My impressions of 2026 so far
Good:
the record companies finally saw the light and you can listen to music online
my abuser is dead and can't ever hurt me again
I'm safe & comfortable with enough to eat, in a warm house where there is no fighting or violence.
The computer I have is amazing
I live with [redacted] who is kind and supportive
I am aware of all of me and my other parts are aware of me. The other parts of me for the most part try to support me as I adjust to life in 2026
Neutral:
I still have few friends and no friends my own age
I still live in a place where there is nothing to do
Climate Change. Everything that is happening now with extreme weather was predicted by scientists when I was (physically) a teenager so it isn't really a shock to me
I now live in a location where I cannot receive my favourite radio station.
Other parts of me speaking to me in my head is weird af, I always had some awareness that something was different about me. But I wasn't consciously aware of having other parts before.
Bad:
My body has a collection of illnesses and is disabled
Some part of me or other got my body addicted to cigarettes. I always hated smoking. But now my body is addicted and I have to vape or i feel awful.
I now have to worry about adult things like paying the bills on time if other alters are not around. I/me got charged late fees because I did not know I had bills to pay.
Everyone is addicted to their phones and cannot focus on a conversation for more than two sentences without checking their phone or writing a message while talking to me. It feels incredibly rude and like they don't care what I have to say.
According to the internet, many countries are making transphobic laws
All the online communities I remember don't exist any more and online communities don't work the same any more.
I don't have any real world opportunities to socialise because most places I would want to go need a car or are not wheelchair accessible
