I’m trying so hard to be comfortable being alone. It seems that the loneliness is getting worse though. I find myself wanting more.

I might try a dating app or two here in the near future. But idk. I honestly have no idea what I am doing. I like the idea of meeting up irl with people with a shared interest in something.

Like I’m considering going back on Grindr again, but I was not using it safely in the past. As in, them not wearing protection, me going to their house, not sharing the location with my best friend, etc. Maybe I can make myself use it safely, I was so desperate in the past that I was willing to put myself in harms way so that guys would be willing to use me.

Good point!

That gives me a bit of a new perspective. I have some great things in my life, and they should outweigh the negative. I’ll definitely try to keep this in mind moving forward. 🙂

I’m most comfortable in a t-shirt and underwear when I’m at home by myself. Apparently that is super hot to guys? If a guy were to answer that if I asked (why would I? lol) I’d think being comfy, nice not that’s so hot

Thank you for the kind words. When my son goes to college, perhaps I’ll have the time to venture out and really put myself out there.

It’s so hard to make myself content with being alone. I just want to be ok with it. To accept it.

On the real tho, when I worked retail at a printing/shipping center, a guy came in and started puffing on a weed pen. It was so fucking annoying having to talk to, and eventually kick him out of the store, because he couldn’t wait to do that shit outside.

I’ve smoked and vaped PLENTY over the years, I’d never use cannabis in a place of business. The fuck is wrong with people.

I’m 3.5 hours in right now.

Wow, Ethan really came across as a piece of shit.

Years and years ago, I was a h3h3 fan. I watched all of their videos. I was in it for the goofs and gaffs. Ethan started becoming more and more insufferable. I started watching Hasan somewhat recently, and his coverage of h3 had me wondering if Ethan was always like this or if he evolved over time.

He claims antisemitism for almost any opinion that threatens his worldview. He knows nothing but knee-jerk reactions, failing gotcha moments and ignorance. He is a fucking idiot.

I grew up Jewish. He brings shame to us all by his constant victimhood. Calling Hasan an antisemite immediately let me know that he was only going to argue in bad faith. But that’s what we’ve come to expect from his idiotic platform. If anyone deserves to be de-platformed, it’s h3.

Fuck Israel. Free Palestine, NOW.

Thank you for your response! I know I’m limiting myself by not going out in the world as much as I’d like. I’ve tried to find a hobby that he and I both share that has clubs/organizations, but have not seemed to find any yet.

But you need to be ok with yourself before you can have the best relationships.

Very true. I’m having a difficult time with that, for sure.

The day my son was born, 17 years ago. It was the happiest, scariest moment of my life. Unsure of whether he was healthy, unsure if I would be able to be the parent that he deserved. My life changed that day. It was hard after that, for sure, but it is the happiest moment of my life.

Nice

Here’s an idea: You don’t get to decide if being trans is normal or fine. You don’t get to decide how others choose to live their life or express themselves. You don’t know the struggles that we go through; the hate we have to deal with daily.

Walk a mile in our shoes. We now have to worry about people following us into bathrooms. Our access to medical care and resources, as grown adults, is somehow up for debate. We’ve been scrubbed from nearly all federal websites. We are being removed from anti-discrimination policies, and for what purpose? What good does that do?

There is a reason why our suicide rates are so high. The lack of acceptance by our own families, by the nation we were taught in school is the greatest on earth.

We are defensive because we are afraid that we will be pushed to the edge of society—back into the shadows—because people are uncomfortable with us.

We deserve the same life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness that any American deserves. I am a goddamn American citizen, born and raised, and I feel like this country would rejoice if I were dead.

My ex said to me, upon finding out that I wasn’t straight: What if our son grows up to be not straight? I told her: I hope he grows up to be straight. I don’t wish the evils of this world upon him, just for being who he is.

That was a truly sad day for me.

Being a patriot means fighting for ALL Americans, not just those that you believe deserve it.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their Creator, with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness

Edit: I may have bitten the onion. I really hope this post was meant as satire. But it’s hard to parse these days.

HBO can eat a bag of rusty nails. Rowling is a piece of shit, and they tacitly support her views by giving her even a single cent.

They deserve nothing. They wish to rob us of our dignity. I say we rob them of theirs.

I will rejoice when I learn of his death. No fucking cap.

Not well! My son has an event in Kentucky next weekend. The last time we went, there was trump merch and shit at literally every stand. I’m legit nervous to go this time. The rhetoric has gotten so out of hand, I’m afraid.

Mrs. Renfro’s Habanero Salsa is really yummy and pretty spicy. Their ghost pepper salsa is really spicy!

Happy for you! That’s awesome.

Fair! Do you think that you’d like to have your own kids with hubby at some point or is this enough for you?

You can tell me to stop asking so many questions, it’s cool lol.

Gotcha. Well I hope that things with the bio mom get better over time.

What has been the most rewarding part of being a stepmom?
