i made a uquiz where i designate you “____ to lovers” pls validate me by reblogging & tagging with what u get

i want people to find me interesting enough to approach me and start a conversation but i also dont do the same thing with people i find interesting. i just assume theyre cooler than me and would be bothered by my presence....which is a really shitty way to live life and i need to do the work to fix that for myself.

i learned that there is a group of wolves in British Columbia known as “sea wolves” and 90% of their food comes from the sea. They have distinct DNA that sets them apart from interior wolves and they’re entirely dedicated to the sea swimming several miles everyday in search of food (x)

ive been feeling trapped in my current life lately 😩 i wanna make some changes but i dont really have the energy or means to "break free" and ultimately i cant reeeally make my own decisions here.

i guess thats a lot of people's experience huh.

been grappling with gender a lot lately. i know its a vast concept that everyone experiences and projects differently, but i think i was limiting myself with internalized notions of "matching" my gender with my pronouns and presentation and stuff.

like. the lesbian label has always felt kinda comforting to me, and i want to understand why. i'm not a woman, im nonbinary. and for some time, i have leaned toward masculine presentation and now most strangers assume im a man. not ideal but far more bearable than strangers calling me ma'am.

i already got top surgery, and ive been on T for a year and a half--long enough to have noticeable scruff on my chin, the beginnings of chest hair, and a significantly deeper voice. i also got top surgery. and overall, i am much, much more comfortable in my own skin than i was before.

but trying to find a label for myself has been rough. ive begun to find comfort in the fact that nonbinary lesbians and gnc women both exist, and getting top surgery and growing body hair do not have /any/ bearing on my identity. but...im having trouble deciding what fits.

at the end of the day, i need to focus on doing what feels right for myself and put the labels aside for later. i think im wasting my time over-complicating it...but its also part of coming into my own identity and growing as a person.
