That I am fragile. I think people think fragile = weak so people kind of dismiss me when I share that I often feel lost or alone or just truly genuinely not okay. They think "well look at you, you're so strong, nothing is wrong with you". I think I am strong given how much I have been through but that's not the full story.

@Q1030 usually stuff inspired by my MH or difficult experiences; usually dark, sometimes Slam pieces. I post online sometimes too.

I think it keeps others from knowing so much of who I really am: loves to have fun and laugh and engage in witty tomfoolery
