You Know Without You I’m So Lonely

From 1 TO 13.... The 13th Annual Carat Survey is now open!

Not sure if anyone is still here but had to release it on Tumblr for my OGs <3 Clearly if there's one thing I am, it's a creature of habit.

Responses will be collected for about a month, and as always, results will be posted here and on my Twitter. Check out past infographics here!

I’m looking forward to seeing the results! Please feel free to spread the link to the survey to other platforms to reach as many Carats as possible ^^ 

Cocona Instagram Update

"Hi, this is Cocona. 🐉 Today, I turned 20.☺︎ As I reach this new chapter in my life, I want to share something that’s been in my heart for a long time.

I am AFAB transmasculine non-binary. Earlier this year, I had top surgery. I was born and perceived as female, but that label never represented who I truly am. I live in a way that feels more masculine and true to who I am.

The hardest thing I’ve ever faced was accepting and embracing myself. But as I slowly began to do that, I was able to open a new door. That moment changed the way I see and understand the world, and it gave me the courage and strength to grow. Now, I can finally say, “There’s nothing wrong with who I am inside.” I was only able to come this far because of the people who listened and stood by me — my members, Simon-san, and my parents. 🫶 I’m truly grateful for this path, and for every miracle that brought us together.

This message turned out a bit long, but I just want to say thank you — for walking beside me and for supporting me all this way. I’m so excited for the future we’ll continue to create together with XG and XGALX. 🌏🌎🌍👽♾️

May these words gently light a spark in someone’s heart. And to everyone who needs it — may my love reach all of them. With love, always. 🤍
