flamingswordSoon I will be posting the awkward journaling of my adolescence. For now, here it goes: Doug is now taking Karate 3 nights a week. I am driving not quite 1,000 miles a week. Last Saturday my circle celebrated Ostara, and I wanted to invite some people but never heard back from my HPS on the subject. I've fit shopping, gardening, laundry, taxes, 2 outcall massages, house cleaning, and a dentists' appointment into the schedule of working and getting Doug to Karate. It may be a busy summer. I may not get to hang out online and just ramble the way I am used to. So I want to pack as much mental punch into my posts as I can.
I have one friend who has recently decided to transition, and has to be occasionally assured that suicide would be a bad option. I have another who is needing to let out his inner fifteen-year-old-girl. I have a boyfriend who wants karate to give him back his androgynous figure, and I have me who seems to be the only one who identifies as multiple genders and doesn't angst about it at all. So everyone comes to me for advice and support, which is feeding my Daddy complex (because what you can't find outside you must make within, and in my case that's a father figure). And I have support and advice to give but like all father figures I get to angst over whether it's the right advice to give. I go with my gut instinct on a lot of this, and I hope I'll be there to pull people's bacon out of the fire if it turns out I was wrong.
If I give you bad advice, just say so or don't follow it. Don't just do it because I would. You've seen my life, and while haphazard is a style that works for me, it's not for everyone.
