the one time someone braves my dms and they turn out to be my cousin #islandtings

Luckily we found out first thing. Asked for village and last name, mothers maiden & they were like "o that& #39;s my dad& #39;s last name too but must be a different branch"

LANÑA& #39; PRIM ITS A SMALL ASS TREE

To their credit, we havent seen each other in A DECADE, since we were really little. So we didnt recognize each other.

It was cool to reconnect tho cause I moved off island & didnt know of other queer family members. I remember feeling so alone and isolated in those years.
