My blackout curtains have white on the other side I am not sure much about the science behind them but they make it cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. They're quite dark on the inside. I got what I paid for. I don't think all curtains are made equally.

It's just as brainless.

This might sound funny, but I swear the four walls help. When I lived right off the water a dehumidifier helped with the high-humidity. Black-out curtains help keep the sun out, but they also keep the sun out if you catch me. Outside of that, I've heard ventilation. Don't forget to drink water, keep your electrolytes solid and take care of yourself.

My brother was the same way. He became best friends with a personal trainer. Not because he was a personal trainer, just in that their interests aligned. Now, they work out regularly and eat all the meats and sweet potatoes in the world. Which is why it'll be hard to find either of those, but he only took the one trainer. So maybe go find one of your own, and become the caveman you've got going on in your head.

Was this taken before, or after you died?

Counter to that, I am the opposite. I like one on one so very much more. About 100xs more. I will do crowds. I will do talks. I don't really care. I just enjoy the experience of a person, more than of a people.

Also, don't worry about dating. Don't worry about how you're making friends feel. Real friends tend to just want to hang, the rest is ancillary. I mean, don't be a f*ckface. But also, if you're just hanging out, I don't think there's been a time I have been required to BE entertaining to the people I love. If I am, it's just out of love, not commitment. You might want to explore theses feelings a bit more in a space you can write in private. Somewhere you can be absolutely dog-shit raw with yourself, and then reflect on your answers and try and work through them. You also might just be facing issues that everyone is kind of stuck with right now. Life is so itchy nowadays.

Also you might just need to talk with someone. Maybe as a way to move some big emotions around that are currently harming your well being.

But I am not you, so I can't really tell you what to do. Just hope you find what you need. If you're young, stuff does get easier as you get older. Only because you care less about stuff that you can't control, or it kills you.

So best of luck, you'll be fine.

I mean, how can you not? My papi used to cook them for me many moons ago, and I still very much so think fondly of them. I have been thinking, so often, about how easy it is to be trans and have an eating disorder. I know this sounds awful, but I have been wondering how many parts dysmorphia are linked. As most of the trans people I have dated or befriended have had one. The masc ones tend to have one to keep andro/masc features. Fem tend to have them either linked to pain or control it always seems. I wish I could say there were some magic way to make folks gain weight where they want. I mean, I guess surgery or working out. I meant more so eat some beans, get some boobies! An ex of mine started taking her hormones properly, and because estrogen loves saving calories for a rainy day, she did end up getting a pair. She gained weight as a whole however, and then lamented that because not all the areas she gained them were where bio-gals tended to gain them.

Now on the fainting and what not, are you okay? Are you eating what you need, as often as you do? Can you integrate small and smooth low impact exercises to work on helping build endurance? To be honest with you, while people are pigs about transwomen (mostly, I think they think transmen don't exist?), they're seemingly still knocking on their doors for the sessy. I can't tell you a damn thing about dating. Likewise, that was super pig-headed because the person you look good for first and foremost is yourself! But I see you know that. You good mami, no worries! Just love you for you.

Cause you hold your shit?

I'm fucked, I'm just fucked.
