I did whatever i want over my holiday break and just accepted that i would gain around 10 pounds, but even though all I did for two weeks was sleep for 16 hours a day and eat limitless amounts of holiday cookies, when i finally weighed myself at the end, I actually lost 2 pounds. I genuinely don't understand how that's possible, but I guess it's a Christmas season miracle.

Some little things that always make me happy:
>Clean, fresh warm sheets that still smell like laundry detergent
>A peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a glass of milk
>A warm bubble bath when it's cold outside
>Waking up before my alarm clock and realizing I still have time to sleep
>Cat sits on my lap while I'm at the PC

I quit drinking nonnies. I was in the alcoholic /g/ thread telling another
nonnie they inspired me to continue my taper. I feel way, way better than I thought I would, and I shit you not, I went from drinking an entire pint of rum a day in December to a week of one glass bottle of light beer a day. I haven't drank in 3 days. I sleep better, I feel better, I'm less anxious every morning, the only issue is I have stinky terrible night sweats, but hopefully after pushing all the grime out of my body and eating healthy that will neutralize. Hurray for not being physically addicted to a substance that makes me fat and scared!

Last night I had an epiphany about how much I actually love being a woman. Back when I was in high school, I had a brief phase where me and my best friend TIF'd out. I had my friends start calling me by a "male" version of my name and using he/him pronouns on me. It came to a point I didn't like my breasts and wanted them gone. At one point my friend got two binders to use from a they/them she made friends with and ge me the extra one to use. I tried it once and quit because the binder was too small and I couldn't breathe in it. I'm so glad I never continued. I love my breasts now so I couldn't imagine not having them. I am not friends with the TIF I mentioned anymore but last time we talked, she is still very much a TIF and doesn't seem like she'll ever snap out of it. That's unfortunate, because I wish I could have shared the following with her.
Women age better than men - Even the most unattractive-considered middle-aged women tends to look better than a walled moid of the same age that has a receding hairline and fat gut. Our softer and gentler features are simply much harder to get rid of. Thigh highs were made for us because we can have nice legs. They look atrocious on TIMs because they have fridge bodies.
Women govern better than men. See the Mosuo in China, Queen Elizabeth of Russia, current Mexican president…It turns out you can be a more sensible leader when you are not a rape ape.
Women sound and move better. I'm tomboyish, but even I can have grace because we still have feminity built into us. The same delicate movements can't be replicate as well by moids without them looking retarded, gay, or creepy. We can sound sensual and husky without having to sound like Elmo.
Women feel better. It is known that sex feel better for women than it does for men. Maybe that's because we actually spend time savoring the experience instead of going "URGH!", splooging everywhere and then calling it done. We are more selective because our bodies are a temple.
I could go on but now it's clear why TIMs want to be us so badly. Except I guess for the days I have to deal with period cramps and the thought of going through childbirth, I'm glad I was born a woman and that my retarded brain back in high school didn't actually go through with mutilating an important part of my body. I treasure my boobs too much to get rid of them. Plus, real boobs feel better than a TIM's bolt-ons ever will. I hope what I wrote will help any of you ladies going through the same and thank you if you read this.

I love my friend; even though we like different things, we get along so well. I love sharing pictures of my husbando with her, I love telling her how much I love her, I love joking with her, I love that she’s always there for me. I’m planning to send her a bouquet of her favorite flowers one of these days; unfortunately, she lives in another state kek so I can't do much to show her how important she is to me.

>>2352436Nona, I'm so glad to see your post! A few days ago, I was thinking about something similar. Since I was little, I’ve been a bit of a tomboy, and many times I felt rejection toward certain features of my body, like my breasts, height, etc. Over time, I realized that my discomfort isn’t really about those features but about the things society has told us we must do if we’re women. For example, I learned that I don’t hate my breasts but rather how sexualized they are, and I also hate bras.
When I was younger, I even thought I was trans; I’m glad I didn’t fall into that trap, kek. Instead I've learned to love my body, and to ignore whatever bullshit society tells me I should do or be.

Im sort of rambling to myself but music is my light and I’m hopeful to make my own shit and study theory. Sometimes I feel untalented but as this year has gone by I’ve been feeling more and more expressive. It’s so stupid to let the limitations of what others have been or not been able to do in the past or how people will perceive you if you put out shit. This age of post-irony, recording random people for being “weird”, and having to satirize yourself to feel good doing shit really made me think about what i’ve been doing to myself, mentally. I think in certain areas I’m still pretty sad about myself of my accomplishments but i’ve been really making steps forward whether it’s creatively or just how productive I am. I am proud of myself

It's early to tell but I think I'm going to be really happy at the new job I just started this week. It's a fully remote creative position, offers full benefits, and pays better than any job I've had in the past. I thought I'd never find another role like the job I got laid off from last year, but this one's shaping up to be even better! I hope it lasts.

Feeling proud of myself for being so outgoing despite it not being in my nature at all. I use to be a hikki and didn’t leave my house for a year, coupled with paralyzing social anxiety for years after that. I still have moments but I feel like I’m not lying when I say I can talk with and get along with most anyone I meet now. People like me and I never thought I would be able to say that.

Whenever I have a depressive episode now they only last 2-7 days and as unbearable as they seem I come out of them feeling even better than I did before. I'm so grateful that I get to have those period that allow me to reset and motivate me to be the happiest and healthiest version of myself. I am open to receive!

Years ago I went to Montana with my bff and dug up a bunch of small sapphires. I recently stumbled on a local lady who cuts gems and I’m finally getting the biggest two cut! She’s charging like 1/4 of what a rando online wanted to charge for it too. So excited to see if/how they turn out! I might find a jeweler next and make them into twin rings for me and my bestie.

I've been challenging myself and managed to meditate, do yoga or sports, journal, read and draw daily for almost a month now. I feel so good in my mind and body, especially because of yoga and meditation. I finally truly feel a sense of pride and self-love coming from taking care of myself and truly achieving a goal I had set myself. It's crazy how a few minutes a day can change you in the long run. Love is the answer !

I love my older sister so much. I'm so overwhelmed with her thoughtfulness and selfless behaviour. I'll always be so thankful for her. She's always looking out for me and willingly putting me first. She knows I struggle and does everything to accommodate me, everything about her feels so safe to me. I love visiting her place and playing Fortnite together, it takes me right back to us playing on her DS together. This even extends to her gf, she's also the sweetest to me and they both feel like family. My sister makes me want to be the best person I can, I really don't know how she does it but I hope she rubs off on me and everyone I am kind to will meet a piece of my sister.
