I confess, I disagree. There is a "we," a collective that is nurtured by folks like you — and specifically YOU. "We" are a better us when we read the same poem (differently), when "we" read your fiercest post and collectively breathe and rage and rejoice and chill out with you. Seriously! (At least that's the way I experience it) :)
Shannan, this is so brave of you to share. I’m sorry that you were surrounded by predators for a long time before community found you, it is so scary how little we do to protect the vulnerable. And wow yes that eye makeup is stunning. ✨

Light holds this all together. All kinds of light--but light. Thank you, Shannan.
So raw, so honest. Thankful you had some good people, the ones at Covenant House, to help you on your way. And look, what an amazing life it is, now!
