get everything in tract, in control.

I've often dreamed of being a sad sack for others to look back on and relate to. The only thing keeping me alive is the hope that my art will make an impact on someone. Maybe someone will relate to me. Perhaps someone will listen to my music, or gaze at my drawings and understand me, and in essence they will then understand themselves. 

 

I can't live forever, because then I wouldn't mean anything, but I can't die too soon, or I won't be able to finish what I have created.

I have always put on a happy face even though I felt like I was dying on the inside. I didn't know how to express myself or what to say. Somethings you'll have to learn on your own because you know yourself better than anyone else. You know your limits and things that drive you. Try to focus on being a better you the next day and eventually things be looking up. Gender Dysphoria is no laughing matter. Here's an article about suicidal thoughts and suicides. Don't become a statistic. We are here if you need to talk.

I like the new picture you're using as your AVI.

 

The North American Bison has overcome such adversity. It lives through the deepest Winter snow because it uses its head and powerful neck muscles sweep away what separates it from the meager grasses and forage. Just as in your dream you overcome the pull of the rope, and the loss of your boat. Floating on your back conserving energy so you can survive. Keep choosing to fight, and know that tomorrow is another day.

Thank you, I just need to make it through this year. I know things are going to be hard for awhile, but I'll try and make it.

      Views, terminology, and aspects of how events came to be....aren't those directly related to the news item?  If not, I'm rather confused.

      Second warning, this has gotten far and apart from the NEWS item that it started out with and is becoming a flat out battleground over political leanings and terminology.

      Welcome to Lefty Land.... a festive theme park full of sparkles and unicorns, a perfect place except for one evil orange dragon wearing a blond wig.    I'm always amazed at the "flexibility" of definitions.  One person's f@scist seems like a centrist to others.  One person's "moderate" looks to others like the 2nd coming of Fidel Castro.  A normal marriage a century or two ago is now a criminal offense, and relationships that used to be a criminal offense are now open, normal marriages.  Pedophiles now want to be called "minor attracted persons" and teenagers are now defined as children.  A Republican in NY or CA would be a Democrat just about anywhere else.  I'm certainly no advocate for relativism, these are just observations.    What I find interesting about this Australian candidate is the attitude that he shouldn't be allowed to run for office.  Why?  Just because his views are different, or even offensive?  Who makes that determination?  Can an election really be open and fair if it is barred to candidates who are not "politically correct?"  Here in the USA, we can openly have candidates who are f@scist or any other thing they want to be, no real restrictions aside from eligibility requirements related to age, location, citizenship, and criminal record.

      @Birdie You certainly have more patience than I do.  I don't take it well if I get scolded.  Either I sulk or I get nippish.    We had a good Mother's Day here yesterday.  Quite an event, since 4 of my partners are mothers.  GF enjoys it a lot, because she's very (excessively?) proud of having produced her 5 kids.  Her eldest starts school this fall.  Amazing how time flies...

      Reminds me of elementary school when a kid yanked my chair as I was taking a seat. I told him to "go suck an egg" and we both got sent to the principals office. I was like, "tf did I do to deserve that?"

      Firstly, it's nice to hear that your other half is now open to you living as you are!   Secondly, things I have noticed, having started shots just before the New Year: Tears do come much more easily I am far more tender with my wife and I like to snuggle more I have noticed anxiety has an increased effect on me I am on a weekly injection, so when I get near my next shot I have noticed feeling a little emotionally "blah" After shots I am much more energetic and bubbly Otherwise, I wouldn't say I've been on any kind of roller coaster of emotion and I'm far from unstable. So take heart and congratulations!

      Three reprimands in a certain time frame? It seems like they should drop off the calendar after a period of time. How long can they hold a reprimand on the calendar?   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Congratulations on getting the go ahead with HRT. I'm so ready for my wife to drop her opposition. As for the mood swings... I would look forward to them myself.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Three reprimands and they suspend attendance for a couple weeks. 
    • Mmindy
      Good for the other participant. What's involved in a reprimand? At our age, what are they going to do? Withhold snacks...   @BirdieI'm sorry you have to put up with such discrimination's. I'm proud that you're standing up for yourself.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      You’re so nice! Thank you. ☺️

      Associating LGBTQIA+ with pedophilia or "grooming" is a conspiracy theory as old as the study of psychiatry (mid-19th century) when early "scientists" theorized that homosexuality was caused by childhood trauma of having been molested by older men. Some of us have moved on and become educated since those days, but conspiracy theories have an uncanny staying power...the "power" of ignorance, including the titillation of scandal. There is some psychology about people being attracted to outrage and fear. Life is naturally dynamic and uncertain. Unless you have developed a transcendent mastermind, most people have some level of discomfort with that. Therefore, it is weirdly comforting to target a particular thing as a threat and to make a big fuss about it, whether or not it has any credence. And it is comforting to be one among a mass who are equally outraged about a thing, whether or not the thing is real. It is also boosts the ego to speak with vehement "authority" about a thing that is a known trigger for the masses. Like Vicky said, Dunning-Kruger Effect.   However prominent a movement there is or not of pedophiles claiming that their perversion is a sexuality (I have heard of that, but never as it being a major influence), it is the case that much of the viral spread of disinformation associating LBGTQIA+ with pedophilia is due to online trolls. Surely, there are loads of 'em. But here's just one reported story. https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/posing-gay-men-twitter-troll-goes-viral-attempts-falsely-tie-n954721

      Another interesting day at the day-centre....   Another participant called me "sweet cheeks" and we both got reprimanded for inappropriate behavior. 🙄
