One of my aunts messaged me on fb out of the blue about how happy I’ve seemed in the past year or two and how she “didn’t see that much before” and it’s WEIRD because I’ve never really had anyone in my life, especially an adult, acknowledge I was fundamentally unhappy for so long? Like sometimes I don’t think I was, even though I know I was, especially as a teen, and I thought no one knew so it wasn’t quite real? Also she’s honest and perceptive so it’s weird to think she might know WHY, less the gay/butch stuff and more the parent stuff, we get along but we’re not close enough for that to not be uncomfortable
