'Tis the season where everyone feels like they have been hit by a truck (:
[I also forgot to mention that my gender dysphoria gets worse when I’m burnt out. I forgot about that until I went through truly 15 different outfits to find the one I’m wearing in this video because everything made me want to puke, just uh… yeh. That’s also part of the this situation]
