If you’re ever in a scenario where u can, try to go by a different name and see what happens.
I’ve always wanted to do this, as I like my middle name “Murphy” but my real name is Hope Fell— which is arguably cooler and on brand. Still, I see the life of Murphy before me. She has the confidence I had when I was 5 and wears thick black glasses and baseball caps.

I've gone by so many nicknames that everybody thinks it odd to call me by my real name at all (some people even get it wrong), so I've accepted having different names from different people. I've always liked my name, especially since my mom put so much thought into it (even the fact it would make a good nick name), but unfortunately I feel like it no longer represents me. I've sorta outgrown it, so Im sorta looking for a new name. Either way the name that matters is the one you feel most aligned with.

I don't think we realize how important nicknames are to our society. When I was a wee lad I thought my name was un-nickname-able and my hopes and spirits were crushed. Years later I have earned a nickname so well that it has replaced my actual name. I think everyone deserves to feel the joy of having a nickname. The community and bonding attached to giving and receiving a nickname is unmatched. Truly a life altering experience.

Slow communication is what I think I was born for.
The fact that people used to still be considered good friends but not know everything going on with each other until they maybe ran into them on the street is so beautiful to me.
I think it really allowed for our internal worlds to develop and flourish while making those moments you share with others so much more meaningful.
Anyhow I’m doing this with my friend who is moving to Kansas and it makes me so happy, I’m buying cute stationary for us. Maybe even a wax stamp maker.

I went to a friend’s birthday party last night who I hadn’t seen in almost 2 years and I was nervous about it until I noticed the amount of septum piercings in the room. Huge difference. This may be a regular thing in nyc or something but I’m in north Florida baby and it was beautiful.
I’m about to go to dykes only potluck party tonight too… so I’ll let u know abt that later.
Ta-Ta!
