My sister and her partner’s coming over for a pretty big late lunch, and I’m really grateful for that
I’ve done this during an LFG sabbatical, and it’s making me realize just how much I was not getting what I needed out of human interaction from it. I’ve gotten so enriched from playing and running RED, but the community is full of jerks who’ve been insulated from a lot of gming hygiene
Basically, I’m phoning my relatives, I’m meeting up again with pre transition friends I was not seeing mostly for dysphoria reasons, all these people who really mean a lot to me in my life who I was keeping on hold for no good reason. It’s been slow going, but keeping me through the circumstances
I mean, I’ve been saying the former for ages, but without doing the latter I’ve been pretty stuck. I’m not unstuck, but I think I see a way out if that makes any sense. It’s not one thing to change game systems and discord communities, but it’s something else to not need them. It sounds kinda weedy of me, but therapy has helped set and hold me to account for a lot of these goals, so I’m also so glad to be done with the search as well as the assessment period. That was a marathon.
Ngl, I like sort of rapid posting in comment threads in untagged posts so much because cohost makes it easy for things to get buried and lost in the shuffle. I kind of treat it like I’m journaling out my thoughts, so they’re there, but nobody’s really forced to put up with or be inundated with them because they’re behind a layer of UI friction
we went out for all you can eat sushi and my pacing was immaculate. we were going at it for the full two hours and i ended in that right space between full but not bursting
