People are always on about “the terrifying ordeal of being known,” but there’s nothing in life that I yearn for more than this. To be known intimately, inside and out, and still be found worthy of love? How can you not yearn for that?

It should be stated that I’m a bi cis black guy, and even in queer spaces I oft feel like a beast starved of affection, which definitely colors my preference here.

I yearn for that so badly, but I hold so much hate and disgust for myself that I doubt anyone will ever “know” me. Even if they did they’d see how disgusting I am and leave. That’s what scares me. (Feel like I should also preface that I’m a trans poc so my internalized issues might be coming through here)
