i dont wanna be her, bc i(several alters) dont like her, but ego death is suppose to be accepting that you are not just that part of you, that youre multifaceted. but also the reason you havent moved on is bc of those restrictions. you need to address and understand and accept that part of yourself in order to let her go, which just sounds like a cliche phrase with no meaning, but you have to figure out what the instructions are.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;as we've come to learn, the real transformation comes from the previous internalization of femininity, as well as the false perception of being bubbly all the time(irl we're not, internally we are, so theres the confusion). we have many different faces, all during different emotions. we hated that tomboy extrovert personality type even when we were the person our brain associates with being that, so i dont think we ever were that. ego death is a process of accepting that you are not just one thing, and you dont need to view yourself as anything, you just need to truly exist as yourself.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;things we didnt know about ourselves is that we are quite shy. we are also quite loud, but in a masculine way. we're forcing the newer bunny views onto ourselves, but also its somewhat true. its hard to know for sure when we're just by ourselves in an echo-chamber of thoughts, as they arent as genuine as real reactions. i dont know how to view myself as just myself without thinking about gender, since i have such a tainted view of what being female and gay is. i view it as masculine, a girl trying to be a boy, which i am not doing. i am a girl trying to be feminine, who also is bisexual and bigender, which just appears as a glitchy mass in my brain....i wish i could see it clearly. see myself clearly(im different than everyone else, is what i say, even tho i know its just based on false views of others).  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i have a lot of ideal forms, but i think i have to recognize that my 'ego' self from before was also based on ideals, and not reality. i was much different irl than i was as my past 'ego', and i actually misremember that experience. i didnt exist as the person i view myself as as an outer percpective.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;a concept that hasnt fully been explored yet is Full Femininity. i dabbled a bit on it when i had long hair, and its impossible to do so again without it. i had a theory recently that a part of the restriction comes from past rejections of femininity in order to be unique and fit what i wanted to be based on the people i liked. im not a tomboy, but im also not entirely light colors either. i have times where i think itd be fun to dressup emo or scene, but prefer those outfits to have some femininity in their stylization too. i have spent my entire life pushing away dressing or presenting Girly, only in the recent years(being able to due to t) trying out dressing in bright colors and feminine clothing. always in an alternative way as to excuse it. but looking like a Girl is another thing im coming to realize that i've blocked away. i remember being a kid and secretly loving it when girls put makeup on me, and i secretly liked the popular Girly Girl lifestyle too. i just didnt understand why girls like that liked me, so i pushed the lifestyle, as well as them, away out of confusion. but its ok now. people dont see me as female anymore. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;at the same time i crave to uplift&lt;em&gt; both&lt;/em&gt; my male and female traits. longer hair, prettier face, more beard, lower voice. i need to go on a higher dose of t again. i wish i could just change my voice so i could feel better. and i wish my bangs would lie flat and cover my eyebrows. i wanna sound like a newgrounds guy and be a pretty girl at the same time. i realized i need for others to hear my voice and think im male, the need for others to think im male. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;looking at my old 2014 passport and i. i think that theres intersex genes in the family(i suspect my aunt but have never asked) and i'll never know if i was intersex or not bc of my current hormone fuckup lifestyle....i was supposed to be a little boy who blossomed into a girl but not in a detransitioned radfem way. a genetic + mentally ill way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;and comparing my old face and my new face in the mirror i saw myself differently than all the other times ive looked at old photos. i looked completely like a stranger. and that might be a good thing. thats the whole current mindset, right? that we dont want to recognize ourselves? in order to move on and be a new person? it was weird. it was like seeing the conclusion i already knew but clearer. i looked like her, but bc of that my view of my current face started to change, and i think it will even more when i get my hair back.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;i need to somehow view that past self thats stuck in here as someone different. as someone who is a girl. not comparing them to any pre-perceived views of people. and i need to learn to be open about it too....i struggle with that bc i dont know if its true or not yet. i know that people already have their own perceptions of me different than what i want, but lying to them about something im not 100% certain on yet feels weird. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Part 2, Past Feelings Re-examined;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;saw a girl in one of my dreams last night and felt attracted to her, and questioned why. and questioned what it was i was really feeling(while in the dream for a brief moment).