My week has been going ok, though I’ve been dealing with some identity issues. Nothing I really want to go in to except that I’m reevaluating who I think I am and want to be.
On a lighter note, summer is finally over and the cooler weather has been wonderful. It’s so nice to dress a bit warmer and not having to worry about getting sun burned.
Oh, and I’ve started doing pilates again and my muscles are aching. Hope I’ll stick with it this time :)
Thank you for sharing. Identity issues are no joke, I'm having to unpack a larger amount of gender baggage than the average person (think decades-worth of AGAB plus another decade or two of a career stereotypical to and gate-kept by the other gender). I'm glad I'm not alone in being a little lost on the identity journey, even if yours has nothing to do with gender.
I prefer spring and autumn now I've moved somewhere warmer than I grew up. Especially since autumn means some sunshine and leaves turning color. I finally understand the hype!
Thanks for your kind words, and best of luck to you in your journey. I can definitely relate to feeling a little lost in the whole process. It's gender related but more contained and not as massive as what you're dealing with.
Autumn is my favorite time of year, hope you'll enjoy the season :)
