It’s a soft hand tracing the stretch marks left behind by a once messy, awkward, painful, and frightening realisation of my queerness.

When, out of my face, I’d confessed to someone with my words, my precious words, how I had loved them all those years ago. I was half-expecting some big revelation or closure or acknowledgement, but it didn’t come. I would always be something they’d rather pretend didn’t happen.\n\n\"I wish I could tell little Cob how much joy and beauty was waiting for them on the other side of all that pain.
