Ma mère a tellement de la chance que je l'aime et que j'aime mes cousines et que je me suis préparée mentalement à me faire abuser verbalement, franchement elle se rend pas compte des concessions que je fais

That aching moment when you spend quality time with your family and you think that maybe things are okay and you healed enough and you love them, only to be smashed down by the sudden memory of every queerphobic comment they've made and the painful realization that their love is conditional

I'm very self-conscious about how loud my voice is but it really stresses me out whenever I carefully lower my tone because I can't hear myself anymore, so I always end up speaking louder again despite knowing that people were probably still able to hear me. I hate it.

...les enfants ont réveillé un truc en moi que j'avais totalement oublié . . . 24 ans la révélation que j'avais déjà eu mais refusé dix ans avant, damn

Still singlehandly holding this household together by spending my saturday helping my brother and sister-in-law renovating their kitchen lol (no one else was available/wanted to come)
