weekends depend on what i did last night and whether i have plans that day... sometimes you just wanna be in bed for absolutely too long
i've started waking up a little bit earlier because i have been doing morning pages; 3 (ok often it's only 2) pages of handwritten stream of consciousness brain dumping every day before doing much else.
i definitely recommend trying out morning pages, but lately i've been taking too fking long to finish them because i'm on that phone

that is, free writing 2-3 pages right when you wake up. i am spiritually, psychologically, creatively transformed by morning pages. you think it’ll just help you creatively but i feel much less in my head and more out in the world after dumping my thoughts out onto the page.

wake up. get a coffee or a beverage. sit down. set a timer for a few minutes (or even one minute!) and work your way up to a longer time. then write. repeat.

I am typically slow to rise and I don’t have a commute for my job, so I use two hrs of downtime on weekdays to have a slow breakfast, clean up, go outside and sip on coffee before work - I might do some duolingo or journal/make a checklist for the day
weekends I’m up by 9 and scrolling in bed for a bit before forcing myself up for a meal.
I’m overall very happy with it but I think coffee is forcing out some anxiety in me that doesn’t always feel great - I do not recommend that part

the first thing to be said is that this recommendation applies equally to everyone
the next thing to be said is that you have, inevitably, been suffering from a cocktail of depression and anxiety for more than a decade, and this has made you incredibly tired
what you need is to make NYE plans with a good friend you haven't seen in years; she will bring you out to the club and it will be fuckin rad; you'll buy some cute clothes and she'll do your makeup, despite these not being things you really ever do, and you'll forget how much you typically disdain your appearance for one night
next, you're going to have to just read for awhile, books and essays and youtube comments and text messages
after enough reading, you'll have your own thoughts and questions, and you'll inevitably see someone else asking the question "am i trans?"
reading this question will naturally lead to you asking yourself: "am i trans?"
the answer is yes
at this point, you have transitioned into a girl, and everything else is just showing off; decide on a new name; get a therapist and a doctor who are supportive; pump your body full of the hormones it needs; get some cute new clothes and burn your old shit; ask for help picking out and doing your makeup
stop treating your body like a shipping container for your sad brain; transform it into the hot girl your brain already knows you are
