I’ve reached out to ppl, been open and vulnerable about my lack of support, I am very active in the online communities and spaces I join. I try to meet ppl irl to build community. Met online mutuals and friends offline but it seems no matter what I am not a true priority to anyone despite all that

I truly wanna ask before I stay off of here for the day and maybe someone can answer. What does it take for ppl to cultivate an active community or build a chosen family in these current times? Bc I feel like I’ve tried all I could and it doesnt work.

*year

Lol you’re right. I guess I should have left that part out and judged for myself once I saw the videos.

Let me know when you watch it! I would like to know your thoughts about it! What kind of horror movies are you into?

Omg lol

This is no disrespect to content creators btw. I was an adult content creator and I experienced burn out from constantly cranking out content. I just pride myself in being an artist because creativity is my life force and the only way I've survived tbh. So creating to me is like my religion

The term content creator to me simply implies someone is creating content for consumption. It could be good or bad but as long as you're creating it and cranking it out for folks to consume than you can be a content creator. D'Angelo was an ARTIST.

It's so scary lol but worth it!

That's why I created this zine so I people could really be informed on how caretakers of black trans youth really need ALL the support we can get! bsky.app/profile/thek...

No will ever truly understand how much that has affected not only me but my baby. I can feel the deep despair he has from just existing in this world and only having me as a real support system. It's just not fair. So that's why I will always love him as fiercely as I do.

All that to say as hard as it has been raising my baby alone it has ALWAYS been worth it. And it was never hard because of him. It was hard because people left me to do it alone. My family literally wanted him aborted or put up for adoption when they found out I was pregnant.

I have to constantly tell my son it's not his job to monitor my emotions but it's hard for him when I'm all he has. I have to constantly check myself if I am upset at him and I practice apologizing to him when I know I am being emotionally immature bc I can be at times.

Me and my son have a very intense relationship due to it just really being us two without real emotional support from others. I have to work really hard at us not being emotionally enmeshed but I think due to our circumstances it can be inevitable.

I really want to get more comfortable reading my poetry in front of an audience. One of my dreams as a teenager was to be a spoken word artist. So I'm just trying to honor my inner teen.
