Hi everyone, so I'm 22 and NB and really trying to connect more to the trans community and meet new people and make new friends. I've always had trouble making friends and really want to put in the effort to meet more people and be myself more.

Does anyone have recommendations on any form of events, meetups, clubs/groups, even volunteer work or really anything that gets me out of the house and allows me to engage with the community more and meet people? Or really just anything in Melbourne I can use to try and make connections and meet people.

Hi everyone, so I've recently been getting into makeup and I'm quite happy with what I'm able to do so far, I'm able to get a very natural looking and well blended foundation and I'd say I'm quite good with eyeliner as well as I've been doing specifically eyeliner for a fair while.

However my problem is, I only really know how to do one look, basic foundation, some concealer where needed, blush and setting power. And some eyeliner, mascara and just recently eyeshadow for my eyes.

I'm trying to learn more about makeup so I can expand more and learn more, however I find most guides seem to teach specific looks, when I'm more trying to look to understand different concepts of make up, and how putting them together can create different looks, so that I can explore my own identity more freely and create my own looks, rather than just following others.
I'm not quite sure if what I'm saying makes sense lol, I mean it like how when learning to cook, you can just follow recipe's, but you can cook better by understanding the concepts of cooking and applying them yourself, and eventually don't really need recipes anymore.

I'm also mostly wanting to explore more alternative looks as well, and might be worth noting that I am transfemme, though I've found most transfemme make up guides don't really apply to me, I don't have a beard shadow and naturally have a very feminine face (I'm lucky enough that with just a little bit of eyeliner I can pass as cis), so while things for guides on how to help feminise myself might be helpful, it might not be super relevant tome

It was all a shitty situation, things pulled us apart and made it difficult for us to be together, until he made the choice to end it and go back to her.

But he also treated me so shittily. He fucking ended it over text. Not even a fucking phone call? And then when I send a final message to reply and give myself closure, he doesn't even give me a fucking reply? He refuses to give me a goodbye all in the name to protect her feelings? What about mine? Do my feelings not matter anymore? Can they just be brushed aside and ignored? He said he loved me, but then treats me like this.

What the fuck do I miss this person so much? They could never give me a relationship, they played with my feelings, they flung me back and fourth and wasted my time. But I still miss him so much.

I want to message him again so badly, and tell them how badly I miss them. But they don't want me to do that, and I can't, even though I want to so fucking badly. Im sat alone in my bed crying tonight, while he's off in her arms again, with everything being okay for them. They get everything together and I get NOTHING.
Why did I have to be the one to lose? I'm always the one to lose, couldn't just this once I be the selfish one and hold onto the first person I have ever truly loved?

I don't get build any more memories. I don't get to be in his arms anymore. I don't get to smell his perfume or see his smile. I get nothing and she gets everything. It's not fucking fair.

I have a hundred reasons to hate him but a million reasons to love him. I want him to come back to me so fucking badly.

Hi everyone, so currently I work in a call center and its a good job. Stable, consistent income that doesn't pay bad. But I've unfortunately realised it will not be a safe space for me to come out in.

I want to come out soon, I'm sick of hiding, but this workplace is not a space where I would be safe or comfortable to do so, and I need to find new work.

Does anyone have recommendations on where to go, or resources to help? I have experience mainly in call center work, but also in disability support roles (though unfortunately disability support is a field I can't go back to for other, unrelated reasons) and a bit of retail experience as well.

I'm okay with doing most work types really, I mainly just need a safe space so I can actually start living my life.
