Less human, more being. Keep being. I love you.WHERE HAVE I BEEN?!skylarkeleven2016-12-13 | The short story: working on my memoir, in therapy for potentially ADHD (but excited to have some answers about it,) and prioritizing my time.
I say "curating" a lot - what I mean is keeping track of, working on, and organizing the parts of my life that make me me. In the past for my memoir, in the present for myself, and choosing what to put and share online.
And thank you all so so so so so much for watching my videos, loving me regardless if I fit into any moldy molds, and just generally being awesome. I've got some tricks up my sleeve (just give me 49 more days of leniency/stress to complete dis memoir yas pls luv u thnx so much)
Less human, more being. Keep being. I love you.UKULELE ORIGINAL: THATS THE KIND OF LOVEskylarkeleven2016-11-15 | With everything going on, I couldn't find the words I wanted to share with you to support you. I wrote this song for the meantime. Trans youth, immigrants, muslims, LGBQ+ folks, women, everyone who feels afraid in this time - I stand with you. Even in this chaos, we have each other.
Chords: C, G, Am, F // Am, F, C, G so ya'll can play along!
Lyrics: I didn't see it, I couldn't believe it That I'd find someone in this world who'd understand me I kept falling in between - couldn't see it even though it was right in front of me
Everything was rushing around, everything was racing around but in all that chaos, it was you I found.
And that's the kind of love, yeah that's the kind of love, and that's the kind of love that could
Make someone who doesn't believe find meaning in the smallest of things, yeah you could make someone who doesn't believe find the meaning in the smallest of things.
When will they see it and will they believe it? This is who I really am. And when they see me - forget to judge me, just embrace me even when
I keep falling down, I'm always falling down, but in all that chaos it was you I found.
And that's the kind of love, yeah that's the kind of love, and that's the kind of love that could
Make someone who doesn't believe find meaning in the smallest of things, yeah you could make someone who doesn't believe find the meaning in the smallest of things.
I keep falling down, I'm always falling down but in all the chaos, it was you I found
And that's the kind of love, yeah that's the kind of love, and that's the kind of love that could
Make someone who doesn't believe find meaning in the smallest of things

after the first few folks asked for commissions and i made them and they loved them - ahhhh! - what a joyous feeling! i will also create commissions for folks as well :)
and as the ball gets really rolling on this, i would like to monthly give away a free painting to an LGBTQ youth. just like how i would've wanted to own a piece of art from an older trans person when i was a kid, i want to give back for those who can't afford to buy one (since canvas, paint, and shipping are all quite pricy!)

Less human, more being. Keep being. I love you.FTM TRANSITION: SHAVING MY HEADskylarkeleven2016-08-12 | In order to buy into the constructs of American masculinity and be a proper man, step one for your FTM transition is to shave all of your hair off. Here I illustrate that...... **** JOKES **** Screw fake binaries ;) I have wanted to buzz my hair for several months and I always find it to be a fresh start. I recommend it to anyone especially if you are going through a lot of change - I mentioned this in my previous video - how when I am surrounded with so much change in my life I begin to get overwhelmed and anxious. My wavy longer hair often falls in different ways every day and having my hair buzzed adds a level of consistency as I move about my life. Lastly, balding is a fear of mine. Shaving my hair really short reminds me that someday I may not have any hair up there so this is similar to what I will look like :)

So I began looking for new cars, and about 4 days before my appointment to potentially get a new car, Theo died on my friend's street at 1am. The following day, I junked him and got $75 for the scrap metal. He gets his own chapter in the memoir. Xoxo.
**p.s. I promise you, if it had been worth keeping him, I would have kept him. I just had to be rational (ugh, so adult.)

The comments differed from the average hate that I receive - ie, "You're a freak!" - in that they were threatening - ie "can't wait to hang u and ur family." Here's where I draw the line, how I deal, and my advice to you if you receive comments or you see ones on my videos. I very rarely disable comments, and I also explain why that is!
