And I’m not sure how relevant this is, but the last couple years have taught me a very important lesson about my own personal truth —

It needs to come out slowly to the world, and that conversations that get me to the point where it can be revealed outward need to happen with only my oldest friends and chosen family.

There are a lot of people who just don’t want to believe me when I say the things that happened, and they repeatedly would shellack their own needs and comfort over my own during my times of distress.

You can talk to me as much as you need, until you’re ready to expand your circle, mija!
