It's been a real past few weeks, so I want to throw some updates about my personal situation on here that are important for understanding exactly where I’m at.
I had a second, non-trans-related surgery at the start of May. Healing from my orchi continues, but recovery from this other surgery has gone a lot faster. My mood was extremely low from mid-April to mid-May as I was stuck in my house for most of the time and couldn’t get out or see people as easily as I’d liked. My body is finally at the point where I can do things like jog again, which I’m especially thankful for because of how much exercise improves my mood and general well-being. I’ve been catching up with a number of friends IRL this past week which has been reinvigorating.
That said, I managed to flush a big part of my social life down the toilet last weekend. Long story short, I ended up leaving the Discord server I had been an admin on for the past seven months. I had initially posted this with more detail on the situation, but reflecting further I don't want to go into it because it's too complicated personally. The Pollyanna in me wants to treat this as a blessing in disguise - I’ve been wanting to explore more queer spaces and change things up, so now life has lit a fire under my ass - but I'm also sad about making my decision.
At least I’m getting some good blog time in. After changing the blog name I got on a give-a-mouse-a-cookie kick and made a number of UI improvements that have been on my mental to-do list. Who knows if I have any readers at this point, but the writing still feels meaningful to me.
Oh hey, and I sold my soul to Instagram finally! I joined because I needed the memes, but now I'm posting selfies on the regular like the basic white girl I am. Follow me: instagram.com/erinholographic
