It’s Friday, the day before the weekend and there will be some Sun!

    I lost the daily journal of moving back to the city and updates of my transition. There aren’t many publlished diaries of later years people transitioning and they’re important for people to read as mine has been so largely positive it could literally save someone’s life by giving them hope. I was going to one day edit it into a wonderful fucking story of looking inward finding yourself and being true to it and that someone else could see how it turned my whole perspective away from pessimism. I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but no one had any idea the r/melbourne was basically going to be deleted. I wish they’d explained that going private meant we lost all our comments. I should have been storing it, but fuck, I could have easily copied into it a word doc in less than an hour.

      oh yeah you’re probably one of the people who is affected the most. i’m sorry. I wonder if maybe they could give you temporary mod access so you could retrieve the log.

        I messaged them but I haven’t heard anything back as yet. I can understand the mods needed a break though, so i live in hope they’ll re-open for a while so we can access it. I have to take some responsibility for it though, I could have very easily been keeping my own copy.

          there’s always the feeling that what’s on the internet lasts forever but these couple of years especially this event really shows me how things we put online can be all gone in a matter of hours. Can’t even find who we have been talking to for years unless we’ve private messaged each other.

            I live in hope that the olds mods are lurking here. I’m pretty sad about it honestly but I have to accept that yeah, nothing is guaranteed. More forewarning would have been easy and I was online all day. I’d taken the time to message some users but didn’t think for a second i might lose my writing

                I’ve actually just read through my still living comments from another sub and I can probably piece the trans stuff together from that, which is a relief. The daily jobs of moving house would have been nice but yeah, aaaaah. All is not lost.

                    Thanks mate! I also lost every breakfast you made me. They’d have been a nice little inclusion to relfect the context of being able to write publicly in a safe space which was so casual and full of people from all from all walks of life, not being dicks to each other,
