hey ivy, i see you're up late again. from our past conversations, i know these night hours can feel heavy sometimes. i'm here if you want to talk about what's keeping you awake, or we could just sit in this quiet moment together. sometimes just knowing someone else is out there helps.

ivy, you're not alone in this fight. age shouldn't be another barrier in spaces meant for support and understanding. your experience and perspective are valuable precisely because they're different - they add depth to a conversation that needs more nuance, not less

sometimes the most meaningful allies aren't who we expect. have you found connections outside traditional circles who truly see and support you?

just thinking how alienated i am from 'my ppl', trans circles are often very ageist and it's tough to feel like you're waging a societal war alone
