No matter what you celebrate, no matter where you are, no matter who you will be with,

Know this:

You are loved.

You are important.

You are not alone.

Hello :)

I just wanted to say thanks for the discussion about non-binary as a label. I always felt like too much of a girl to be a guy and too much of guy to be a girl and non-binary felt even more wrong than the binary labels.. It was coming to Tumblr and seeing your blog and others explain that actually was this whole full-colour symphony not just exactly three boxes that finally made me feel like my identity was for real and not just something I made up..

Thank you :)

hi there!

thank you, i appreciate that! i'm glad the message is being received well. it's definitely easy to feel that way when people are trying to enforce a strict gender binary all over again. you may not fit into those experiences and that's totally fine. queerness is so much broader than people want to paint it out to be. i really love the way you expressed this:

"It was coming to Tumblr and seeing your blog and others explain that actually was this whole full-colour symphony not just exactly three boxes that finally made me feel like my identity was for real and not just something I made up.."

that's such a beautiful way to put it! i'm really glad i could've helped you! people are trying way too hard to enforce a trinary, which is even worse than the binary we started with. it's not 3 boxes. it's a tapestry, a quilt, a piece of music. many small pieces that create a bigger whole that cannot be contained by petty restrictions.

Holiday Check-In: You’re Doing Better Than You Think

The holidays can feel like a lot. A lot of people, a lot of expectations, a lot of emotions—just a lot. If you’re feeling stretched thin, overwhelmed, or just plain tired, this post is your reminder to pause and take a deep breath. 🌬️

Here’s the truth: You don’t need to have the “perfect” holiday. It’s okay if:

You’re not feeling the festive spirit.

Your plans look different from others’.

You’re navigating family drama, grief, or loneliness.

You’re not checking every item off your holiday to-do list.

You’re just trying to get through the day.

A Little Mental Health Check-In:

Take a moment to ask yourself:

Have I eaten something nourishing today?

Am I hydrated?

Do I need a nap, a hug, or even a good cry?

What’s one small thing I can do to feel a little lighter right now?

Small steps count. Whether it’s making a cup of tea, journaling, stepping outside, or reaching out to a friend, taking care of you is the priority.

Holiday Affirmations (Repeat as Needed):

I am allowed to take up space.

It’s okay to feel how I feel.

Rest is productive.

I don’t need to please everyone to be worthy.

I deserve kindness—from others and myself.

If You’re Struggling:

This time of year can be tough, and that’s okay to admit. If you’re feeling alone, overwhelmed, or just not okay, please know there’s support out there. Text a friend, journal your feelings, or connect with resources like mental health hotlines or online communities. You don’t have to carry everything on your own.

A Gentle Reminder:

You’re allowed to celebrate, grieve, laugh, cry, or do all of the above. The holidays don’t need to look a certain way to be valid. Your feelings are valid. You are valid.

Take it one moment at a time, and be kind to yourself. The greatest gift you can give this season is self-compassion.

Sending you so much love.

ten years ago you were so scared of such different things, but you survived them anyway. the same goes for five years ago and two years ago. everything that has ever felt like a hurdle, you’ve passed through. so be afraid, identify your fears, and then allow yourself to remember that in just a little while, this will be another thing that you have overcome.
