On the first watch I think mine was something about my voice or face because I wasn't able to be on testosterone at the time. Now I think it would be something health related. I hate how unreliable my health can make me. Fatigue, brain fog, nausea, dizziness, pain and some other stuff also doesn't make a person the best to hang out with unless a lot of sitting is involved. On top of that I used to be a pretty active guy. I'd walk everywhere, go on runs and work out daily. I was even able to pick up my best friend and carry him around deadweight if he needed it. Now I'm lucky if I can walk 10-15 minutes without needing to sit and even just sitting at my desk for an hour or more makes me feel like I need to nap. I wish I could go over to my one sister's and play basketball with her and her boys or go to my other sister's and run around with her little one but I can't. I can't even go out for a meal with my friends without worrying because the one medication we found that help the nausea and helps make sure I keep down food is one I can only take for 8 weeks at a time before having to take a break from it for 2-3 months. I'm only 28 in just over a week and I wish I could have the life I had when I was 22/23 back.

2025-03-24 04:12:24 +0000 UTCI’m so sorry about your weight gain. I’ve been dealing with the same for years not and shitty doctors saying it’s in my head or somehow my fault. It can be soo frustrating! But your steps closer to getting it under control with your diagnosis. Slow and steady. I wish you hugs and self love through your journey.

2025-03-22 10:52:40 +0000 UTCYou can tell "Somewhere Only We Know" is an emotional song, because sometimes when Blaine sings emotionally his triangle eyebrows point down instead of up. (I'm not making fun - I, too, have triangle eyebrows) Also, I would have loved if we got a Klaine kiss after SOWK; I know why they didn't - they're singing outside a school where Kurt was relentlessly harassed and threatened because he was gay - but we get so woefully few Klisses and it would have been so cute **sigh**

2025-03-21 17:07:52 +0000 UTCIDK what my shirt was 3 years ago but now it would be big. It’s still new with my doctors but my gyno suspects PCOS and I heavily suspect lymphedema. Both diseases that cause weight issues. Which sucks because I’ve finally found a good food/exercise balance. My weight is something that I cannot control almost entirely and it’s so frustrating! Especially since they never really go away. But I’m looking forward to connecting with lymphedema specialist in the future. As for the episode, one of the best and so under-appreciated! A top 3 Kurt solo with vocals I wish he did more often, a fantastic mash-up where each song is better than the original, and the such a powerful and perfectly done scene with Emma and the therapist! Especially given the time it aired. Tho I will say, Quinn losing weight and controlling her acne wasn’t her not wanting to be herself. That was her taking control of her life and action. However the nose job and changing names was more extreme. I’m really curious as to what the cast would put on their shirts now. 🤔

2025-03-21 05:27:52 +0000 UTClong ramblings incoming! In the three years since this was reacted to, I'm sure my shirt has changed but not necessarily for the better. I went back and found my comment from last time, and all of it is still true, but I think I've only gotten harder on myself. I take a pile of different meds that have all caused weight gain and I'm at the heaviest I've ever been. Deciding to take medication was hard for me. I grew so familiar with my misery that the thought of not constantly being in the dark was scarier than living a life I wanted to leave forever. I sit and think about what a shirt for myself could say and I can only come up with "fat" or "failure" because at this point in my life, I'm nowhere close to what I wanted to be. When I imagined my life as a kid, it was so much more happy and successful than what it is now. I'm making strides in eating better - I have ARFID, which coexists with the autism and sensory issues. I actually ate chilli that was full of chicken and beans and veggies for the first time in over 15 years, and I ate pickles on my sub for the first time in my 28 years of living. I was proud of myself, but it's hard and I kick myself for physically not being able to make myself eat or like certain things. I kick myself for being different, and not being what people see as pretty, or normal. I'm quirky, I'm weird, and logically I know it should be celebrated that I'm different, but I can't. I can make self deprecating jokes, but that's it. The only part of myself I like is that I have pretty hair. That's it. That's all I've got going for me and it's rough. Feeling powerless and at a loss for what to do next is awful. My ex and I are still best of friends and she and I still love each other. She struggles a lot with her mental health and I'm always there to give her a pep talk, to remind her life is worth living and that things will get better, but I always feel like the biggest hypocrite. I can talk the talk, but it's one of those things I believe to be true for the people I love, but not for myself. On a lighter episode related note, my ex best friend and I used to duet I Feel Pretty/Unpretty with each other. I was always the Quinn to her Rachel. Now, I just make smule videos of myself duetting it with myself because after all these years I still love that song. It made the cut of glee songs on my spotify playlist for work xD

