My life improved so much when I started forcing myself to do things: forcing myself to exercise, to cook from scratch; forcing myself to go to the movies or to museums alone, to wear that really cute outfit just to run errands; forcing myself to read a book, to strike up a conversation with a stranger, to ask for a raise.
Once you begin forcing yourself to do the things that you had been too scared or too lazy to do, you feel a sense of accomplishment that gives you momentum to do even more. It gets easier to get out of your comfort zone & to do hard things.
please i need him to die on 4th of july gaudy as fuck 'america 250' celebration that would be the funniest thing ever i wouldn't even bitch about the fireworks. i wouldn't even do that.
two of my trans friends from the US who applied for and got refugee status in canada have informational PDFs they wanted me to share for anyone interested in applying for refugee status as well, since there's been a lot of misinformation around online suggesting it's an impossibility. it's not effortless and they've had to work with a lawyer, but 245 people from the US successfully got refugee status last year, which was an increase from the year before.
i can put ppl in contact with said refugee friends and or answer questions through them to the best of my ability, but the basics they wanted me to pass around are the claims process flowchart and the refugee claim orientation guide. (please let me know if either link isnt functioning) and the general info that you're more likely to get approved working with a lawyer in your province of choice and slowly building a case than doing an at border crossing application.
Made this post about 15 minutes after the repair guy who fixed the pump on my dishwasher packed up his tools and left, as the dishwasher was whirring along doing my dishes from that morning.
He said the exact same thing, which I did not know before that, so spreading this knowledge.
I am old enough to remember when the guys who are now in the looksmaxxing community would have labeled these same habits as "metrosexual behavior" and purposefully stopped showering so none of their peers would think they were gay
