single parenting is actually such a foul concept if it’s not consensual (for example; agreeing to be a donor)
in many ways, i don’t feel that i was raised by a single parent because there was always someone co-raising me up until a certain age. i truly had a village and am thankful for that.
but i can’t imagine getting someone pregnant and being like “nah, i’m good.”. like.. my dad gave it a try atleast before calling it quits. he reappeared in my teens but we just didn’t vibe and there wasn’t that parent-child relationship forcing us together so it didn’t last
i kinda miss his side of the family. it was much smaller than my mom’s side but because of that, it was really tight-knit. so much love. i highkey think i wouldn’t be who i am today if it wasn’t for knowing his side.
his niece (my cousin) was the first time i remember being awed at queerness. i couldn’t put it into words but she wore boxers and wife beaters and men’s clothing in general but she was.. she. i learned so much and i was probably so annoying with all my questions.
and it kinda helped me feel better about all the times before i met her and i felt attracted to feminine presenting people but didn’t know how to ask if that was allowed. this is why representation is so important mayne.
whoops i ain’t mean for this thread to get that deep but i highkey unlocked a memory after tweeting this. ignore me
