The fact that you're all so happy to see me beating depression after this long has genuinely helped make my day. I can't express enough how appreciative I am of that with just one post.
Genuinely, I think I might just be the most impatient person this world has ever seen. If I really want something and I have to wait for it, I feel like I'm going to go crazy while I am waiting. It's very frustrating. The fact that grad school (and therefore teaching) can't start until August of next year just hurts me in my soul.
So apparently my mom, who I assumed would be super transphobic and not accepting of me whatsoever, is actually willing to try to respect me. I'm not sure if it's entirely performative and she's only doing it so I won't cut her out of my life, but it's still more than I was expecting from her.
What kind of corporate fussiness happened to make it so that we never got a promotion between Sonic Drive-In and Sonic the Hedgehog? They literally sell chili dogs at Sonic. It would be so perfect.
