This blew my head off six months ago and it keeps coming up.
"We all apologised for being messy weirdos, reflexively, for the last time. This was why we loved each other, and it was why we were on that beach. I will never know how to live with people who aren't perforated, leaking out every little hole and making a fucking mess of the place."
I think I might've shared this already, but too bad you get to read my favourite piece of trans fiction yet a second time
i just woke up and i’m not sure what this is about but sounds really amazing i love it
thanks for sharing
this remind me of a personal story. Once, I caught a glimpse of myself in a mirror, casually, the mirror was there and I wasn't really looking. But in that image, in that space, there was two people. Who I was and who I might be. It's hard to explain because I just saw myself. And what I saw was two people.
So far, I didn't saw again who I might be. I haven't been brave enough yet to take a step forward. Just, that image of loosing form felt like the opposite of what I experienced. And in a way, maybe I can just take a step. Or maybe one more, if I start considering all the previous baby step as step.
again, thanks for sharing.
it's a very relatable feeling! I get that sensation a lot online, where I get to more or less construct my entire identity, and thus get to visualise what I want it to be a lot, and then I'm drawn back to my real physical self, where I need to reckon with all the parts of the present that I'm still shackled to.
Gosh... I felt every word of this. <3 Thank you so much for sharing!

god truly it’s so funny to be around people who aren’t
This is one of the most potent, powerful things written on here and it's a story that's stuck with me, and with so many of my friends. It didn't at first. I didn't get it, at first. I didn't understand.
Just over a month after you posted this, I realized I was trans. Just over a month after this, I understood, I got it, and I have not let this go, and never will.
Thank you. So much.
Omg you're gonna make me cry 😭 what a thing to leave me with so soon before the website goes down forever....
