Even with the fire, if I look up, the trees just keep going. They fade into black with no discernible endpoint. It’s like they’ve swallowed up the stars.
Do you think if you screamed now, that it would break through something that vast?
Do you think anyone would come for us?

A beautiful, thoughtful meditation on resolving the disparate but also deeply important parts of ourselves that at first blush may seem irreconcilable. This was such a unique experience for talking about transness without mentioning the physical at all - a truly deep dive into the ways being trans is enmeshed with so many facets of our lives, our memories and our experiences within ourselves. Joy that isn't easily won, but feels so incredibly worth it - so incredibly necessary nonetheless.
And all this mixed with expressive art against a beautiful but terrifying backdrop, juxtaposing the immensity of nature against our own human fragility - how it all this inner conflict can feel at once so impossibly huge and all-consuming, terrifying and electrifying in its potential and possibility.
This left me with a lot to chew and reflect on, the experience will stick with me for a long time. Thank you for sharing, this is truly something special.
Cool, short, punchy. Good story!
Love the symbolism!
