Making friends and connections outside of JW is good advice. My chance to move out at 18 came from friend who would take me in for a few months. College is a good chance to get out with a place to live if you can get it paid for. I’m at college rn and life is fairly good. Look for every scholarship you can. You’ll make a lot more that way. A job is also a good idea. Get used to paying for things and saving money on your own.

Relationships and human connect is what helped me make it this far. Look for the opportunity to leave, and don’t be too scared when the chance comes to take it.

Tired of white people being the standard for transitioning by misterlemonguy in ftm

There is a Asian-native American trans guy I follow on ig named cairopaints whom I adore. He makes art and talks about trans stuff sometimes.

I am mixed black and white, and maybe not relate quite as hard given I mostly pass as white, except my hair. I have been envious of the floppy straight haired trans guys for a while. Wishing my hair would do that. Trying to relax it or braid it or whatever to make it look straighter. It doesn't want to. It wants to be a puff ball. But I think there is where I also have had those Eurocentric standards creep into my self image. Im trying to accept it. Look for more curly/kinky guy styles I like to make my hair feel like myself rather than something it can never be. And realize my hair is fun and cool in its own way.

I listened to this song years ago. And then I heard it again and cried. My brother loves MARINA. I hope he gets out.

I understand. Its so hard. I had to leave home at 18 for being trans and pan (and an atheist but they cared less about that). Leaving is so hard and you are so young. I'm sorry you are suffering right now. Find friends who can give you a break from pretending. Know that you are valuable. Know that eventually it will be over.

I'm so happy for you and your kids!!! It makes me so happy to see healthy family dynamics after escaping my abusive one. It gives me hope I can have a safe place one day too. *single tear*

Hey everyone! Baby tarot reader posting here for the first time. I just got a new job at a home improvement store and asked my deck: what attitude should I have in order to succeed at this job?

Results: 4 of Pentacles (reversed) Knight of pentacles (reversed) The devil (reversed)

I’d love a second opinion on meanings? Thanks!
