Consider that writing about trauma and death and grief is...well it's not healing, you never really heal, but it's my way of taking control of it and fighting back. Let me have this, please.
-
Sometimes people ask me to write happier stories, less traumatic and violent.
I don't really care anymore. I'm not going to pretend the world gave me a happier story. Why should I pretend it did in my fiction?

Even if you think I'm a feminine man, I'm still a man, not some other amalgamation of gender.
-
I remember early after I came out, I had people tell me that "I can't use he/him on you, is they/them ok?" And my mother calls me her "child" but is incapable of calling me her son
-
I don't like being she/herd, I tolerate and understand it OCCASIONALLY from people very close to me and like random strangers on the street--but I would rather be she/herd than they/themmed! I'm like 90% masc and occasionally kind of feminine, I'm never some "other thing"

I've been awake since 2 am and my breakfast will be instant noodles
This is the way of champions
-
I can't sleep and I wish I had someone I could annoy
-
Maybe getting a facial piercing and getting even edgier can fix me. Being an edgy bitch has gotten me this far.
-
So for better worse, I'm used to being "damaged" and having to just suck it up, bc there's always someone else who needs support. I can get by. I suppose.
