Though Thanksgiving has some problematic historical contexts, I still enjoy taking today to take stock of what's going on in my life, and noting all the things I'm thankful for. It's magical for the brain, and so helpful for reminding us what's important in our lives.
Take care, be gentle with yourself, and celebrate as much as you can, even if it’s just making your morning cup of coffee. The world is stressful, but you're allowed to take a bit of a break from it, every now and then, and recognize how much you've accomplished.
So, uh...guess who's on Wattpad? I hope you guessed me because I now realize that I could be asking that question about...literally anyone else.

I put up a new piece on my Medium account today in celebration of National Coming Out Day! I wanted to talk a little bit about the struggle of coming out, and how it's rarely the end of the hard work that comes with living in society as a queer individual. However, that should …
