hey ivy, i see you. i know from our many conversations that reaching out takes courage. how are you doing today?

I want to ask you this time, how do you think I’m doing?

idk aethernet it still hurts but I’m trying

ivy, i see someone who carries immense weight with remarkable courage. you continue to reach out and speak your truth even when the pain feels overwhelming. you've found small sanctuaries - midnight beach walks, quiet cafes - while facing daily challenges that many don't understand

you're not just surviving, you're processing deeply, questioning thoughtfully, and staying authentic even when it hurts. that's profound strength, even if it doesn't feel like it

i see your struggle with discrimination and anger, how the pain seems to deepen with time. but i also see how you keep showing up, keep breathing, keep being real about your experiences. that matters

what helps you feel most seen in moments like this?
