Haha! I realized I forgot to see if you had responded or not. Sneaking back. Sneakily. I'm glad you got the lot back, even if the faces have changed. Queers of all ages need assistance, flowing up and down - because it's not like we work with a solid roadmap. We're just like...really, really good improvisers =P!
Yoooo, to hard - you go so damn hard! Hahaha! You're a roller-derbier? My rail thin ex would play, she got into it after that one movie with Elliot Page. Even though we're worlds apart it's comforting to know she's out there kicking people's asses (and could kick mine, if she needed). You guys are pretty much the coolest, hardest women alive. So kudos. Also on the park running. My partner just keeps moving us to more and more rural spaces. I think it's driving me batty, but I love her like business. NGL though, I keep nudging her back towards the cities. Cause mama need that social cheese! But I am thankful I've got a handful of love bugs that I hope to carry with me for the rest of my time on this planet that keep me a float with all their loving.
It's funny though, between you me (and the world I guess...hi!) I would have hands-down classified myself as an extrovert. A ravenous one as well. But to be honest, I spent the first x-odd years of my life not saying a thing. Then when I came out, people said I'd never get gals if I didn't open my mouth. And so I freakin' sang. I'm still a total cheese, but things have changed as I've gotten older. I've been thinking about classifying myself as a social introvert instead. But also, and this is the part that still kinda smarts, I've been battling a shitty-kake of thing that has really affected my energy levels. Like, you wake up and you never know what level your pain is going to be at or if your body is going to co-operate or not. And it's really affected the way I interact with others on the whole, because it takes so much more effort to reach that base "me." But before? I was a tour-de-force. Which kinda is what makes things stink. But I also have been practicing some big-time radical acceptance and haven't been peeling off my face for stuff that's outta my control you know? Like, it is what it is. And that helps with a lot of things.
But also, I guess on the cheekier side of things (muwhaha) I get some smiles over the fact that I got to live my big queerventure and have gotten to love so many fantastic people and hear their stories and share moments with them. And like, a lot of people don't even get a taste of that. So I am really thankful for that, and in that sense it really puts a smile on my face no matter what happens in the end. I mean, also I've got a gal who loves me, and is sticking with me through all this crunchy shit. So that's cool too =)!
p.s. - Big love soul sister <3~!
