come out as trans to my parents. this is The Big One. i've recently resolved to do this before the end of February, so, yikes. there is a very strong chance i will even do it next phone call i have with them!! i'm super nervous but trying to push through it
-
start presenting female in public & private full-time, including voice. in public, i've mostly been presenting in this weird "technically male but very androgynous" state. but i've been dipping my toes in the waters of "going out dressed as a girl" for a while now, and it seems to have gone over okay? a lot of strangers, even when i'm not trying that hard, have started addressing me as ma'am or me and my gf as "you girls" (

), so i'm pretty confident now. this is almost certainly going to happen this year; it's a matter of "when", not "if".
-
eat healthier in general and get active more. partly because i wanna lose weight, but also partly because i shockingly feel a lot better in general when i do these things. i haven't really been taking care of myself properly for the last few years cuz i was in a super bad place. i'm hoping that now that i've worked on my mental health some, my physical health will be easier to manage
-
get a job. the faraway dream would be to make enough money pursuing creative hobbies that it could be my livelihood and something i devote myself to. a nice, slightly more realistic dream (but only slightly) would be to do random web design work for local businesses, or get a transcription job. the reality is probably that i'm going to have to settle for a demoralizing, shitty food service job. still, having money at all will be nice because it means i don't have to feel bad about not really contributing much, and i can get stuff i need/really want more often
