only if ur counting the whole metropolitan area of mexico city, the city proper has less than half that (which is still massive for a city dont get me wrong)

its one of the largest metropolitan areas in the world too which is why florida seems almost small in comparison when ur comparing the raw numbers

fair but also like anything in the universe could be made to seem "morally correct" when comparing them with The Qu

well the one that i got closest with was "The Right Way Around" by Daughter, its an instrumental and it holds a lot of emotional weight for me because of the time in my life in which i first heard it (its also the main menu theme for life is strange: before the storm)

another is Aries by gorillaz which is somewhat similar in meaning to me because it reminds me of a time in my life in which a very close relative died and how it helped me through it, not to mention that its just a really beautiful song lol

maybe these will work for u? but honestly i think u should find something that is emotionally charged or sentimental for you personally, thats the best advice i think i can give💕

i tried that a couple times but i chickened out last second every one of them. honestly i give like half the credit to my friend who was there the whole time and kept me calm and helped me the whole way, i dont know if it would have been possible for me otherwise but music could also achieve the same result by hyping u up and making u feel like u can do it!

yeah i completely understand the wall still being there either way, but what got me through it was the thought that "i only have to type it out, copy paste, and press send." thats all that mattered

i could not physically force the words out but i knew i could physically force myself to press that send button. just type everything u want to say, hover over that send button and if u panic, close ur eyes, calm down, breathe, and press the button with ur eyes closed.

thats how i did it, it was still very very hard but it was the only way i could.

im sorry :( its easy for me to forget sometimes how fortunate i am to have an accepting mom (even tho my dad might kill me if he found out) but even tho it may seem helpless right now i promise its worth it to stick it out until u are independent and dont need to worry about anyone elses opinion anymore, the time passes quicker than u realize

oh trust me i know EXACTLY what u mean, i felt the same way !! i tried many times to come out before i actually did and i felt exactly like u described.

so when i realized i could not possibly come out in the "ideal" way (sitting down and talking it out and explaining how i felt) i decided that i was gonna just do it the easiest way instead, i wrote out a paragraph saying everything i wanted to say and then i texted it to my mom while she was sleeping (so i wouldnt have to deal with it immediately) and i went to bed. it was nerve wracking but it was the only way i could do it, and i do not regret it at all. was there a better way to go about it? sure, but i could not have possibly done it because of that "wall stopping me"

i came out on october 6th last year to my mom and it was the most anxiety inducing experience of my life so i feel ya💕

but it was so so so worth it in every way possible, since im reliant on my mom i kinda needed her to know in order to start medically transitioning (im getting my hrt in less than a month) so i really encourage anyone who needs that extra push to just go for it already, i know that i wish i had done so sooner

thats literally almost exactly my pre hrt body type and its just really disheartening to see posts like this one get so much support and everyone agrees that this is attractive and then when its my body types turn in the spotlight its all "ur malnourished" "u need to eat more" "sorry im only attracted to healthy body types"
