happy one year of this blog!! for the occasion i eanted to share some random things i do that help w dysphoria
- i google things in japanese, then translate them with the web translation thing thats built in. japanese websites and forums just have a different vibe to them
- sometimes ill replace words i know in japanese with the japanese words when i think. it helps me learn the language easier. (example: i hate this song = atashi kirai this song). if you dont know the words for some, dont use it. but if you do, getting used to replacing words helps.
- every meal i make, i try to make it japanese more. i ate a burger before, just the patty. japanese hamburg steak. if i eat hot dogs, i make them into tako (octopus cut). if you can think it, you can do it.
- i pretend im already living in japan. i know im not, but pretending helps. i just tell myself i forgot i lived in japan, because when i used to live on an island, i genuinely forgot all the time that it was an island.
- i play the japanese voice overs of games, anime, ect. but the game that helped the most was when i pirated tomadachi collection. someone translated all the text to en, but the miis still talked in japanese. it helped me learn some words too.
- makeup. makeup is my best friend. so are filters. whenever i feel dysphoria, i either do my makeup or i use a filter to make myself look cisjapanese.
i know i havent posted here much. i really want to, I just lack the motivation. but ive been doing small things like these this entire time. in fact, after i post this, im going to look up japanese skincare so i can be even less dysphoric. love you all. i hope this helps or disgusts you.
