it’s a starting point, a safe place that is yours alone. i couldn’t exist as myself under the same roof as my parents, it was torture. then, before i started trying presenting femme in public, i was trying shit out in my room, in my apartment, with nobody but me to see and judge. it’s a necessary step i just don’t want you to interpret it as the key to fixing everything.
i feel you on the effort. it’s much more worth it when you’re able to actually enjoy the results
