How are you guys doing?

Epic share. In fact dude, you are so well-positioned I'm slightly jealous!

I'm also an HSP empath. I feel everything insanely deep, and have worked all my life to live effectively in this hyper-masculine world.

Had a recent inner win: realized I gotta be more patient with my development, because financial constraints have limited how high I can go at the moment. I thought I could make money bags if I crushed it at sales jobs, or found business success. Even with several months of HARD work at these things, it all made me poorer with more debt.

So now I'm just combining passions (teaching + traveling). I moved from America to Korea right after getting fired from corporate. Best decision of my 20s. And now, I'm taking the slow route to financial health. All by cutting as much discretionary as possible for the next 3 years; got it all mapped out:

First I'll nab the credit card debt. Then tackle the student loan beast (only in America, amirite?). Then personal development will skyrocket. But even now, getting into more Ralston and Wilber, while exploring Korea.

Life's good. It's evolving. It's dynamic. And it's intelligent as fuck.

Thanks everyone for sharing your heart.

The culture here on the forum is such that we focus on very serious, cold truths and head-dominated facts.

It is very sweet to once in a while come together and remind each other that we are just fellow human beings here together on this journey to God.

With each having their own hardships and happier times, let us go to the next year with more clarity, inner peace, and joy.

Much love to ya’ll. Thank you for being part of this community.

Happy new years! ❤️

I'm doing well, I'm trying to learn to play the harp. This was the happiest I ever was post-transition.

I was contemplating how being born without a sense of smell affected my psychology, I haven't come up with good answers. But I'm going to eat more healthy come hell or high water. I feel listening to music's gonna burn out my soul from sheer formlessness, am looking forward to a possible olfactory bulb implant to balance out my senses. Though I don't know if I want one at the same time, trans anything is still weird.

Struggling somewhat with dating in regards to men not wanting to date trans women, despite me passing and everything at first.  I am wishing I was gay. I'm also getting more involved in one of my tribes the intersex community, there's so many nice intersex people and they can tend to be a little more philosophically elevated which is nice.

I hope everyone has a good 2026 too

Left my old theatre club which was a tragedy for my social development. I kind of entered an extended adolescence, trying to fit in, connecting and building a new identity and it just didnt work out. I got blackpilled by direct experience about how girls can be in terms of cheating ... I feel like I lost so many years and opportunities and I am just too old to experience some of the things I could have experienced there. I am griefing over it every day to some degree. 

On the other hand I am much more emotionally stable thanks to leaving that place. I was a complete mess before. I am learning more about adhd and find ways to deal with it. I am working towards becoming a remote viewer which is either a huge hit or miss for my career path. I am also socializing a lot. I am putting so many good habits into place right now, some fruits need to come from it.
