just found your website from furryring and... omg former sheltered kid moving out gang?? I'm not quite going through the same thing, but like I still relate a lot to trying to leave parts of my old life behind and starting a new one... also coming out was (and will be) a struggle for me...
this is really great, i feel for you. thank you for sharing your words and experiences!
this is such a beautiful thought - we don't talk enough about how non-linear life can be at times. congratulations on your first piece!
tysm for the comment and for checking it all out!!! :D
