The piece about “I haven’t been told how long it will take or what I’m supposed to do until then….” Whew! So often our very well intentioned loved ones offer support in the way the know best. And while the intentions are pure and the words are true (because yes, you will be fine!) I wish they could also come with a step by step guide “how to heal in 30 days” because when the pain is debilitating the platitudes just feel …hollow.

Thank you for sharing, Ayo! 💕

I've read "I'm tired of pretending I don't want to do weird sh*t." often enough I've lost count. The only email I've gotten in my life I saw fit to pin. It has the same universal value as something by Crime Thinc or Neal Donald Walsch. Impactful, every time it's read.

Thank you for it. For feeling it. For penning it. For sharing it. All of it.

You're not the only one. Maybe the internet of the modern day is only useful for establishing that. Not strictly for bringing us together. VRChat still needs a Matrix-style upgrade for that to happen. But if it only accomplishes making it clear we aren't, never were, and never have to be, alone, then I consider it worth the labor.

This is an essay from my guest poster Ayo! She is the one who wrote it. But I do agree with your comment 100%

You’re totally fine! Through your comment I realized I hadn’t added her as a co-author on the post
