BEING ABLE TO TALK TO YOUR PARENTS ABOUT UNCOMFORTABLE AND HARD THINGS
it’s 3 am and I just had the most amazing conversation with my mom about my sexuality and what it means. I’m so grateful to have a family that not only loves and accepts me but truly wants to know about my life and experiences and wants to learn about queerness and what lgbtqia+ people experience. I came out of the conversation feeling so much better and feeling like a weight has been lifted now that I’ve been able to get things off my chest. I hope everyone is able to have someone like that in their life ❤️

So happy for you 💕 Wish I could experience that with the parents. Maybe some day I'll give them a chance instead of just anticipating their reactions. For now, I'll just appreciate my accepting aunts and cousins 🤍

@PRELIMINARY_YELLOW_YAK I got so lucky in the parental department but I hope you‘re able to find comfort and understanding from your other family and friends, and even random strangers on the internet sometimes. I’m always happy to chat <3

The first scale model i ever made
During my senior year of high school, I designed a set for a conceptual theatre production of The Sound of Music and made a white model for it in 1/4” scale. I love that model to death. When I look at it, I feel so sure that I‘m on the right career path for me.

Seeing Smoke coming out of chimneys makes me so unexplainably happy
I can‘t even begin to explain the dopamine hit I get when I see chimney smoke. Maybe it reminds me that there’s actually people inside, that there are other people living completely different lives that I would never know about? Maybe it’s the aesthetic? It just somehow makes me feel less alone in the world.
