Sometimes I feel as though I have it so bad

But then I realise that I am not that bad off

I actually have it better than some

I am not homeless

I have food to eat even if there's not a lot

I have access to the Internet

I have people that actually care about me

I have people that fight for me

Fight for me to live

I don't have anything too horrible going for me

Yes I have had bad things happen to me

But I am not the worse guy off

Or person for that matter

There are people that have it worse than me

There are people that don't have a home

And even though my home life isn't the best it's still a place to live

There are people that don't get a meal every day

I can have at least one meal a day

I have mental issues

But there are people that have them worse than me

Causing them to not be able to do things on their own

I have issues with learning things

But there are people who have difficulty learning how to walk and talk

Have a hard time learning the basics

I have physical issues

But there are people that have some that make it so that they can't walk

Or they can't see

Or hear

I complain about how bad I have it

When in reality I don't have it as bad as some

I am lucky

It takes a lot for me to remember that

I am a lucky guy

*I wrote this today. After realising that I don't have it as bad as some. It made me stop and made me think. About the way that I have been acting. No need for details. But I have no been acting the best. Shouldn't have been focusing so much on myself when I could have been worrying about other people. Who need it more.*

Hi DG,

This is a really good reminder for a lot of us that things could be worse. It is nice to see you on helping others!

Hugs,

Disability is a way of looking at life, not whom we are. As someone with "broad across the board" learning disabilities, Ad/Hd, mental and physical health issues, it is so easy, to forget this. Dwelling only, on the negative in our life, closing our eyes, to the wider world around us. Welcome to the wider world, Gremlin. Hoping, you can find things that will challenge and help you, to grow, as a person.

Hugs,

therisa

      All these beautiful people in my biography, I feel so blessed!   No fallout from the Facebook avatar thing, yet. I instantly deleted it, but I really do like the avatar I created. I'll have to recreate it when I'm more out to friends and family.   I guess they weren't dancing, one was blowing a birthday horn and mine was "like, omg, so surprised!"

      Scotland Pauses New Prescriptions of Blockers for Trans Minors

      By Ivy · Posted

      This is what I'm seeing too. I hate it but it is the current reality.  I expect more trouble in the future since "they now have the perfect excuse to let go the brakes." Kinda funny how quickly things turned against us.  I don't think we can really count on the Democrats either.

      Scotland Pauses New Prescriptions of Blockers for Trans Minors

      By Betty K · Posted

      I'm sorry, I don't want to be overly pessimistic, but I think to an extent the truth is irrelevant here. There is an absolute torrent of transphobes-were-right-all-along stories emerging in the wake of the Cass Review, not to mention the WPATH Files. These are coming not only from the usual anti-trans suspects, but from reputable newspapers like the Washington Post and the New York Times. (David Brooks in the Times: "Hilary Cass is the kind of hero the world needs today.") And while I'm aware that both those outlets have been leaning anti-trans for a while, they now have the perfect excuse to let go the brakes.   Ultimately, all that's needed for governments to ban these treatments is enough public support, and I suspect that support may be rapidly growing. Since I work with trans kids, cis folks often bring up the topic with me when they have "concerns", and I have been amazed at the number of otherwise reasonable people who have latched on to classic anti-trans tropes like social contagion or the idea that trauma causes transness. Whereas in the past they were generally convinced quite easily by my obviously superior knowledge, I'm expecting the task of convincing them to get harder starting as of now.

      That does sound hard to keep up with.  I use patches, changed twice a week.  But I have to have my phone set to remind me.  I just don't think about it.

      Ladies, each of your comments makes me realize my decision to share my journey was a good one.  Before committing, I worried that my storyline wouldn't be of interest to anyone. I'm so glad I'm striking a chord with many of you.

      How we look in photographs isn't really anything we can control.  I've actually searched for answers and there are lots of good explanations out there like this one:   https://www.foxbackdrop.com/blogs/news/beautiful-photogenic-reasons-tricks-foxbackdrop#:~:text=Based on the light-creation,angular faces are usually photogenic.   The simplest explanation is a picture captures our image two-dimensionally when in real-life, we are seen three-dimensionally.  A person can be beautiful or handsome in real life but the two-dimensional image can be way different.  So, for those of us that don't think we look good in a picture, fear not.  We are much better looking in three-dimensions.

      Good morning    I should not have said about sleeping in, now I have to go in 2 ½ hours earlier.  Oh well at least I. Off tomorrow and Monday, I think.as of now, hope I didn’t just jinx that too.     Hot today high 80s dropping quickly and rain to the 60s for a couple of days then more normal 70s.  It just depends on which way the wind blows. Off the gulf, hotter, off the ocean, cooler, out of the north rain and when they all converge, look out.  That’s today.   i made a pot of coffee but I think most of it is going to waste.  My wife went back to bed and I’m not good with coffee when I’m hot, and I am. That’s my fault, I was 4 days.late with my E again.  I just st have a really hard time keeping on a 10 day schedule.  And my reminders aren’t helping..   now I’m going to peak by tomorrow since it isn’t all absorbed in one day, I’ll hold fairly steady but if I’m late again I’ll drop well below my target yet again.     Im down in the valley, the valley so low But I see my true love, at the top of the hill i climb the mountain, but she is not there for she has gone back down, to the valley below   I didn’t come up with a refrain and with that I’m calling the guys with the padded cells. lol   Willow
