Oh man Ok, turning this off. Sheesh.
It is brutal to be a Philly sports fan. I don’t know why people do this to themselves.
Musing today that the biggest reason I've slow walked my transition is that I trust few people IRL. tbh most of my "old friends" were barely supportive even before. Newer friends rarely reach out. I don't believe that the whole "you'll find new people" thing will happen. That's hard to contemplate.

Here’s the thing. I have an ok voice for singing… as a tenor. And once a year I get to show it off, and I did yesterday, and people enjoyed it, and I did too. But a year from now I may be Lila everywhere. What to do with this thing that I’m good at but no longer fits? I honestly don’t know.
I’m just going to say that I learned at some point that baseball is one of the cruelest games and that my life was better without caring about it. And then I learned that about football too. And my life is much better this way!
I went doorknocking for a State House race in Delco in 2018. I never stopped being scared, but tbh it wasn't hard. (And we won!) What I mainly learned is that there are an amazing number of people who live surrounded by ads and signs but are surprised to hear there's an election coming up. 🤦♀️
Tonight's bathroom selfie. Not my best, perhaps, but I just felt great tonight. No nerves at all, just euphoria. Sometimes I just can't believe I get to exist in the world like this. After waiting so damn long.
In/outside my daughter's apartment building in Philly Sometimes I think this period of my life is defined by being unable to walk past a full length mirror without taking a selfie.
