Challenge #5
In your own space, create a list of at least three things you'd love to receive, a wishlist of sorts. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it and include a link to your wishlist if you feel comfortable doing so.

I did the full 10 things Elf Meme over here, but the parts that I need most desperately that have not gotten much movement are:
1. I could use some books to help me think differently about other peoples headspaces. If there’s a book that explained a different type of person to you, I’d like to hear about it. Possibly also to borrow the book? I will, of course, send you a book of my own as collateral. Fair's fair.

4. I want to start getting rid of some of the Japanese EGL fashion dresses that I have, most of them are an Asian XL or XXL in size. I need an accountability buddy for listing them on LaceMarket or someone to give them to who will love them and take them out of my closet. If you can help with either thing, give me a DM. If you want me to lay out a sheet and post floordrobe pictures of outfits, I can do that, too, if you think it will help entice you or someone you know into the fashion.

7. I really need someone to talk to about doing Shadow work who knows their own emotional safety limits, prefereably someone who has been through some therapy or done a lot of therapy-adjacent self-help. I don’t know how to talk about the wack shit that happened to us when we were kids that made us think we were better off cutting off whole parts of ourselves, while also having to deal with looking for someone else’s distress and bc I will feel like I need to manage their feelings. The task switching is way harder for me in that state (autism!), and I want people to be safe, but I also need to stay on task with an accountability buddy or something. Idk. Something along those lines.
