Happy Birthday Me!

Dear me, You're 25! We ******* made it! We thought we'd be dead by 16. Then 18. Then 20. But we're ******* 25!! I'm proud of you for making it so far. I hope you're having a good birthday- even if you're not doing much. We don't need much to celebrate surviving. I hope you've been good to yourself. I'm trying to, and I think 5 years (well... just over 4) is enough time to sort some stuff out. I hope our mental health is better and I hope our transition is finally happening and going smoothly. Regardless- I'm proud of you. No matter what you're doing, you're doing it! Here's to another 5 years! Lots of love, 20-year-old you (13th September 2021)
