grief muted the colors in my personality and totally altered the way i exist in the world. it robbed me of the ability to feel joy in moments that should have absolutely been magical. it taints my interactions and even my ability to complete simple tasks. it’s that devastating.

@CassDonish The Girl and the Goddess by Nikita Gill, The Terrible by Yrsa Daley-Ward, In the Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado, Zami by Audre Lorde, and Assata Shakur’s autobiography! Some of my favorite novels that are told in poems or mixed poem and prose!

men who play devil's advocate in arguments where they have no stake in the topic and can remain calm while the other person gets emotional and then think they have won should be sent to space

Gays love to visit a city and go “should I move here?” So they can be sad somewhere new.

If you were “mature for their age” you might have been parentified. Parentification is when a child is made to fill an adult role.

This is an “invisible” trauma that has life long impact.
