~~~
Guess who got all their work during study hall (besides one subject but whatever)?
This ace!
Guess who got FIVE PAGES OF NOTES done in THIRTY MINUTES?!
This bundle of anxiety!
Guess who did their chores for once without anyone yelling at them today!?
This bean!
Guess who drank water today!?
I finished my water bottle just now!
So I'm feeling pretty good, and I'm trying to be more positive about myself to try to condition myself to be more positive about me in general!
Also also, I've been referring to myself with they/them pronouns in a thread with a friend naturally! I was looking through our comments when I realized I had been using both they and she, though with more they. And while it may seem kinda silly, I refer to myself and hear myself be referred to with she/her pronouns all day long, all week long, every month, every year. It's the more used one. But, I'm using they/them on my safe place naturally. It's become part of me, it's routine. I don't have to remind myself that I can use them now, I just do.
And while I know when I asked everyone to use they/she pronouns that I said it felt right, but here's the thing: it felt right, but I've had to learn to use them. For [x] years I've used she and her, but it hasn't even been a full year since I began to use they/them and she/her. To be able to use they/them so easily really makes me feel like I've finally clicked, like the puzzle finally makes sense. It's an amazing feeling
Stay safe kiddos and do something that makes you feel happy!
Love you <3<3<3<3
