this was beautiful :) it was hard to read at times, because of how painfully relatable a lot of it is. but it also helps me consider my own experiences. particularly early on, when Good struggles to identify the oppressive society they live in as the cause of their severe stress, and resultant physical pain. I have been working on realizing just how big of an effect stress has had on my body, and I'm grateful to see those connections drawn so clearly.
there are also so many happy feelings here! seeing Good start to discover themselves with Loud is wonderful. Loud is so caring, and tries so much to be understanding. it makes me so happy to see them together, and makes me feel glad for my own loved ones. I was close to tears of gay joy at some points.
I've been listening to the ending music on loop while I write this. I'm hesitant to just turn it off because it feels so strongly associated with the comfort and love shown in the ending I got. I want to keep these warm feelings with me.
