I thought I was standing up for myself. I mirrored his language. But 0 views.

This is what systemic #manipulation is: platforms protect reward the silence of larger creators, while you are silent punished. You can speak, but not be heard.

I feel…empty.

How is it easier to lie or otherwise deceive
over and over—for 3 years—rather than just have told the truth or simply ignored me?

One can pose for the camera, profit off of being safe, empathic. But privately, shape me into a “good boy” through power & deceit. Silenced #ptsd #breadcrumbs #gayman

When “I didn’t intend” was used for years—but the concealment was active, with full knowledge, and continued until it was daily? It’s intentional.

Informed consent, personal autonomy—these were never optional…to me…

Silence is his privilege, sword, & shield. #breadcrumbs #intentvsimpact

There is no healing in silence.
But there is fear.

Sometimes, you try to speak, but you can’t hear your own voice. When someone shifts the rules and reality itself, you watch as you disappear.

Erased. 🫥

This is for anyone who has the unbearable burden of memory—and silence. 🤐

It’s Birthsgiving. 🥳🦃

Also: Do good-er.

In the final part of this neverending love story, I grapple with the aftermath.

What if we could just see and accept each other for who we are? How would things change if those with power/status treated their pursuits as equals—not as tests or games?

In the second part of my first neverending love story: my crush and I appear to share an enthusiasm for a shared, comforting activity. 🫂

We never needed to discuss it directly, not verbally—except when it seemed to be progressing further. 🗣️

What was your first crush experience like? 💕

Mine starts with a charming high school Senior when I was a Freshman. The connection seemed magnetic. 🧲

One problem: we weren’t quite… out of the closet. 🌈

Please enjoy the totally normal high-pitched sound. OH, make no mind of the (unrelated?) loud banging sounds from the HVAC.

It doesn’t exist, so it’s not a problem. HAHhaHaHAHaAhAhhhhaa
