My mind. I'm intelligent and mentally cursed at the same time.

I quite like myself nowadays. I’m a programmer, I’m mentally stable, I’m punk/goth/alternative and dressing almost exactly how I’ve wanted to for a long time (dying my hair blue next week lol), I’m going to college, my education from pre-school to now was top-notch (for the most part excluding elementary kinda, which was more so just good), I’m physically fine-looking, I’m mature for my age, I’m a pro-client in therapy, I have the best best friend in the whole world, I have strong interests and hobbies (i.e., music, hacking video game consoles and custom firmware, video games, hot anime boys 🤤), my grammar skills are EXTREMELY advanced and nearly perfect, my performance in English is very strong, I’ve gotten an A (an A+ in a few too) in every single one of my Computer Science courses ever taken including AP CS Principles, I look and sound male, I like my sexuality a lot, etc.

By now I used to think I wouldn’t be alive so you know that’s like at least 1,000% better lol. I guess I’d change...my trauma? It shaped my sexuality quite a lot, and I’m pretty happy with how I ended up in that area. So...do I wish that trauma didn’t happen? I don’t know. I really like how I changed myself in response to it, but I certainly don’t like how it changed some other parts of my life. Therefore, I don’t wish that it didn’t happen. I just wish I could fix some of my cognitive distortions easier than it has been trying to fix them.
