Hi! I’ve been extremely tired this week and nearly forgot that I was hosting one so I’m writing this last minute! I couldn’t think of anything so I’m going to write about one of my hamsters who is not Biggs; Meredith

Meredith was another hamster of mine from a few years ago during the early days of COVID, and she was the absolute sweetest little creature I had ever met. Very friendly, very gentle. She loved exploring anywhere I put her into and never bit me okay she did once ever. She was an absolute sweetheart and bundle of love and was with me during some of the rougher parts of my life

She unfortunately died very suddenly out of the blue one day at a terribly young age showing no symptoms of anything wrong with her prior, which breaks my heart to this very day

I never had her as long as any other hamster of mine but I don’t think I had any other hamster touch my heart in quite the same way. I miss you, girl

      Transition is embarrassing a lot of time.

      I think you’ll need to be content with the idea that you’ll be embarrassed some of the time while experimenting. Especially because you haven’t worn women’s clothes before, you’re sure to pick things that might look silly.

      You can aim for more androgynous stuff, which will be less embarrassing because they’re closer to guy clothes, but I think you shouldn’t limit yourself in that way. Just get stuff you think is cute and try it out :]

        I don’t know how to be content with it. It doesn’t feel like a “normal” level of embarrassing either- it honestly feels like the worst thing imaginable. I know it isn’t, and I might push through anyway but, I don’t know how to describe it. But like actually, how do I be content with it?

          Just have to do it.

          I bet two weeks ago, you couldn’t imagine coming out to people.

          A month ago, I couldn’t imagine using femme voice full time.

          But here we are~
