#emotionalawareness — Public Fediverse posts

I used to think "they're my person" was a permanent title.
Gave it like a crown.
Titles get revoked.
People aren't positions. They're choices, daily ones.

I used to think I was alone in feeling this.
Then I wrote it down.
And thousands of strangers said "me too."
That's why this account exists.

I used to think "fighting for us" was noble.
Fought. Begged. Held on.
You can't fight for an "us" alone.
That's not fighting. That's shadowboxing.

I once apologized for crying.
"Sorry, I'm being emotional."
As if feelings were an inconvenience.
As if I owed anyone an apology for having a heart.
