After an incredibly emotional and difficult couple weeks, this week was a relief. I was invited to a girl's night with pumpkin painting and nostalgic Halloween movies (Nightmare Before Christmas, Hocus Pocus, etc). Just soooo thankful to have some super supportive women in my life 🥹. I've started to feel oddly lonely around my normal friend group - queer men who are very supportive and who I love, but idk... there's just been this growing disconnect inside me lately. The way they talk, try to comfort, connect... I've been feeling guilty about it, but I feel worse ignoring my feelings and trying to force myself to be somewhere I don't want to be. Like, how does the girl at the coffee shop I visit throughout the week know exactly how to comfort me, pick me up, include me, and make me feel seen, but my long-time friends don't 😭

Oh! I've also been playing Infinity Nikki and losing it over how cute and cozy the story, world, and clothes are! Suuuper recommend it!!
