yes completely of course. which i think i also haven't squared away in my approach, like because *i* can take on whatever own weird burden i place on myself, but i see the reactions of everyone who does get it as entirely justified
and its a funny example because i could actually totally imagine myself agreeing to that at this point. i would go to the bright light store and have the connection. and it would be imperfect and i would put up with it, and wouldnt communicate. which is bad, but
like at what point do i flip the switch and be honest? i try to slowly make myself known ig. and also for a while ive been sorta reinventing myself so i havent stayed as hard and fast to old willow traits. like even this conversation i actually feel like im lying and i just dont know lmfao
i dont have an identity so ill play with any and all of your masks for a while. but then it comes back to:
you've seen the fluctuations, youve seen the returns. you know my habits so you know when im masking, and by this i mean explicitly, noticeably, actually self-harmingly masking. and you can try to protect me but no one will understand, and i appreciate it anyway. pls dont stop because ur all i have
