You need to appreciate yourself as a nonbinary person even if other people don't.
It might be awhile before society sees you as a human being. You deserve self love right now.

True love doesn’t wait for perfection. It meets you in your chaos, your flaws, your scars.
It stays when storms rage, when nights feel endless, when you doubt yourself. It doesn’t run from your darkness—it holds you in it.
True love is presence: the quiet “I’m here” when you’re broken, the hand held when you’re afraid, the laughter at your quirks.
It chooses you again and again, even when it’s hard, even when it hurts. It sees beauty in your mess, strength in your struggle, light in your shadows.
Love is not about finding someone flawless—it’s about finding someone willing to grow, to fight, to stay. It’s a promise to walk together, to build meaning in imperfection. #TrueLove is home.
🌿 Learning to Stay
True love begins within.
It’s the voice that says,
“I see your mess, and I’m not leaving.”
It’s the hand you offer yourself
when you’re spiraling,
the breath you take
instead of breaking.
It’s choosing to stay
when shame says run,
to soften
when judgment screams.
It’s laughing at your quirks,
forgiving your past,
and holding space
for who you’re still becoming.
You are not too much.
You are not too late.
You are worth staying for.

Oh man, this article hits so hard.
"Loving how you look, right where you’re at, is about experiencing life to its fullest without waiting to meet some imaginary standard."
I've struggled with this my whole life, but it has been especially difficult over the last year or so. Perimenopause is only making it worse.
I hope you can take a moment to accept yourself just as you are today—and I'll try to do the same. 💖

I live with clinical depression. I’ve lost a family member to suicide.
I know how real—and how silent—that pain can be. But help is available.

ALL DONE!
It took 7 hrs to transform to #rainbow #hair. We finished up after the salon closed. Garlande did a great job! I'm now sending photos & vids to my big Auntie so she can see how I used her gift certificate ❤️
Just got home. I'm very hungry & need to eat dinner. Will update more after I get leg braces off, get some food in me & take care of a few family medication tasks.

I wore my purple sequin pants today. First time wearing them out in public. They are very comfy & breezy so are quite good for warmer weather.
