hey! i really appreciate you taking the time to respond & comment on some stuff. its really helpful for me to kind of process and release feelings verbally and i figured why not make it a video, and then knowing that other people can relate or even just having a listening ear is like an added bonus, so thank you! i feel like a large part of my feels are just learning to how to navigate home/work/school/life as i'm in this "in between" phase? like there was this initial excitement that came with starting t and being more open about myself (both with myself and with others) and now i feel like i'm just sitting waiting for other people to see me the way i see me and i dont knowwwwwww. but, i felt like this response was very helpful, sometimes its hard to remind yourself of all these things, and hearing it from someone else is a positive reminder. its also so immensely helpful to be reminded that there are other non binary people who are going/have gone through these same things, and i think it has helped me realize that a lot of what i am feeling is related to feeling not trans enough or at least just not ftm? i think a lot of the isolation that i didn't realize i was feeling is coming from feeling outside of most of the narratives i see on youtube... i'm gunna work a lot more on spending less time on youtube/comparing myself, and more time appreciating myself. again, thank you thank you thank you! best, Jamie
+opposite of earth So glad you liked the video. After I posted it, I was like "is this a little presumptuous?" So glad it landed well. I've really enjoyed your videos and am glad you're doing them regularly. It's a tough time waiting to have everyone see you the way you see yourself. And some never will. But some do already! Remember that and spend time with those people! Yes, and definitely appreciate yourself. RUclips is fantastic for connecting and trying to envision what you want, but I've too gotten in that trap of thinking I was supposed to try to look like *that guy.* Because hey, that guy is pretty hot and awesome. But so are you and so am I, and we have to remember that. We're great as we are, and we're great as we get closer to our goals. And again, thanks for doing your videos and being so open and real. It's a great resource your building for those folks who are looking around RUclips now (like me) or 5 years down the line.
