I applied for a great job that I'm definitely not qualified for, and I'm through the first two rounds of interviews. I didn't even think I'd go to the first interview purely because of my agoraphobia, so I'm proud of myself for pushing through it.

Weird, I thought I did submit this over on writing. Apologies, I didn't notice that happened.

A bit better than usual lately, which is nice. Getting some PR photos today to finally get my IDs updated since my name change certificate arrived! I will finally be rid of my dead name!

Also started working on my first leather working project this week. While it's rough and I'm missing a couple of tools to finish it well, I'm happy to be learning a new skill.

All in all, a good week, which is a nice change of pace.

I just started leathercrafting! Working on my first wallet this week, but I forgot to get an edge beveler. So it is delayed for a bit before finishing. First project ever though.

I'm excited to see a leather working community start up here on Lemmy.

I'm happy and take pride in being openly trans. None of my issues are in being trans, only with the people and systems that make it difficult and painful. I have to see them as separate things so that I don't internalize the way being a trans person is treated as being transgender in itself.

Otherwise I'll be even more angry and bitter than I already am most days, and I'm truly trying to not be as much.

I've done a handful of different fields, but they all end the same with me burning out and quitting as well. Web design, organic farming, dishwashing/prep cook, hostel front desk and housekeeping, etc.

Now I've been out of work for a while and I have no idea what to even do anymore. Farming was great until my body told me it was done, especially after having covid. I've been a bit lost for what to do ever since, sadly.
