You know that moment when someone asks, “So, what do you do?”
And you can feel them waiting for a safe, digestible answer, something they can nod politely to and move on.

The number of people who unfollow when I speak my truth? Hilarious.
You’ve lingered in my shadows for a decade, and only just noticed
I’m a goth.
That alone should’ve told you everything about my stance.
If not… do yourself a favor, and go touch grass.