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;thinking afterwards about what if she was in front of me. what if she said 'i love you, i want to take care of you, i love you so much as you are' and hugged me tight.....is that friendship? is that just close friends? if she were embracing me from behind in bed, and she wasnt afraid to do so....and if she really genuinely meant it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;i could never tell if the attraction i felt towards girls when i was younger was romantic or just bc i was lonely. if i just wanted to be their friends. bc i was always the only alt kid in my grade since i was little, and i mightve just wanted to have an alt friend, yknow? i only ever managed to get an alt friend once while in grade 8/9, and all i got from that was an aroace ramble in my Secret Diary Text File at the time. but i couldve also been pushing away feelings too. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;being bisexual and multigender is so confusing. its confusing bc its the answer that i can never seem to find, and yet i know it already. i wish i got crushes more often so i could analyze it more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i want to believe in not having to work for finding or maintaining relationships, but rather just letting them come to me as god decides. except, he has done that, and i keep saying No to them. but i have to learn that a truly good relationship, even a friendship, you wont want to say no to. you'll want to talk to them. human relationships are the hardest thing for someone not human. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=etherical_angel&amp;ditemid=1575" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;strong&gt;(copy-pasted from my vent blog)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i was thinking about my highschool years AGAIN last night. but then i was remembering that bit in homestuck where john realizes that he only knew vriska for like a day. and i need to remind myself of that more. i was there for a year and a half. thats less than ive been out of highschool. none of those people matter. none of what happened actually matters(not true, they affected my brain forever as a bi-product of their behavior). im only 20.&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="https://i.ibb.co/sJ66qG0/life-motto.png" width="400" height="131" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;for the first time in my life i feel young. i feel like ive barely been alive. all my previous years i spent focused on the year itself, and tho i still never really feel like my age, i suddenly feel like i havent been around that long. like i woke up. everyone younger than 20 thinks 20 is old, but thats only bc 20 years seems like a long time. this year ive unveiled the view of seeing life as incredibly short.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;i still consistently have a reoccurring daydream about being older and successful and going back and raising myself, as well as living the aesthetics i didnt know how to experience. the internet and video games mostly. in this recent one i wasnt living at my parents house tho(as i usually imagine it) i had a biiiiig rich house with a bunch of stuff. like vrs and all my tech(also in order to keep your money from the future you need to store in it in something tradable from the past, like gold). i was trying to figure out how to fit in my younger self staying with me along with the divorce agreements(i figured i'd probably want to live there full-time by the time i turned 15, or after grade 8, and move too a new school on the island). oh yea, i lived on the island(vancouver island). i get there when my younger self is 8. and im also making online friends too, and at some point fly them over to play vr and show them my house. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but anyway, i spend a lot of time daydreaming how i couldve made my younger selfs life better by parenting them. but i should probably stop focusing so much on such a short period of time.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=etherical_angel&amp;ditemid=850" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>

    <content type="html">constantly just feel like im running out of time. while also staying up too late. i stay up late, sleep all day, then stay up late again and feel guilty for it. fuck my health fuck my brain FUCK my inability to do things anymore......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;basically my current situation is that i need to finish a film by december. im stuck on the storyboarding. i have the dialog recorded, i have the script planned out, it was supposed to be a mocap film but since that didnt work out its now gonna be done through roto(i planned to let myself have 15 days to do so in case, which i ended up predicting correctly)(roto takes a &lt;em&gt;lot &lt;/em&gt;longer as its manual). the thing is tho, just 17 seconds into the storyboards. ive come to the realization that....its boring. its 2 people talking back and forth. its gonna be a 5 minute long vent about something that only a select amount of people might even manage to comprehend. it may be cool and show off my way of thinking, but its definitely not something thatll grab the attention of the absolute stranger in charge of sifting through hundreds of college applications.