bottled hormones? check
cute pups dressed up? check
astrology + oat milk lattes??! CHEQ

peruse the lens through which I see (and love) myself, with this wholesome yet mildly chaotic starter pack meeeeme - cuz letsbhonest, it deserves more than to just be a thumbnail. 🌿

I was trying to figure out the *perfect* final mint for my ~ first ever Starter Pack ~ (the one I'll theoretically be presenting to our first ever cohort of Weekly Mint experimenters!)...and then it dawned on me:

A) There's no such thing as the perfect mint

B) Starter Packs are not meant to be comprehensive NOR are they meant to be polished...

C) I'm literally sitting here creating this whole powerpoint vision-board manifesting my next version of Self........like m8, that's the mint.



So here tis! I introduce my next version of Self 2 God, almost as though applying for a job application, letting him know that I am EQUIPT to EXIST as this next version of myself!



I really work through manifesting the FEELINGS I want to embody...which will subsequently empower me to take the consistent steps that'll land me the tangible circumstances I aspire to experience, too.



In this season of being a front-facing storyteller, I prepare myself to be perceived by many more people. I become able to choose this reality by consciously dwelling in our shared Transcendent Field, instead of meeting any unsavoury projections at the level of our shared Traumatic Field.



Tuning my vibe in this way protects me, and enables me (on a practical emotional level) to select the reality whereby I am directly touching the lives of hundreds of thousands more people.



I am able to hold all this energy because I am Safe in the Knowing of Who I Am.



And so it isssss babbyyyyyyyyyyyy !~

(sry, for whatever reason Zora doesn't register spaces between sections so plz enjoi these 🔷 lil 🔷 Blue 🔷 Gushers) 🟦 Blue Gushers was written + recorded in one sitting, back in 2019. It was the first song I every referred to myself as a boy in 😭 and will always hold a special place in my heart. 🟦 It's about the same guy as Dragons (my last single) - and is the second track off my forthcoming album "qleer". The working title for this track was "Shabo" cuz I'd say "it's ya boy, Clear" joking around in the intro, and it sounded like "it Shabo" lol. 🟦 Tis also my first hyperpop adjacent track !!?! Love this one - it always makes me do some semblance of the Charlie Brown dance 😂 What dance does it make you do ?? 🟦 🟦 🟦 Credits: 🟦 Produced by Waine + Wesley Singerman 🔷 Written + performed by yours truly, Forrest Mortifee 🔷 Mixed by Waine 🔷 Mastered by Will Borza 🔷 Cover art by Andy L Wu 🟦 🟦 🟦 Lyrics + [Liner Notes]: 🟦 CHORUS 🔷 I don’t think I really know you But I really like to hold you I don’t think I really know you But I really like to hold you like I do 🟦 VERSE 1 🔷 Never told you I would be your boyfriend But I’m always open to a best friend I’ve got lots of stories I ain’t told yet I don’t think I know you, least I know that, not yet I bet I’m better at giving head With my whole heart Than anyone you’ve ever met so far So hard, I will get you in this way hours before I ever put the flavour on your part 🟦 PRE-CHORUS 🔷 Blue gushers, red raspberries Blue tongues, let’s touch em like f*g fairies White tags, all in my bag [I had just gone shopping at my favourite thrift store] White flags, fabric [surrender, bed sheets] 🟦 CHORUS 🔷 I don’t think I really know you But I really like to hold you I don’t think I really know you But I really like to hold you like I do 🟦 VERSE 2 🔷 Touch me, touch me like my body’s made of green moss, frost Lightly, twinkle like a christmas light, a light beam, soft Lavender, lavender in our lungs Watched our bodies become pure energy [one night we didn't hook up, we just lay there breathing, caressing, and I had all these clairvoyant visions] Under my gaze: gays, gays 🟦 CHORUS 🔷 I don’t think I really know you But I really like to hold you. I don’t think I really know you But I really like to hold you like I do - I don’t think I really know you (I don’t think so yet) But I really like to hold you. (Yes I think that babe) I don’t think I really know you (Under sheets, your babe) But I really like to hold you like I do

I wrote these in grade 4, when I was 10 years old. That was the year the shit hit the fan in my family; my parents split up and I started self-harming. But that year, I also had my most beloved teacher ever, Ms. Barch, to whom this poem about music is dedicated.

Dedicated to Ms. Barch (Poem)
Singing
A song is a peace that never ends
A song is a bird’s chirp in the sunshine.
A song is a soft, comfy pillow.
A song is a summer day.
That is a song.

NATURE!
Wind —> *shooow!*
Trees swaying *crick crack*
Leaves crumpling —> *crumple crumple*
Flowers blooming *open*
Clouds
Sun shining
Animals hopping *hop hop*
Warm grass
Birds flying *flap flap*
*chirp*
…and, yourself thinking about the wonders of nature!
Claire M.

As I share these *historical* pages now, my new birth certificate has just arrived! My foundational identity document now says Forrest Eshua Mortifee, Sex: MALE. I made it. I survived!!

I’m so proud of myself and so enamored by the life I have built. How affirming to see young me’s words so present in peace and wonder, even in what was at that time the hardest year of my young life. My love for singing, for songs, and for nature remains.

While I was filing away my new documents today, I realized how important it is to also file away the fun dox. I tossed my Name n Gender Change *party-flier* into my Dropbox folder alongside the official government forms.

Regarding this NFT, I now share these pages as Token 1 of my "Starter Pack" with the intention to preserve this light-hearted piece of my history, and to share my roots as a nature-obsessed songwriter. Playfulness deserves a place in history, and so I’ve made it encrypted.
