Queer. Writerprenuer. Artists Activist. Professional try-hard & a reluctant optimist. Space is a catch-all for inside thoughts out loud.

Oh hi. I wrote a gay ass romance story. Hope y'all like it. 💚💙💜

I learned early that I was the impermanent object. Easily forgotten yet always expected - seen when the mood strikes. Otherwise out of sight, out of mind. Mostly out of mine.

[Noelle Brooks @agingnicegirl]

I found myself wondering for years why others always left me, never realizing I was the one who did it first.

[Noelle Brooks @agingnicegirl]

@dox_gay All IPAs. (Ask me how I know. 🙂🙃😂)

[Noelle Brooks @agingnicegirl]

@MiniMuerta @dox_gay I was literally like, "where's the both option??"

[Noelle Brooks @agingnicegirl]

Been riding on the memory of when I believed in myself, when I actually liked myself. But it hasn't been true for such a long time.

[Noelle Brooks @agingnicegirl]

@dox_gay Canned corn is one of the few exceptions, probably b/c it's not even real food. 😂

[Noelle Brooks @agingnicegirl]

@dox_gay Canned green beans. Mom cooked them often and forced me to eat them despite them being objectively disgusting and an alarming texture.

[Noelle Brooks @agingnicegirl]

Oh and immense mental and emotional self harm. It doesn't matter if it's just my dumbass, right? 🙃

[Noelle Brooks @agingnicegirl]

No amount of torment, ridicule, "tough love," etc. kills the sensitive kid. We just channel it in different, often detrimental ways. We just pick a new, more societally acceptable "toxic" trait.

Mine? Perfectionism and pathological people pleasing. 🤗🙃🤪

[Noelle Brooks @agingnicegirl]

Is it a point of pride? Or a point of trauma?

[Noelle Brooks @agingnicegirl]

Not my quote.

"The most powerful thing you can do is become the image of your own imagination."

[Noelle Brooks @agingnicegirl]

I'm full of so much need. Far more than one human should be allowed.

[Noelle Brooks @agingnicegirl]

Simply deciding l'm magic. Results to come.

[Noelle Brooks @agingnicegirl]

It's sorta like if Steven Universe stayed. Like that.

[Noelle Brooks @agingnicegirl]

"I don't feel inside my body." When your life is the disassociation.

[Noelle Brooks @agingnicegirl]

I beat the final boss!!! Undefeated bitch 🏆 🤝🏾 😭😭😫😫🤧❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

You literally have nothing in me. Unfuckwitable.

[Noelle Brooks @agingnicegirl]

@magstrology Don't hate this color combo...

[Noelle Brooks @agingnicegirl]

If you can't beat em...find another mfin gig! Wtf would you join them???

[Noelle Brooks @agingnicegirl]

Standing up to threats was always easy - but when the call is literally coming from inside the house???
