This year has been interesting and heavy, and being a very small girl with very big problems I didn't truly think I would even survive my own mind by the time my birthday in November came. As I was thinking about my journey this year through a mass that is brain fog and dissociation, I realised that even with stress and burnout, I still felt the light through the heaviest days. I remember times I had panic attacks and felt numb all day long for weeks but then the message would pop up and it would say something either surprisingly profound (DM suddenly revealing lore about their Homebrew campaign we’re all crazy and supportive about) or incredibly stupid (Will, I'm looking at you) in our D&D campaign server and the weight would lift, just a little bit, as we scheduled and mapped the event of our lives to gather round.
And I think it's crazy to think that I've only met most of these amazing people this year around March, or last year at school. I'm realising I have people and their ideas to look forward to and just be CREATIVE around them and it fills me with so much joy. We are really dumb and mentally disabled (diagnosed or not, all are welcome) and very very queer, but I haven't felt so at home in years before I've been to their house surrounded with people I love.
