I completed reading all available chapters (72) of Hōrō Musuko which is a manga about gender issues in youth. I'll keep reading new ones as they are available, but now I'm moving on to other things. This is part of my attempt to get back into more meaningful entertainment, rather than wasting all my time on games and movies. Once I read some more things I've been meaning to read, I may even start reading other manga that's trans related. It's interesting!

Irish Proverbs
It is a long road that has no turning.
Silence is the fence around the haggard where wisdom is stacked.
A loud voice can make even the truth sound foolish.
Questioning is the door of knowledge.
It is no shame to tell the truth.
Pity him who makes an opinion a certainty.
Seeing is believing, but feeling is the God’s own truth.
He knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.
Dance as if no one were watching, sing as if no one were listening, and live every day as if it were your last.

Japanese Proverb
