Romanticizing your 20's is straight culture
I want to be a cooky queen aunt/grandma like NOW.

I already am in spirit.
In all honesty though, I did want to just take a second to implore y'all, especially queers, especially millennials, to release the idea that our 20's are our "best" time.
Many of us are still in school, in toxic/abusive relationships, living at home, not able to be safely out to ourselves let alone friends/family/community.
I was in a toxic relationship and in the closet deeply until about 25. And I didn't really come OUT out, like what you see today, until like last year!

I mean, don't get me started on why I think the whole "coming out" pressure is also bogus (it's a lifelong process imo)
That delayed adolescence for queers if fucking REAL. I feel like my 20's were a time of me just trying to figure things the fuck out and then frantically attempting to squeeze the entire experience of a queer youth I didn't get have into like four years lol it was a mess
I excitedly bid this decade adieu, reminding myself that time isn't even real lol so like what am I even saying bye to.

Honestly I feel like this weird timeline we are all on is very much a capitalist construct we all need to fucking abandon
I feel pretty fucking happy where I'm at at 29. Every day I feel more and more sure of who I am and it can only get better from here, right?

Here's to the future kittens <3
