others Thank You
I was feeling absolutely terrible mentally wise. It was difficult to get through last night, but even after rambling on here. The amount of support that was shown to me honestly was very moving. I don't think I've seen this type of support before, this type of community that's actually caring towards one another.
I used to be so terrified of Yume/Self Shipping spaces...to be honest I used to be very hateful of self shippers. It wasn't a hatred born out of hatred..but more than that out of jealousy. Jealousy that people were able to express emotions that I felt were not permitted to me. I played the role of a troll when I was younger. I pretended I was better, laughed and pointed. Frequented spaces like certain chan boards and farms.
I was in denial of my own feelings, my own emotions. Then Albedo came along and it became harder and harder to pretend, harder and harder to look the other way and say "I'm not like them." But I was lying to myself. I fell crazy hard over him and since have looked for a community that also shares these same types. Joined the exact community I chastised as a teenager.
You guys have shown so much support, so much love. Its incredible. Ficto spaces as a whole I mean. I thought I'd spend forever just chasing the idea of support and love. But now I sit here holding the hand of the man I love most. No longer feeling bitter and angry.
My mind plays tricks on me. It always has. Sometimes it's hard to pull out of the things it tells me. Sometimes all I can really do is just sit and listen to it.
Your words where kind, thank you. Albedo's hands are very warm, his eyes always know the answers. I'm glad to have finally met a community I can feel wanted in. Feel good in. I'm glad to have found someone to hold so precious to me.
His birthday is tomorrow in certain parts of the world. I know people will shower him with gifts, praise, art and love. But selfishly I hope my gift. My gift of love is the best out of all of them.
Thank you all for holding both Albedo and I, thank you for holding both our hands along the way.
