A part of grief I didn’t anticipate, and it doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon.

Because we don't usually talk about the realities of #grief, most people aren't aware of the many forms grief takes. If it's in the body or the mind - grief affects it. While your "symptoms" might feel weird, whatever you're experiencing, chances are someone else has felt it too.

The golden child is the ‘easy’ child who has learned to suppress their own needs. They tend to raise themselves and suffer silently as a result of never getting true emotional support.

2022: too much drag race too many episodes 2023: you only gave us 40 mins?! how dare you - go back to 90 mins

Sadly not surprising. Based on how it’s gone so far I’m pretty sure two body problem will be a problem my entire career.

We have this idea that grief should be over after 6 to 8 weeks. Because we don’t talk about the lived reality of grief, even grieving people think, “It’s been 6 months, why am I still so sad? What’s wrong with me?” Nothing's wrong with you. You’re human. #SpeakingGrief

You aren't alone if you had to put away your photos and/or go out of your way to avoid looking at photos in your home, at work, at school, or on your phone. That's very common. Have there been times when looking at photos is more than your heart can handle? #PerfectlyNormal

Trans people are a gift from God. May those who aren’t trans bear witness to our authenticity and seek out their own. We’re cheering you on in that pursuit.
