That's a question my very partner asked me! It's hard, and I think everyone has different terms they prefer. In my case, I love to know how the other person see me, what characteristics they like about me. So I've got my fair share of weird/wonderful nicknames, and they're special because each person made a little story about it, you know?

But, some of the more usual ones are honey, babe, love, sweetheart. I love when people see me as soft/caring, so I quite like those! 💜

Now, talking as someone who has lots of enby friends: ask them! I've seen some people say that asking feels weird or forced, but I think it's a way to show you care about them 💜 I'm glad when people ask me how I'd like to be called, because they're being thoughtful of how I feel, and really, that's a huge green flag to me :D

Eh, they did install a military dictatorship here, when it was convenient to them. It's almost like they didn't do it for the goodness of their hearts, but for their own financial interests.

In a few years, when we get closer to China, they'll try another coup here. I'm so tired.

I had some friends call me their best friend, but I never really felt the same. I love my friends, but I always felt I couldn't be 100% me around them. Until I met this guy, and we instantly clicked. Today, I can say that he's my best friend, because I feel like not only he understands me, but I feel safe and comfortable enough to actually be myself around him.

My neighbor has one parrot, and it's her baby! I think she had it for more than a decade now, and it's beautiful to see him flying around the apartment (it's a big place, and all the windows are screened, so he's free to roam around), but it's such a commitment.

I actually started socializing with them because when I moved in they sent me a small basket with snacks and stuff, with a letter explaining about Kiwi (the parrot), and how he can be a bit loud sometimes.

I don't really mind tho, I actually love hearing him sing, joke, laugh. Such a happy bird!
