Not doing too well right now. Currently on winter break so I'm isolated. I think things will get better for me mentally after the break. Really want top surgery but I don't know if my ability to get it will be impacted by all the stuff after January or not. At this point I probably need a break from the news and social media and to go on hikes. Just have to put one foot in front of the other.

I did finally get all of my legal documents updated (minus birth certificate BC my birth state won't let me), so yay for that.

oof, sorry to hear your birth state won't let you update it 😬

stepping away from the internet and going for hikes sounds like a solid plan - I like to sometimes have weekends where I turn off the router and try to live without the internet, lol
