Thank you, dear.

About to apply for my legal name/gender change on official documents.

I'm so stressed...this is probably my only shot at this, so if it gets rejected... 😮‍💨

It's okay. The boss was demanding, and you were never off the clock 😂

Emma @youremmagination.bsky.social · 3h

You're such a kind soul. Now I'm also celebrating having you in my life too 🥰

Emma @youremmagination.bsky.social · 3h

Oh, really? Definitely preferable to whatever was in all our minds.

Same, for sure. Great place to vacation, lovely people, but don't miss working 3 jobs to afford a 1 bedroom apartment in Lisbon...

It's the same kind of people who'd tell my toddler "No honey...when people ask you how you are, you're supposed to say 'Fine, thank you', not actually tell us how you are"

Everyone's around until it's you who needs help, right? I know the feeling. Well, I'm here for you as well!

Me to other people: "You should celebrate ALL of your victories, no matter how small!"

*Me searching for victories everywhere*

Me: "Wow, this specific curl is curling perfectly today. Yay good hair day!"

*self high-five*

I appreciate you 🥰

Seems like we're in exactly the same boat, lovely. I'm just hoping the kid turns old enough to go live on his own before I lose the rest of my physical and mental abilities...May I offer you a gentle hug?

Don't think she's "okay" but her sister updated apologizing for scaring us with a post that came across "more serious than she intended" and that she asked for prayers because "her sister was under the weather".

Damn it lady! We all aged 10 years with that post!

That's definitely not good. When the chronic pain cuties say it hurts, it's normally really bad.
People still wonder how I walked around for 3 months with a dislocated shoulder after an accident and not notice.
What can I say? It just didn't register above *points at everything else in her body*

Knowing Dolly Parton isn't dying has been the highlight of my day.

Enough is enough 2025...stop this madness!

Morning, lovely. Go crush the day! They won't know what hit them!

No need to apologize to us, dear. Take care of yourself. Hope everything goes well and you feel some relief soon!

Oh, I love this!! May I steal it? 💜

They always go above and beyond to make sure I am treated fairly and kindly. Plus, they all seem genuinely pleased to see me every single time, which is an ego boost in itself.

One of the many reasons why I love my medical team. Their label printer used my government name so they cut off my deadname and wrote Emma instead. Little sweet surprise in my mailbox today 🥰

Small gestures go such a long way and in the 4 years I've been seeing them, their vibe remains immaculate.😍

Photo of the letter I received this morning. The part of the label that displayed my deadname is cut off and "Emma" is written in that space.

One lifetime doesn’t seem like enough to love someone right. Maybe that’s why sometimes we meet people who feel like a home we’ve come back to after a long time away. Maybe souls carry love through death.
Maybe every love story is just a ghost story with a happy ending.

Mostly I feel like I don't miss my country, but then I look at photos and it hits 💔
