I don't do that.

Once in Hong Kong I was walking through a winding market street when I was stopped by a nauseating odour, and I couldn't get within 20 metres of the food cart it was emanating from without heaving.
On retracing my steps I discovered another similar stall had been setup at the opposite end.
I was stuck! After panicking for ten minutes I had to choose a random building and explored my way to another alley.

I love the music of the 60s and 70s.

How I get more energy from real German folk music than from The Kinks is beyond me. This song pumps me up more than You Really Got Me. It gives me more of that fighting spirit.



What if that mentally challenged boy was right? What if I really am German? What if I take after the Germans on my dad's side instead of the British on his side? My mum takes after her Aunt Beanie from England. My dad takes after the Scots and English. My sister gets asked if she's French Canadian. I think it's great that we're all different.

It still baffles me how a real folk song with a slow temple from Germany can give me more of a drive than a heavy Kinks song.

If that's the case, I won't be getting that Scotland T-shirt with the flag lion after all. I'm more of a jolly red than a cool blue, anyways.

Perhaps some black, red and yellow craft wire to make pretzel charms would be a better investment for me.

Nope, not gender dysphoria.
Not body dysphoria either.
And not simple social dysphoria either.

It's this existence.

My name, my gender, my upbringing, my thoughts, my feelings, this family, this culture, this life...

Everything.

Like...
I couldn't accept living as a human.

Under this name. Under this... Person... Under whatever roles she's playing.
And I don't wanna be 'her'.

Like... Why can't someone else live this life?
I'm sure someone would want to take my place. But instead, it's me.

And I don't like it.

No, it's not about the nasty circumstances and all that is unpleasant feeling as a person.
No, the wrongness I feel is towards existing as a human and as this person in particular.

Like I don't wanna be born here.
Cause it's fricking boring and confusing.

It's like...
... I shouldn't be here.

By here, I do not mean this house, the people or the society.

I meant this life.
This lifetime.



If I die, I'd probably just be ready to not reborn again.

To do that, I have to fix those shite-whatevers piled up by past lives, stupid decisions and intergenerational issues.

In a single lifetime???
In this particular person's life???

Uhhhh...--!!


Would you like to be AI

I love it when Moderators communicate with the little people on WP. It gives me a feeling of community.

I compare myself to LostOnEarth too much. I've got to compare myself to CockneyRebel instead. She seems more mature because she doesn't have the meltdowns and WP moments that I do.

I have a bad habit of comparing myself to members close to my age. I've got to keep in mind that I'm male and Lost is female and males are slightly more affected by autism.

I used to let Poison Sumac grow on my property because it had such pretty colors in the Fall.

I like to have this song on repeat while watching the Olympics and Paralympics.
