This is the kind of thing I dealt with after leaving that I didn’t know anyone else did, because I never met or talked to anyone else who had left outside my own family.
These are conversations I’ve had.
This is why it’s nice to talk to other people who have left.
Its good to be accepted. It’s good when people get your jokes. It’s nice to not have to explain how it all went down before you can just talk about your life. It’s nice to be with people who are growing in some of the same ways. It helps you feel less alien.

there’s a bell hooks voice in my head that constantly repeats “rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation. healing is an act of communion”
