This has been the defining struggle of my queer existence lol

It really is. It actually makes me sad. I'm the grown daughter of a father who sounds a lot like the person you responded to. I love my dad and it's a complicated relationship as he really doesn't think he's a misogynist, he truly believes he's just "telling it like it is."
It made me furious for years and now it deeply saddens me. He will never have the chance to truly know his daughter because he is literally incapable of seeing me as an equal in terms of basic humanity. And that is sad because I'm delightful and smart and wickedly funny when I'm comfortable with someone, he doesn't get to see the authentic version of his own offspring, what a loss...
Just last month, I left work early on a Thursday, met my now husband at the local courthouse, and we got married! Cost about $50 bucks. We're happy as clams about it, our families wanted us to do more but, that sounds like a them problem honestly lol
I do feel differently. Not more committed, I've long been ride or die with this human, but I get this sweet, sudden uprush of cozy emotions when I say, "my husband", or when he calls me "wife". I love him a lot and it makes me simultaneously very proud and very humble to declare that publicly.
Very recent, I'm still in the glowy happy haze of it. My partner and I just got married and we've got an old, fixer-upper property that we plan to make into our own haven of weirdness haha I'm excited to keep building this wild life together.
I'm processing some heavy grief at the moment so I snagged a copy of Spiritfarer during the Spring sale, it gives me a cozy feeling when I play. Was pretty deep into Resident Evil Village but needed a break. Also, I'm kind of always playing Skyrim to some degree hahaha
She would be obsessed with my house, I totally had her in mind when buying it. She'd think I was insanely cool and hopefully feel a sense of relief that the way she feels at 15, while really difficult, won't last forever, there is a horizon. She also gets a massive hug from me, she did a tremendous job under heartbreaking circumstances.
