I love your writing style! it's hauntingly beautiful and so refreshing in it's rawness. I can't even begin to pick favorite parts bc it all resonated so deeply. it made me viscerally feel the magnitude of cold terror that often comes with confronting all these contradictions headfirst, the agony of constantly seeking reassurance for our existence, like we need everyone else to confirm that we aren't invisible even though visibility is equally terrifying. but also felt bathed and warm and safe in the final manifesto of commitment to not betray our honest selves in spite of it all, that it's all we can do. thank you for this ❤️
Thank you so much for your eyes and your kind words! It's always so thrilling to me how accessible words get when you get really close to the bone of one's own individual experience. I'm glad I could inspire you, and I hope you stick around for more :)
This post was so fuckin real and probably took serious guts to post. I love the vulnerability and how poetically you describe these complex feelings of fighting with our two inner selves. Couple of favorite lines:
"the unbearable crime of being"
"it’s a disaster to be seen!"
"the right you is wrong to everyone else — because it’s yours, only yours, no one else’s vision"
"Dignity? Who’s that? All I have is my heart in my hands and the words which keep spilling out of the open wound now that I’ve blown open the dam and the ribs."
Really really appreciate the highlight of what you loved, it means a lot 💜 believe it or not it's easier to show my whole heart to the world than it is for me to face my whole self alone in the dark 💔 but the challenge is the journey
This is true and the natural shedding is often very liberating: And that’s if you’re doing it right. Because the right you is wrong to everyone else — because it’s yours, only yours, no one else’s vision. People will begin to notice who you really are and fall away naturally from the misalignment…

Liberating but scary, foundation-shaking. I've been through it countless times and it never gets any easier. Thank you as always for reading 🙏🏽
I’m going through it now, and you are welcome!