2025-03-21 05:12:35 +0000 UTCI cant even remember what my insecurity was. Which means it's either still the same or I forgot I cared about it haha. I'd say i have a few that ive bad fkr ages, but my main one now is actually the same as chris colfers was when the cast was asked and it's high pitched voice, which I've had forever so I should be used to it by now haha

2025-03-21 00:36:33 +0000 UTCMine definitely changed the first time was that I was over weight I'm now a few years later still dealing with similar things but I have found a way to be happy and healthy in the last year and a half I have gone from being 16 stone the about 8 and a half I'm not to where I want to be yet but I'm getting there mine would now say all the lose skin that has came along with losing the weight I have lost plus the stretch marks to

2025-03-20 22:42:11 +0000 UTCThis is an episode that shows how awful Santana can be, being rasist to Tina, calling fin fat which she does constantly and is probably why fin has been insecure about his body and wants to out David if he doesn’t do what she wants ( which I don’t care how bad you are no one should be outed just like Santana is later) and saying I’m just keeping it real, no thats called being a terrible person. I love Santana but these things aren’t talked about enough

2025-03-20 20:10:43 +0000 UTCI think, my shirt would say “Curly hair”. Mainly because I have inherited the WORST parts of my Latino and Cherokee descent, hair wise. Yes, I don’t have to worry about me going bald, or going grey, but my hair, when it reaches a certain length, just curls in on itself, and I can’t do ANYTHING with it. In regards to the episode in question; I learned a new word, and can accurately identify a sensation that I experienced twice in the watch-through. The word is frisson(FRI-shun), and the best way to define it is that tingling sensation one gets when they hear a song, and it causes chills and the hairs on one’s body to stand on end. I had the first instance when the Warblers sang “Somewhere Only We Know”, and the band jumped in. The second, when Kurt did “As If We Never Said Goodbye”. Lastly, you mentioned the song you liked was when the cast did the “Barbravention” at the mall, and they danced to “Barbra Streisand”. The band is called “Duck Sauce”, just in case you wanted to add it to your playlist. Just be sure to get the clean version, as the dirty version just falls apart at the end, whereas the clean one does not. Also, while we’re on the topic of the Mall Flash Mob; I was an extra in the “Safety Dance” segment in the first season. My hand is seen holding a camera. Brad and Ryan wanted to feature me fully, but I didn’t feel 100% comfortable on camera, hence all you see is my hand and the camera’s capture moment. I got to meet the cast, though and hug most of them. Lea was the only one who didn’t want to hug, as she wasn’t really a hugger back then, so she settled for a fist bump. Mark Salling(Puck) smelled REALLY good, and gave me one of those bone crushing hugs, that felt really good.

2025-03-20 15:02:12 +0000 UTCIf you’ve never seen it or listened to the music, I highly recommend the musical Next to Normal. It’s all about mental illness and how different people cope with it from both the inside and outside. I have a relative who has several issues including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and refuses to take medication. It’s very scary because of some of the things this person says and does, but you can’t make someone do things they don’t want to do. I have to keep this musical in mind anytime I’m around him. I remind myself that this is his normal. While it shouldn’t be his normal, when he does take medication, the normal he feels isn’t natural to him. That’s why so many people with mental illnesses don’t take their medication. It makes them feel normal, but it isn’t their normal and doesn’t feel right to them. On a more positive note, this is one of my favorite episodes. Kurt’s back!

2025-03-20 09:32:14 +0000 UTCone thing I forgot to mention, during somewhere only we know Darren mentioned he couldn't see at all because it was so sunny so its kind of funny watching it back seeing everyone squinting. He also said it helped him with the emotion because it was making him tear up.
