You know, the new Pixel phone looks so good! Omg, I’m so tempted to get it. But to be honest, the whole Google ecosystem is kind of lacking compared to Apple’s, even though I really like their phones. I think they outshine Apple's, but it’s whatever. I was going to buy a 15 Pro Max the other day, but then I was like, "I might as well wait for the 16, right?" It just makes sense. But I truly cannot stand this 12 Mini—toy phone!! It’s so slow, even after replacing the battery. The new battery change helped a lot, but still, it’s nothing compared to my old Pixel phone.

Anyway, apologies for the delay in posting! The past couple of weeks have been a rollercoaster—much of it due to my overthinking, I must admit. But, you know, I also think some other people need to be held accountable for their own wrongdoings too! But whatever, love wins, I guess!

Speaking of love winning, I also went to a Pride parade the other day. If you follow me on Twitter (which I know like all of you do), you probably saw some of the pics I posted! I thought I looked all handsome and stuff with my lil’ mascara, hehe. I met THE Miss Cucú there and just had a really fun time. It was my second ever Pride, and I spent it with someone pretty special to me. It’s still kind of weird—this is stuff my 15yo self would have dreamed of experiencing, and now I’m kind of living it. LOVE REALLY DOES WIN, YAY!

But while I’m on this topic, this past week I came out to my family in a kind of nonchalant way. I don’t know—I thought I would post some pictures from the Pride event on Facebook and wrote this whole lengthy, cheesy caption. I talked about how I’ve been fearful for a long time of coming out to my family, but it was something that had to be done. For a long time, I was so sick and tired of the constant questions regarding girls and my orientation, even though it was quite obvious what I was. I felt like certain people were just adding this constant pressure to get me to say what I was while also being so passive-aggressive. The whole thing just made me say enough is enough.

Again, I think it’s dumb as hell to even have to come out and explain to people what I like—it shouldn’t be a big deal. What pains me the most is that I still have so much love for these people, yet their “natural” reaction is to be shocked, confused, appalled even. And I’m like, why are we acting shocked, first of all? Also, it’s not a major holiday... and why would you ask if I’m topping or bottoming? (Trust me, I’ve had this question so many times, like literally right after saying I’m gay—why does it matter, and why would you want to know that??)

But what hurts the most is that despite getting these weird-ass responses, I still have to sympathize and be patient with them because they’re my family, and I care about them! I hope someday they can come around and be a lot more cool with it, which I don’t think may happen, but I still want to bite the bullet and hope anyway.
