In order to make a relationship last, you really have to flow with a person as they change. Give them space. My friend always told me about his grandfather who was with his wife for 60 years before she passed. His grandfather said that through all that time, his wife changed so much it felt like he had been with 8 different people by the end. But he said the secret to making it last was that through all those changes, he never suffocated his wife with his own idea of who he expected her to be. Rather he loved, fully, every new woman she became.

I have new gauges! Going up a size. 
Also gotta get my hair cut again, the right side is getting pretty long and in the way and the left side is now at an awkward length. I think I’ll just have her shave down the left completely. Especially since I don’t know how long I’ll be stuck with only one working arm.
After my shoulder is fixed then I’m growing my hair back out. It’ll probably take another three years to get back to waist length, but oh well. Maybe I’ll just grow out the long side and keep shaving down the left. 
I do also need to work on my hair color. I bleached and dyed it over a year ago, the only parts left are now blonde. It was purple last year, lol!

You’re able to call your parents “Mom” and “Dad”. They were not born with those names.

You’re able to call your teachers “Mr” or “Mrs” and their last name. You’d get in trouble if you addressed them by first name.

You’re able to call a celebrity by their chosen stage name.

You’re able to call your friends a shortened version of their name, their middle name instead of their first, or a completely random nickname.

You’re able to call a married woman by her husband’s last name, even though she was not born with that last name.

But when someone’s transgender, how does calling them by a name they were not born with somehow become a hassle?

SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK

As a reader, I like getting responses to my comments and questions. When I catch a reference and comment on it or ask if the author was implying something about a character, getting a response is cool.

I commented on a Ocean’s Eight fic about a sense I got from a scene in the movie and the author responded that she hadn’t seen that but having rewatched the scene I mentioned, had added my headcanon to her own. That kind of interaction is fun.

I like authors that interact with the readers.

I love being an author who can interact with readers like that! It’s so fun when someone picks up my little references or perhaps even the foreshadowing and then we can talk about it and it’s just wonderful.

There have been multiple times that readers have told/asked me something and it has shaped the future of a fic chapter/installment. 99.9% of the time for the better. 

So don’t ever be afraid to hit me up with a question or a comment!

Nov. 30, 2018. Lin-Manuel Miranda, the modern day Shakespeare, left a fingerprint on the Hollywood Walk of Fame by being honored with a Star for his contribution in theaters. With his poetic theatrical works and encouraging pep talks on Twitter, Lin’s changed not only the theater but also the world (especially for our generation); he inspires us to want to be better and more aspiring, and to do more with our power and talent. This is the extravagant bundle of talents who’s a poet, an actor, a musician, a playwright, and an overall extraordinary person that I look up to and idolize. Congratulations, Lin, on the receiving of the star; and thank you, for the inspiration. (Image credit: GettyImages)
