@AzulCrescent@tech.lgbt there is a special kind of grief in what you say in the last panel, about not being able to be yourself for such a long portion of your life feeling like that time is lost is hard. ​:blahaj_hug:​ to add on to what others have said, it takes time, and as a neurodivergent and trans person, it can take even more it'll even be harder to make space where you can meet someone like this, but it'll be worth it, if that's what you want! and yeah, you can still get infatuated and silly about falling in love at any age~ ​:drgn_3c:​
