here’s to the people who HAVEN’T “always” known they’re trans. here’s to the people who didn’t realize it as a kid or a teen, but later in life. here’s to the people who didn’t know what being trans was until someone else introduced it to them.
i didn’t realize i was trans until i was exposed to the term ‘transgender’ in my college’s pride group. i didn’t have a word for the feelings i was going through, so it took me a lot longer than others to realize what was going on. it’s alright if that’s you, too. you can realize it at any point in your life, doesn’t matter when you realize it, you’re still trans.
But I’m big on pacing myself. Taking frequent rest breaks, etc.
Another benefit of switchbacks.
If you use switchbacks to ascend & descend, you don’t crash. As someone who once had the thought, ‘oh, I can just take this path directly down & avoid the switchback path’ that way lies falling down. And rolling. I was very lucky to avoid broken bones.
whenever I tell someone “I’m tired” and they say “go to sleep” and I say “I’m not that type of tired” and they say “there’s only one type of tired” I always feel amazed. Astounded. How do they not know the different versions of tired.
Physical exhaustion from the chronic illness. Not drowsy, but needs to lay down. Maybe my Hashimoto’s or bad knees or plantar fasciitis is acting up, but either way, I need to relax with an ice pack and a tens unit.
emotional exhaustion. The type of “tired” people mean when they say “I’m sick and tired of x.” I’m so numb and usually I’d be about one minor inconvenience away from snapping but the exhaustion of being alive has gotten so heavy that I don’t even notice inconveniences anymore.
drowsiness. If I’m trying to tell someone I need to sleep, I’ll say “I’m sleepy” or “I want to go to bed.”
unable to process what’s going on but the closest word I can use to describe how I’m feeling is “tired.”
5. The kind of tired that comes with severe brain fog. You don’t mean to be struggling so much just to answer a simple question, but you are. And the effort makes it worse.
6. Mystery Mix, youre not about to fall asleep but what were you doing again? Why? Right. Ow. Would this be a good time to cry?
“Waaah waaah you can’t choose your alignment in Baldur’s Gate 3 😭” you can choose how your character acts can’t you
Even if you consider D&D’s two-axis alignment system an idea that’s actually worth mechanically codifying and not a thing that has done irreparable damage to D&D-adjacent tabletop roleplaying and character analysis in fandom with its mere existence, why would you want it implemented in the idiotic way most D&D videogames do it where it’s an arbitrary label you choose at the start of the game regardless of how you actually end up playing that character.
