There are good things among the bad, and i will continue to use those good things to remind myself of why I continue to fight. The people around me are worth it. I am worth it. Things will pass and may need time to heal, but they will. Eventually. I hope I get to see that happen.

Voice and power have been stripped from me. I feel like ive already lost the battle of wills.
Things are only going to get worse and I dont think I can handle much more of this. I want to be able to breath again. I hope there willl be a day when I can do just that. (6/6)

Im learning that I may have to just accept that I won't be able to officially marry my partner any time soon. That I'll have to hide myself again. That I'll need to throw away who I am for the comfort and safety of others. I dont want to do that. I want to fight and be loud but I feel like my (5/6)

My dad shows me videos of the protesters out here getting attacked and laughs about it. I just stare absently at him. Thats all I can do. When did he become like this? Has he always been this way? The Afab people in my family dont seem too worried but they do disagree with him. (2/6)

The answer is I'm going to take a deep breath and take this one thing at a time. First is packing. I have viewings later this week and I just panic-messaged a few other places nearby. That's all I can do for right now. Things will be ok and we will figure this out.

That's really good advice! Thank you! I'll see what I can mess around with and what I can add.

Id love to collaborate with you. Feel free to send me a msg and we can talk about some character ideas! 🖤

Ah, it looks like I can't msg you;

Yeah totally! I'll shoot you a msg
