secret garden

two new blankets/comforters, new sheets and pillow cases, a rice cooker and an electric kettle <3

knowing people like me exist that i haven't met because, like me, they don't like to go out and be seen. there are people who love colors and glitter and silly things and struggle with the concept of "growing up" and there are people who are traumatized and afraid of the world (i love you), and there are people who share my traits that annoy people. and it makes me feel less alone when i think about how much i've been made to feel less than because of those things. when i felt like i must be the only weirdo in the world.

i'm so happy about all the other weirdos that this website has introduced me to. i'm happy that you all know that i exist in the world, being weird and happy and kind and encouraging all the other weirdos.

thank you for posting on here and sharing the things about you that are unique and special. thanks for sharing your talents and your art and your writing. thanks for making me feel like i'm not alone.

without this website idk if i'd have ever even considered being allowed to think critically of my identity and my gender. idk if i would have ever been proudly bisexual or if i would have shoved that part of me away.

i know if i didn't move out at 18. if i stayed in my small town, with my close-minded family. i wouldn't be who i am now. i don't even know if i'd be here now. so finding this site. finding other people like me has been such an important healing journey.
