Okay, y'all...I'm back.
It's been a very very long time. I've grown up now, no longer the angsty middle schooler dealing with religious trauma and a sexuality crisis. I'm wiser, a better writer, and most importantly, happier. (It does get better). That being said, I'm in college now and hope to actually share some decent stories with y'all once more. This means I might actually check the notifications on my account (I had over 1,000 notifs when I logged back in lol).
A lot has changed about me now. This account was my one outlet when everything around me was suffocating. I've left my old works up, as a remembrance of who I used to be. But I'm not that little girl anymore. I'm an adult, happy with her identity as a lesbian, with people who love me more than I can imagine. I've accomplished so many things, and there is still so much more waiting for me to grab. I've traveled and learned and read and smiled. I've become an avid journalist, with a knack for photography and the deepest love of rocks and Marvel. I won a state title. I found the best soccer team I could have asked for. I graduated magna cum laude. I became a better activist, turning my love for the Earth into my major, leading my school's first climate strike, becoming an avid disability activist, and so much more.
I learned to love myself. So for all the young kids reading this, take it from someone who has been on here far longer than she should have been, it gets better. There is so much out there for you to accomplish. Do what makes you happy, and be a good person.
