the stories being told on area unknown are so important, man. stories of identity and of grief and of learning to love and be loved and learning to be vulnerable and learning to trust and making mistakes and trying to fix them and of family trauma and hating the skin you’re stuck in and of learning to make friends and learning that it’s okay to let other people in and rely on them and of creating a family and being okay with putting down roots and of promises and of friendship and of the hubris that comes with discovery and of the love still being there despite the tragedy and of healing and just. queer love and celebration. queer joy. trans allegories. trying to be better. trying. trying and trying and not giving up and letting other people be there beside you as you keep on trying.