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i need to basically brainstorm a film that i can film entirely on my own, in the environment that i live in. which is why i originally wanted to make a digital film. all through......i &lt;em&gt;am&lt;/em&gt; going somewhere on the weekend. i could maybe film something there. something involving a character going back and forth. maybe a character collecting something in different places? or maybe just experiencing life there. trying to get something out of them.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;or perhaps something is making them uncomfortable. something else is making them move from place to place.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;alright, short film where a character tries to find a comfortable place to work on a script. it starts with them trying to get comfortable in their own room, but a voice in their head tells them that they need to get out more, which results in them taking off their headset. title card &amp;quot;discomfort&amp;quot;. cut to roto character taking off headset in a virtual place, scrolling through a list of places. another character(their inner demon) shows up, looking over their shoulder, commenting on the places. they choose a nice park. cuts to protag at the park(all the irl stuff is first person), sitting under a tree, looking at their blank document. they type exterior day, but get stuck. the demon chimes in on how the place is too public, someone might see them like this. headset transition into the virtual place again. protag chooses another apartment. fast cuts of setting up at a desk. staring at the screen, staring out the window.. then tries setting up sitting on the bed. stick mentally blocked. transition to places like a library, a dock, and a porch staring at the sunset. the demon says other all these cuts that its not that fucking hard to start you know, at least for other people anyway, do you even know what youre doing? is this even what you &lt;em&gt;want &lt;/em&gt;to be spending your time stressing over? a sigh from the protag. transition back to the digital world. the protag finally speaks 'why wont you let me work?' to which the demon replies 'i dont think you want to' -&amp;gt; 'bullshit' -&amp;gt; 'then go do it. go make something.' -&amp;gt; .... protag is back in their room. just standing there. then cuts to black.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;now i have to actually make this into a script and hope its under 5 minutes -_-;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=etherical_angel&amp;ditemid=648" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;strong&gt;10 minutes away from 3am.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i havent been staying up late as often as i used to, but lately i've fell back into it. perhaps the new job adding a foreign source of routine is causing my brain to get urges to rebel again. who knows....i guess it's my responsibility to find out though.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;journaling on here is much different from what im used to(tumblr mobiles smaller layout)(this one is a bit pressuring with its size). journaling on here feels like theres an expected professionalism, so i'll have to force myself to get used to it(this isnt a school assignment, theres no marks, nobodies grading you....). i have a couple of peoples substack journals bookmarked, the lengthy rambling sense of them activating my inspiration like an ingrained envious sleeper agent, but never really leading to anything(public, anyway)(here i am now i guess).&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;exactly 3am now.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my private tumblr is like an archive of a human brain, mix of teen girl diary entries and psych course papers, as well as a scrapbook of images desperately trying to form together to create a picture of ones identity(but forever adding more pieces). i do hope to make use of it someday. like picking pieces to edit into poems(some people say that poems can also be essays with rhythmical formatting. lucky me). i actually came across &lt;a href="https://www.doomsdaypress.co.uk/"&gt;a website&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;(either yesterday or several days ago) that takes submissions for literature from 'weirdos', created by a youtuber who's essay videos got fortunately graced by the youtube god algorithm. the site seems trustworthy based on the content of her videos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;10 minutes after 3am.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20 minutes of writing felt like nothing. has it really been that long? what have i been doing this whole time? i know i havent looked at any social media, nor have i watched any videos....did i zone out? or am i just a slow typer?(i got 46 words per minute earlier today when i took the test for the first time, which i dont think is too bad...maybe).&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i was going to write about fixing my lifestyle, organizing it neatly in this little word container, promising to edit it in the future as i put the thoughts and theories into motion. having a place to put it instead of just leaving it to be lost in my vent blog(not true, i tag everything, but who's to say i'll actually check the tags &amp;lt;&amp;lt;). i've attempted it so many times in the past, different methods, different wording, bare minimum of expected effort, never successfully finding the sweet spot of productivity that ends up sticking.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;20 minutes after 3am.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br type="_moz" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=etherical_angel&amp;ditemid=339" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
