Heard some say recently "It's better to be hated for who you are, than to be loved for someone you are not." I was irritated when I heard this bc I thought this was stupid. But now I'm having second thoughts about it.

I feel this so much. When I was cis-passing and still in the closet, I was adored by all these older republican people who I worked with, but I was absolutely miserable in my own skin. It wasn’t really me who they loved, just my mask. After finally pushing past the fear and starting my transition, those people no longer like me. Some of them even hate me, but I’m myself, and for once I’m happy

oh, I should’ve mention that the MV is a must-watch. you haven’t listened to the song if you don’t watch the MV (and read the lyrics since I need subtitles lmao). I still use some of those shots as my background lol

Yeah I watched it—the start of grey gradual fade into clearer brighter color was really impactful. It feels like how it is finding my own emotions sometimes.

the artist for the MV (insertdisc5) was also the creator of In Stars And Time which is tied for my fav game ever (and had related themes and is very trans) so that art & its context along with the actual song is probs why I love it so much (Vane Lily—one of the creators—is trans & said the song was deeply related to her trans experience, so there’s that too lol)
