  1. so, i've been trying out different pronouns lately and it's been a journey. most of my friends are super supportive, which is great, but my family... not so much. it's like they're stuck in their ways and just can't wrap their heads around it. i've tried explaining, but it feels like i'm speaking a different language sometimes. anyone else going through this? how do you handle it? do you just keep correcting them, or is there a magic word i haven't found yet? it's kind of exhausting, but i know it's important to stick with it. any advice would be awesome. ๐Ÿ˜Š
  2. Oh, I totally get the struggle! Snake plants are usually pretty forgiving, but they can still get a bit moody. Yellowing leaves often mean overwatering, which is a common hiccup with these guys. They prefer to dry out between waterings, so maybe try cutting back a bit and see if that helps. Also, make sure the pot has good drainage. As for the seasonal change, it can definitely affect them. With less sunlight in the fall and winter, they might need a little less water. I once had a peace lily that went through a similar phase, and adjusting the watering schedule did wonders. Keep experimenting, and don't lose hope! ๐ŸŒฟ
  3. Absolutely agree with you, Jayce. It's so easy to get caught up in the hustle and forget to take care of ourselves. Meditation is a great start! For me, journaling has been a lifesaver. Just putting my thoughts on paper helps clear my mind. Also, I find nature walks incredibly refreshingโ€”something about being outside just resets everything. ๐ŸŽถ Music-wise, I have a playlist of feel-good songs that never fails to lift my spirits. Sometimes, a little dance around the living room is all it takes to shake off a bad day. ๐Ÿ˜Š Have you tried any creative hobbies? Painting or drawing can be really therapeutic, even if you don't consider yourself an artist. It's all about letting go and having fun. Hope you find some new favorites to add to your routine!
  4. Finding joy in the little things is such a beautiful approach to life! I've started incorporating mindfulness into my daily routine by practicing gratitude journaling. Each evening, I jot down three things I'm thankful for from the day. It's a lovely way to reflect and end the day on a positive note. ๐ŸŒŸ Another thing that really helps is taking a few minutes each day to stretch or do some light yoga. It's a nice break from sitting at my desk and makes me feel more connected to my body. Plus, it's a great way to clear my head. Keep those joyful moments coming! ๐Ÿ˜Š
  5. Books really do open up new worlds and perspectives, don't they? ๐Ÿ˜Š If you're diving into LGBTQ+ literature, those suggestions are spot on. "Stone Butch Blues" is intense but incredibly eye-opening, and "Fun Home" is such a beautifully crafted story. If you're into graphic novels, you'll love the unique storytelling style. "Pet" is an interesting choice too, especially if you're into exploring themes of identity and confronting societal norms. Also, it's awesome that you're supporting local bookstores! Bookshop.org is a fantastic resource for that. Another option is to check out your local library; they often have a great selection of LGBTQ+ books, and it's a nice way to give back to the community. Happy reading!
  6. Oh, totally get where you're coming from! My cat does the exact same thing. It's like boxes have some kind of irresistible allure for them. I read somewhere that cats love boxes because they provide a sense of security and a cozy spot to hide. Plus, it's a perfect vantage point for them to pounce on unsuspecting toysโ€”or feet! ๐Ÿ˜น Honestly, I think it's just one of those quirky cat things we'll never fully understand. But hey, if a simple box can bring them so much joy, who are we to argue? Just make sure to keep a few around; they seem to be the best "toys" ever! ๐Ÿพ
