also not to bring things down after that big hopeful new years post but man, today I found the Christmas letter my great aunt always sends out, where she talked about the past year and informed everyone her gay son is engaged to his longtime partner (exciting!).

however. I know for a fact mom read this letter before I did bc she told me (and I lost mine for 2 weeks), and yet she still only referred to them as "Steven and his......friend." while I was talking to her about it, in a tone that makes it clear she's uncomfortable and vaguely disapproving. she didn't even mention the engagement! even though she had to have read about it!! she went apeshit when his sister got straight married a few years back!! and yet! can't say fiance? can't even say partner??

like hi, parents, this is why I don't tell you anything truly personal! how would you react??

#like im close with my parents in the sense that we help each other out and have dinner each week #but truly. they don't know shit about me. they don't know my sexuality. they don't even know what i read or listen to #but honestly better that they don't know anything about me #id rather be an enigma caring for her disabled parent than face open scorn while caring for a disabled parent you know?#we're stuck together cause of moms health so maybe i just keep my little secrets to thw grave instead of making it awkward #sorry im in my feels again. gonna go read more about aliens destroying humanity and terraforming earth byeeee #side note we are sooooo not getting invited to this wedding lmao aside from my parents...thing.#i was never really close with this cousin...moreso with his sister who was super cool lmao. he is super cool now too but #we don't know each other. i am giving him a thumbs up from afar LMAO
