    Sorry you got so sick!! I ended up with pneumonia 1 week before my 2 week break. My kids got COVID. lol. They are still sick but Im recovered now. As a trans man, my voice is my biggest betrayal of me. Im always getting misgendered. Im getting facial hair, Im pre surgery.... its not that great. I hope my connection will be better once I have top surgery. I dont think of dating until I have top surgery. My thoughts return to my body when I do think of dating. We all hope people want us for who we are not what our bodies can give them or look like. I think too much lol. Hope you are feeling better Daan. Your legs are my goals 😊😊

    For me as an another trans person it’s something similar. Sometimes I would like to not focus so much in my body, and I have tried uselessly to change my mind, trying to run away from being trans. I think this is an issue that we use to overthink a lot because we have this feeling of discomfort with our bodies, that it’s the one that pushes us into transitioning. We start to think about our body and and mind connection again and again because we always have this sensation that something it’s not right, trying to figure out a perfect solution to calm this feeling.

    Have you named your spider? They have a neat way of getting attention, they wave the big fuzzy things in front to say hello 😊 I agree with you about taking care of the inside as well as the outside. I've been getting older and it's definitely becoming more prominent how tenuous that balance can be, whether sick or not sick. Getting up and moving becomes harder but I still get up for walks and such, and hopefully I'll get my bicycle fixed up and go for a ride tomorrow. I've had long covid and just got put on prednisone to hopefully help my body heal a bit faster. Complete lack of energy and heart issues have kept me on the couch since December, I'm getting antsy to be outside! I hope you feel better soon, be kind to yourself and your body while it heals ☺

    I, trans person myself, can totally relate! I think that in some cases, we're so much more aware of our existence and also thinking about it way more than many cis people in their whole life ever will! This is a gift but also a burden from time to time. I always struggled with the proverb "just listen to your body". Dude, my body is not reflecting me and doesn't listen to my mind, I don't feel any connection sometimes - how should I listen to this. 😂 But: I'm now in a very good stage where I changed my body to feel more comfortable. I feel more comfortable every day and this makes it a whole lot easier to "listen to your body". It's different every day and it will always be a process and never a finish line. You're doing great by all this self-reflection! Wish you a great summer! Use it to find some new passions! :)

    I had a thought for a video. Would love to see a supermarket tour in your area. Always interested seeing how much things cost in other countries (bread, milk, gas). Is inflation a problem in the Netherlands?

    Dude. During the video you asked who would want to date you? I would say at least a couple thousand especially after watching a couple of your videos. You are looking so good even when are just chilling on the couch. The workout section was kind of hot as well.

    I'm not in your condition, but I think that even though it's important to listen to the messages that our body sends us, this shouldn't affect us too much in our daily lives. It seems to me that there is an excessive concern with the signals you receive, or perhaps, you think you receive. I am, closed in a loop, after the death of my mother, voluntarily isolated from the outside, work, social relationships, which represent an insurmountable mountain, I know that I should force myself to change habits, to go back to living during the day and sleeping during the day. night...but then I wonder why? For whom should I do it? I feel so good closed in the house, I sleep during the day, I eat breakfast at 6pm, then I watch a series on TV, and then with my gin and tonic, I spend the night in front of the PC, until 7am, the time when I go to sleep . My body sends me signals, which I'm putting on my stomach and hips, for the rest I'm too thin, I know I eat badly, and all the drugs they give me leave me exhausted, without a will anymore... But I feel like it good anyway, I won't go to the beach... so no one will laugh at that ridiculous 2 meter tall man, all skin and bones, apart from his belly, who seems to be expecting a baby... after all, I haven't been there since 2016 I never took a holiday again, from 2017 to 2020 I looked after my mother, stuck in a bed, after 2 brain haemorrhages, 4 years ago, June 2020 she flew away, and with her my will to live... my partner 27 years old, he tries to encourage me, in a sweet way, but I'm fine just locked in the house, my mother's house, where I have remained ever since, I have to free up and sell my house in the city where I lived and worked before... but not I want to do all that hustle and bustle, so I spend to keep two houses up... I sold the third one 2 years ago because it was my grandparents' house, too many memories, the ones I face every day in this, packed house are enough for me , of mum's things, clothes, shoes, which I can't find the courage to give away... I don't know if I would empty the other house to sell it where I would put everything that's inside. Maybe I'm waiting for some Angel to come down from Heaven to give me a hand... Sorry... I talked about my own business, instead of giving a hand to you and your questions... I hope you'll give me a second chance.... It helped me I was happy to see your video, you're very cute, I'll go and see the others to get to know you better. Ciao, Angelo from Italia. 💙💛❤
