Last year's Festive Feast Event was a fun celebration. I branched out from my bland diet and my basically empty fridge to go on a food spree to commemorate my mom. Pretty empty fridge I included photos in my post Festive, but those were from only the first half of The Event, and I had … Continue reading Festive Leftovers
Pharts
Farts—are they a science or an art? Perhaps they're both. Two nights ago, after passing gas, I wondered why it would so often be silent. I found myself pondering the physics of farts. Yes, questioning farts. Question everything has been my motto, after all. "What makes a silent fart versus a non-silent fart?" I wondered … Continue reading Pharts
Mentorship
The writing I've been doing, and my recent therapy session, has me thinking about The Person (and also the mentor I've had) and what I think would be good for me. I've had insanely high expectations of myself in the past as well as criticizing my own abilities, which contributed to horrible mental health, and … Continue reading Mentorship
Is-ness
Something I wrote yesterday to gather my thoughts: I thought about my mom today. I thought about her suffering. After she had died, I took her hand and told her I was sorry, sorry that she had seemingly gone out in pain when she'd said that was what she didn't want, that she was more … Continue reading Is-ness
Move-iversary
Today I baked a cake. Why did I bake a cake? It's my one year anniversary since I moved here. To celebrate my name change As a celebration of the things (which are major) that I've been putting into motion since over three months ago (One of those things is supposed to happen in 3.5 … Continue reading Move-iversary
Polarized
It started with changing my name. First as a preferred name—which brought about anxiety, excitement, an emotional high—and then the process of making it a legal name. During that process, there were things brought to my attention, things that I'd had thoughts, even passing ones, of doing before. Given my new found situation within the … Continue reading Polarized
Professional Nouns
I'll let you guess whether I'm being figurative or literal (since I do hang out in my closet) whenever I say something related to coming out of or being in the closet. Driven Out of the Closet I've mentioned before how I began to explore my gender when I was around 15 years old. I … Continue reading Professional Nouns
Resignation Letter
A future letter. May come off as ungrateful but this is how I feel. Dear The Person, This letter may come to you as a shock, but I want to inform you that I am resigning. I no longer wish to work for you. You said that you would take me with you wherever you … Continue reading Resignation Letter
Identities: An Addendum
I updated my post Identities after looking more into how trees that grow different kinds of fruit can be created. I'm just going to call myself out here and point out that the thing I initially wrote about trees being genetically modified to create such a hybrid tree was probably incorrect. Creating such a tree … Continue reading Identities: An Addendum
Path
I was on a roll with the work project until I got a reply to my email that I sent asking how to do something, and the reply was basically "go find some papers and figure it out for yourself." After getting over my initial annoyance, I tried to do that and ended up still … Continue reading Path
