…But I’m really grateful for the pockets of family and community I experience, like here. My family is homophobic and father is incredibly abusive. They are not in my life except for superficial support. Sometimes it hits me harder, that I may never have a community I belong deeply to. I’ve searched my whole life for a place to belong and am left always just with myself, which is okay but hard. I’m glad I have me.

Weed can really help bring me so much peace to the pain in my heart. I can be more grateful and accept things as they are. I’m grateful I have a place to see others express themselves, in their highs 🍃 and lows. Seeing the community here has always brought me a lot of joy, comfort, and peace. Thanks to all of you for this 💚
