    So like I had an amazing weekend last weekend. I actually told a coworker I'm trans, this is the first cis coworker that knows. I had to tell him cause he wanted to jam and play music, and so did I, but that's outside of work which means I'm def not gonna boymode. He was SO normal about it. Just super accepting and very cool. We had like a 3 hour jam sesh with another trans friend of mine and it was pretty amazing. Then I went to a rave that night which was absolutely flawless and I looked and felt incredible. Yesterday I told my long time friend that I'm trans too, he lives across the country so we don't see eachother. He said he loved and accepted me so that's good. Lots of good things happening really

      That's awesome! I told one of my best friends today and he took it crazy normal as well. Like I was telling him the weather or something. Just such a non-issue. I was so anxious to tell him too, but I guess I was worked up over nothing.

      I've never been to a rave. I should probably go to one.

        Thats so amazing! It's so funny how that works huh.

        And yeah I do love house and electronic music tbh, they are very fun if you like to dance. I wish I could post pics on here cause my outfit was fucking bomb

          Yeah I think I'll always be anxious when I tell people though. I'm apparently just an anxious person, even though I act like everything is fine. I don't have a lot of friends, and the ones I have are all very good friends. So I'd hate to lose one.

          What are your favorite songs? I could use some new music.

            Oh I'm totally the same way re: anxiety.

            Regarding music though, generally with electronic music I engage through either sets or albums. Lmk if you have spotify cause I have one great live set on there that isn't on YouTube that I can link but for the moment

            House sets:

            Flying lotus

            https://youtu.be/M-Tj4gvpig8?si=Szjy2-KJ_acMwqlr

            Classic daft punk essential mix

            Psytrance albums worth listening to - all these albums should be listened to from the beginning through. They are seamless albums, so they play like sets.

            Bible of Dreams - Juno Reactor (really amazing psyfrance album done with a hand drum band) https://youtu.be/iCmfMrPZpaM?si=Joq752d5M5NKt7NW

            The Lone Deranger - Hallucinogen (this album is very goofy and fun. Very silly psytrance album)

            https://youtu.be/N4-mZRW3mmg?si=0YhYnMhfJphhhywC

            Mystery of the thirteen crystal skulls - this is a compilation done I believe by raja ram. It's awesome too. Look up "Secret of the thirteen crystal skulls" If you like this

            https://youtu.be/SQmP1hybk_c?si=c1bTQYfkE17ApJ0Y

            Nothing lasts but nothing is lost - Shpongle - this album is also seamless but it isn't psytrance. I actually put this album in my top 5 albums in any genre.... it is extremely good.
