I'm looking forward to things settling down, for sure, and working through things as time goes. It helps that my whole household and three other close friends are also heavily leaning towards moving also. At the very least, I have good friends I've leaned on for years moving to the same general place, and that helps me, mentally, in feeling less like I'm leaving -everything- here.

It's like that weird feeling you get before transition that's like "I can't even wait for the -shit- days"

I'm sure everything will seem like a scream of varying intensity for a few months, but I'm honestly looking forward to the night I go to sleep next to @emanate​ and wake up knowing that this is like... more or less my life now.
I'm looking forward to.. actually -contributing- to a community and looking forward to working hard. I've never felt so full of purpose as I do, and even though I always worry, perhaps excessively, about putting things on a pedestal... Seattle IS where my future is

2018

Holy fuck I don't even. I can barely think past January/February right now. I'm about to uproot my life and leave basically everything I've known. I would be -absolutely- terrified if it weren't for the community I am in, and the love that I have. I do NOT know how I would be getting through this otherwise. this community and my loves have made me genuinely feel that I am moving -into- somewhere I already have a place. I can't express how much that helps

Thank you mastodon for allowing my to only feel slightly weird making a big thread of posts despite a 500 character limit. Warnings/cuts help make things seem not so cluttered to folks who would rather scroll past

2017 was a DENSE, beast of a year and that barely covers it. I wouldn't compare your highlights to mine, or anyone elses for what matter.
it was a HELL year externally, with national politics wrecking us all emotionally and testing our limits on top of anything else going on in our lives. I struggled to find and keep a job while feeling my entire world seemingly shifting beneath me
It was a time of continued realizations, change, and self-improvement. I've spent a lot of effort on myself

-Got in therapy
-got on antidepressants
-Learned that I am ADD, plural
-actually spending effort and time to get what I need regarding my own mental health
-Actually starting to treat myself well and right for the first time in many years

-A la previous job, had a high note of working with younger, K-aged kits and hearing them all call me "miss [legal name]" which was like. SERIOUS MOM FEELS ANS TRANSITION ACHIEVEMENTS
-formulated further plans that have been in the works for ~3 years, to move to Seattle, establish a footing there, and eventually live with my SO(s)
-FURTHER formulated and set a date, bumped up a few months from originally planned, to the end of January

-Made lots of new friends, drifted from others
-Made a lot of realizations, and found purpose through aforementioned epiphanies, about what I want out of life, how I want to live my life, and WHY I am here
-Pretty quickly accepted myself as more nonbinary and fluid than a trans girl. Have slowly and gradually dropped 'she' as a mentioned pronoun pref
-Actually found a seasonal internship job working in education as field tech (IT). Actually enjoyed it, despite its' hardships

-Sank deep into postfurry-ness, which included:
+Rediscovering myself as otherkin through furry-fandom-observation, philosophical musings about technology, and heavy introspection into my past, interests, etc
+Rediscovered my spirituality along the way, by learning of belief and the power of self narrative and perception
+Looked at my past furry self of being a glowy, futuristic, kinky weirdo and going "Okay, maybe I have always been postfurry as fuck actually"

I’m a good ✨plush✨ ;P

Thank you to the builders and maintainers of this platform and instances. I have met wonderful folks through this and again have found better comfort in social media

Ill do i new year synopsis soon, but i just want to say THANK YOU for being a part of this year for me, to some degree. Despite the outside world, you have all shown resilience, fortitude, and the desire and passion to fight in some way. Active, passive, healers and helpers. You all play key roles being exactly who and what you are, and in the face of all of this, you are why i have hope.

Yote: Have you ever had a B&T?
Someone: black and tan?
Yote: bourbon and tequila
Someone: what the fuck

Someone: WHY WOULD YOU ADD SPRITE TO A 7&7

The shitty thing about being open about having memory issues is when people low-key try to gaslight you be saying stuff like “well how can you remember when you have memory issues”
