it’s @sgpoet.bsky.social’s birthday and I cannot express how happy I am that they exist and are my best friend! I love you SG! Happy birthday!!!
a photo with Sg And Diamond with text that reads: today is SG’s birthday. my whole life I have always felt like a bit of an outcast being a queer person of color in the south. meeting SG changed so much for me in the last year, and now I can’t imagine my life without them. te amo mucho, SG. thank you for seeing me, for loving me, and for everything. truly ❤️
