So I hurt my back yesterday and decided to take a long, hot shower to help out my muscles. I did a lot of meditating and tried to figure out why I've been so unhappy lately. And then later on this old customer at work tried to compare his back pain to mine and it just made me feel that much worse, as though his opinion about me mattered? And I realized that I just need to stop. I need to stop comparing myself to others. I need to stop comparing my struggles to the struggles of others. I need to stop comparing my day-to-day androgyny to the hard work that people put into crossplay. I need to stop comparing my art skills with those who have been doing it for years longer than I have. Because it's all relative. It's comparing apples to oranges which then only serves to make me feel bad about myself. Which is bullshit. I know who I am and I know where I've been. I don't owe anyone any sort of explanation on my name or my present or my past. I just gotta focus on me and my husband and doing what we need to do to get by and what makes us happy. And I hope that you'll join us for the ride. But if not... -shrugs- It is what it is. - Photos by @technichromevisuals and @hezamachan Makeup, hair, and wigs by @previousl.ee Costumes by myself and @previousl.ee Quotes from Voltron Legendary Defender, Yu-Gi-Oh!
