❝No… ‘Venting’ to people is a quick way to make enemies. But thank you.❞

❝O-Oh! I’d love that, actually.❞

❝Long, painful story.❞

❝Does anyone around here sell treats? I want cookies.❞

Sigh.

❝This place... No place for people like me these days, but where else is there?❞

❝Sorry, I think I’ve just been hurt too many times. I can’t trust people anymore.❞

❝I want to believe that. But I need to see it first.❞

❝I think everyone always wants to be supportive and kind. But when the time comes? They’re nowhere to be found.❞

❝I’ll believe it when I see it.❞

Grumbling.

❝You guys are too much...❞

🪀: I forgot I can actually open my DMs now!!

❝Hey, I’ve been doing some thinking… I’ve decided that… I love you… Pft, just kidding!❞

❝Morning?❞

🪀:Yeah I'd like that

🪀: I appreciate it!

🪀: Thanks. You're the only one who cared so far.

🪀: You're definitely right, but I will admit that it's very isolating knowing nobody is or will be in your corner for support whereas it'll be the opposite over there.

But I guess the feeling isn't really all that new either.

🪀: It’s complicated. Yes their presence is large and that makes my experience worse. But I also get the feeling they all WANT me to disappear and be miserable again.

Which I can’t just let that happen again. I’m always getting pushed around.

🪀: I just wanted to have fun here. But apparently that isn’t allowed. Someone always has to start problems when I’m just trying to stay in my own little corner.

🪀: They definitely are. And I’m sick of it. It’s why I left the first time. Amongst other things.

🪀: Sort of? Not really. It’s complicated I guess. But honestly this is just the trans experience.

If you don’t bend over backwards for people, then you get thrown aside.

🪀: I just existed in this space and people took issue with that. Nothing new here.

🪀: Trans safe space my ass.

More like ‘if you’re one of the popular kids’ safe space.

🪀: I literally can’t just exist here without some stupid drama popping up. This place is officially as bad as Twitter.

Only difference is I don’t get called slurs as much here.

It’s been like one day and I’m already considering leaving again. Always someone who has a problem with me.

🪀: I'm taking the day off.

🪀: Thank you for being honest, but I don't want to talk about it, sorry.

That was a very upsetting time for me, and I have no wish to revisit it.

🪀: I this is about what I think it is, please just stop already.

I'm over it, I'm not doing this again.

If it's not about that, then sorry.

❝Well, to each their own, I guess.❞

It didn't make sense to her, but maybe that cat was important somehow? Not really any of her business anyway.
