BEFORE I GET ALL DOOM AND GLOOM BC ANXIETY+QUARANTINE HAS SHIFTED MY INSOMNIA INTO MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE AND I HAVE BEEN AWAKE FOR 48 HOURS YET STILL AM NOT SLEEPY:

I really am happy to be happy with cosplay again. I& #39;m happy to be surrounded by such wonderful supportive people
Especially as relationships are shifting, things changing and drifting apart, it makes me so grateful for the group I have around me now. I wouldn& #39;t know where to start in explaining how this is so new to me and how thankful I am for every kind word and the support I have now.
Like, my brain is always mean to me, but this is the first time I& #39;ve felt like I belong somewhere and my company is genuinely wanted (granted, years of healing also helped put my mind in a better spot) but, yall fill my heart with such joy and I always want to cry w gratefulness
Hell, before wedding singer, every show at the space I would have some sort of meltdown, hiding in the bathroom, overwhelmed with my anxiety, family stuff, imposter syndrome, dysphoria, feeling so out of place
But yall gave me a place to belong, and helped me to accept that I did
And I definitely kept myself at a distance until that point
Just w/the familial nature of wedding singer+an appropriate amount of time to heal+was finally going to graduate+finally made steps towards justice, I was finally in a place where I could allow myself to open up more
And, let& #39;s face it, there were some phenomenal people in that cast who I hold dear to my heart. I loved my cast mates in shows before, but that show was really the turning point for me
Now that I look back, another factor that probably led to me finally feeling fully secure was when an issue came up that Abbie was swift to take care of to make sure I felt safe
And the shows I had the fortune of working with after were such a joy, American Idiot, Chavez Ravine
5 years ago i was left alone, at my absolute, rock bottom. But now, even with all the confusion and chaos going on, I& #39;m in such a vastly better place, with incredible people who I love, but also pour that same kind of love back towards me. Yall make me feel like I have value
ANYWAYS RAMBLING AT THIS POINT. My brain is mush which is why I havent done art streams, but I love and appreciate the hell out of you beautiful, wonderful people. I dont remember what this thread was even about at the beginning. But I love you guys
