Hey, honestly think its really good you have found a way to be yourself, especially in this awful current world scape constantly demonising the queer community. I think being able to express yourself and being yourself makes life worth living a bit more. It's also good you've developed some connections as a result. Being a part of a community and having good people around you makes life so much more bareable. Giving back to the community is also something to live for.
I really do hope life continues to get better for you, even if it does get rough, so hang in there <3 The ideations will always be rough and it can be so tempting especially in this gloomy hellscape called earth. But being able to be yourself in this world of drones and sheep is something to strive for. I hope I don't come off too giddy or fake but seeing a win does make me a little happier. Like there still a ray of light.
