  • I was in the path of totality, but it was crazy cloudy. Figured why not, let’s see it get dark. It was nuts. As the total eclipse started you could perceive the light getting darker quickly. Almost like a dimmer switch got the sky. Then it was dark and cold. It was super cool! I couldn’t even see the sun but it was still awesome.

    I literally had this experience. I had a friend that I had known forever. One day we were driving back from some place after having a great time. He, in a barely audible voice, said something to the effect of why couldn’t you have been a girl. I asked him about what he just said but he just pretended like it never happened. Never talked about it again.

    Edit. I just realized this was a trans sub! My friend in this story is a cis straight man, I am a cis gay man. If this comment isn’t appropriate for the sub please delete it! I was just trying to share a story.






  • I used to do the same thing. The mall I went to was huge and getting from one side to the other took awhile because it wasn’t a straight line. Once I figured out all the side hallways you could use them as shortcuts saving lots of time. I was young enough that everyone assumed I worked there and since I didn’t do anything to draw attention people ignored me.

    Thanks for bringing back that old memory!










  • Here is my 101. All relationships are based on time spent together. You need a lot of hours spent together before the relationship really takes shape.

    If you want to make friends you need to spend time with people you like and who like you back. When hanging out ask them questions. Once they answer, ask follow up questions to show you are listening.

    A clue you found someone who likes you back is if they ask questions about you. When you find someone like this be vulnerable, but open up gradually. Don’t share your darkest secret on day one. It’s overwhelming.

    Make sure to also thank people for spending time with you. As an example, “it was really nice seeing you and talking to you. The time we spend together means a lot to me. I’m looking forward to the next time we hang out!”

    Also be mindful of the energy you bring to the conversation. If you are all doom and gloom all the time it’s going to bum people out. Make sure you balance the conversation with positive or interesting topics.

    If you have no idea what to do with someone ask them if they would like to go for a walk. In the park, around the block - whatever. Walking and talking is a great easy activity.
