I read this the first time in 2022 and now again. This was so powerful it rocked my world. I felt such a liberation when I came out to myself as a pansexual nonbinary, and felt endless possibilities open. But when I think about the endless possibilities of being who I truly am under that mask - why does it feel so scary and impossible?
In true witch spirit, this newsletter has come right on time this week, as I sit in contemplation of all the versions of myself I perform in order to find myself loved, accepted, desired etc. I’ve recently been diagnosed with ADHD and am just starting to wipe back the dust on my own memories to see how much masking I’ve done (and continue to do!) in order to be perceived as “high-functioning” and/or successful in whatever capacity it may be. Fuck it’s exhausting. Thank you for sharing this Jericho - as someone right at the beginning of this delving, it gives me much to reflect on. ♥️ X

Beautifully written and definitely got lost in a journal loop ❤️🔥❤️🔥
